Need something to keep the kids busy during half-term? How about trying to make paper aeroplanes? We are sharing four awesome tutorials for you!
School's out but learning is always in. My dear grandson will be in the first grade when school resumes. We were out playing on the sun porch when he and his sister wanted to swing . We have an entire swing set in the back yard but the like the one that hangs by the rafters of the pagoda. Since only one swing can be placed in this area they have to take turns. Of course, as siblings go, not one of them may have one extra minute on the swing so I had them look at the clock on the sun porch and told them what time they would switch out their turns on the swing. I had to tell them; "When the big hand is here it's time to switch." Later, I tried to teach them how to tell time on a real clock (not digital). Below is the clock I made for them to hang on the fridge. I hope this will help both my granddaughter and grandson with learning to tell time and I hope it will be useful for the little ones in your lives. All work and no play is no fun. I made flying fish, jellyfish in a bottle, and paper planes. I love making home-made toys for them. I cut them out on plane white card stock so they could decorate them. I'm going to make some sticker for the next time we make these planes. We learned it was best to cut out two plane bodies, glue them together then attach the wings. When time permits I'll share some more of our fun time Summer crafts and toys.They took their planes home so I didn't get a picture.

INSTANT PRINTABLE DOWNLOAD ...1924, Birds That Fly, Paper Toys.. ..Baltimore Oriole by Percy Pierce.. ...Paper Toy to Cut, Make, Collect... ........Fun Project with Kids............... From a March 1924 Indoor Pastimes magazine, I have scanned and cleaned up to bright white new freshness, this clever paper toy art. Fun to give to or play with your craft club, for classroom use, for party activity, collage and scrapbooking. How cute would these be printing in varying colors and make up as a mobile to decorate a kids room! Terrifc activity with kids, who will be surprised how much personal satisfaction they can get with hands on crafting, and a finished product in hand that they have actually done themselves. If they fly the bird to destruction, you can just print out another, and another for a whole flock of flying paper birds. You can immediately download and print out this page to use as many times as you like for your own enjoyment. However I ask that you respect my copyright to the restored image, and not resell it as a digital or print image. For some folks who have difficulty downloading, I have included a full sized un-restored scan of the original play page. You can Copy/Paste this into your own document and print. Size 2306 x 3329 pixels. SIZE: 8.5" x 11" 310 dpi, 2635 x 3410 pixels. Recommended: print out on good quality paper (like 70-80 lb cardstock or bristol) for best results in making a flying toy. YOUR copy will not have the watermarks, of course.
My brain was a bit stuck on projectiles last night after making the straw rockets, so I created another little activity for the girls to try out today as well. It was easy to make and a complete blast, and worked even better than I expected; the whole family got involved :-) My siblings and I used to play something similar with folded newspaper, except we used real slingshots! This would be a great game to play outside using tree branches, and I love the way it could be set up anywhere. I'll be adding it to our little bag of travel games I think! WE USED: * craft paper * texta/pen * scissors * glue * elastic * childrens table (could use any table or something entirely different!) Cut a large sheet of paper to a width of about 10cm (I used a piece of scrapbooking paper). Fold down your sheet making the folds about 5cm until you reach the end. You should have a rolled up piece of paper like this. Fold it in half as shown. Cut aeroplane shapes from contrasting paper (maybe get your child to decorate them for some extra fun) and glue the tails to the folded paper as shown. Make sure your aeroplanes are facing towards the 'folded' end, not the 'open' end. To make our launch pad I turned the girls craft table upside down and used two of the legs to tie across some thick elastic. Make sure it's tied very securely, you dont want it coming undone when it is pulled on. You could easily tie your elastic across the legs of a dining or kitchen table (right side up of course :-D) or the legs of a heavy chair. Tree branches outside would be fun too - be inventive! We put down a towel for Bubble to sit on and pretended the table was her pilot seat :-) Hold your aeroplane so that the elastic runs through the middle folded section as shown above. The open end should be facing your child with the elastic sandwiched in between and the folded end pointing forwards. The idea is that you pull back till the elastic is taut and then let go so that your plane is launched across the room. Bubble launching her aeroplanes. They shot all the way across the room and would have gone much further had we had more space! Daddy showed Bubble how to change her trajectory each time, so the planes shot up, down and straight depending on how they were angled when she let go. Although Squeak was too little to launch any planes herself she loved watching this activity and laughed at every single take off :-)
Look out Red Baron here are our favourite homemade flying devices to send budding pilots in to a tail spin and shoot to the sky.
