Lego sets generally come with complete easy to follow building instructions. However, it is much better if children can build new models from scratch without plans. Making a Lego Education Wedo car controlled from the computer with Lego WeDo software or MIT Scratch software is quite easy and hopefully the photos below showing how such a car can be built step by step to build a basic car base which can be added upon to customize can encourage them to create new models from scratch on their own:
