Kennedy Chugg, 25, wanted her nine-month-old daughter Stella to have a more practical toy, rather than an ipad and a TV, so she spent two weeks remodeling the toy. The TikToker and realtor from Ogden, Utah, USA, spent $70 (£60) on materials, including painting supplies, real badges and hubcaps from VW cars. Kennedy first painted it in yellow and white from the original red, which took two days. She then added real badges and hubcaps from VW cars alongside chrome details, and a stick-on Hawaiian number plate. The response to the project online has been incredible, with the first installment reaching a massive 10 million views, and the follow-up almost 600K. Kennedy says Stella hasn't quite figured out what the car is for yet, as she doesn't know how to push it around with her feet, but loves getting pushed in it. She said: "I thought the project would be fun. I'm a novice at DIY, but I feel like this was an accessible project for me, as it's mostly painting. "It has a super fun retro feel. A lot of Stella's toys have a pretty eclectic style. I had a really great childhood playing outside with real toys, and I wanted her to have the same. "She hasn't quite figured out how to push herself around in it yet, but it's been really fun doing it together.
