While kids love these, they may need help from an adult to put them together. Just cut, fold and glue, instructions are listed on the card. Who else remembers riding in the “way back” in a “woodie” wagon?

A limited edition, when these are gone they are gone. Grab one while you can!

LIMITED EDITION! We have brought back an old favorite, the vintage 3D DIY station wagon card. And this time we’ve added a yuletide / xmas tree to go on top. These cards are great gifts that become a Christmas tree ornament or a novelty wagon to sit on your mantle.

Eugenie Clark was a Japanese American scientific pioneer who was a world authority on sharks and fish. In 1955 she built the Cape Haze Marine Laboratory. Her work dispelled the negative assumptions of shark behavior. She conducted 72 submersible dives, her last at age 92.
