Straw Paper Airplanes

Materials

• Construction paper

• Straw

• Tape

• Scissors

Directions

1. Cut two strips of paper — one longer and thicker than the other.

2. Make a loop with each strip and use tape to secure.

3. The larger strip will be the rear of the plane. Apply a bit of tape to your straw and attach the straw inside your rear circle. Smooth the tape down so the straw is kept firmly in place.

4. Tape the smaller circle to the front of the straw, making sure the smaller circle is in line with larger circle.

5. Hold the straw so that the small circle is forward and both circles are on top of the straw & get flying!
