Toy Plane

Make the pieces for the toy plane

• Take a cereal box or cardboard, some tape, a few straws and a cardboard tube.

•  Cut out the wings and the tail.

•  Cut four rectangles the same size, around 1.5 ' by 3.5 ' in size then trim the sides.

• Make the propeller by punching six holes on the side, near the bottom of the paper cup then, make a small hole in the center of the bottom of the cup, slightly bigger than a straw.

• Insert the bendy straws into the holes and trim them.

• Wrap some tape around one end and insert through the hole on the bottom of the cup. Add tape to hold it.

• Cut out propellor of an old cereal box. Punch a hole in the center of it. Make sure your hole is bigger than your straw propeller shaft. Now drop your propeller on and see if it spins!
