Build an airplane

Let’s build our own airplane!

All you’ll need is:

• Poster board

• Glue

• Scissors

• A ruler

• A pencil or pen

• A large popsicle stick

• 2 large paper clips

Cut out one 11” x 3” rectangle (middle wing), two 9” x 1” rectangles (body), and two 4” x 1” rectangles (front and back wings).

Glue the middle wing across the middle of one of the body rectangles and the front wing across the front of the body rectangle. Wait for it to dry.

Glue the second body rectangle on top of the first with the wings sandwiched between them.

Glue the craft stick at the front of the body, then slide a paperclip over the front end. Slide a second paperclip over the first. Wait for it to dry.

Make a half-inch cut in the back end. Glue the second four-inch rectangle into the slot.

Let dry and FLY!

Watch me build and fly my airplane here.
