DS1 has been asked by school to design a Victorian moving toy which can be made in class!

Using a shoe box/cereal box, cams, wind up etc.

I am totally clueless, any advice?! )

car running from an elastic band? Sounds quite hard TBH! How moving does it have to be? You could make a rocking horse...

car thing is good thanks.

It is hard isn't it!

My best idea was stick wheels on the box and a piece of string and pull, lol
