Straw Airplane

The other day my daughter, Raya, enjoyed watching a piece of paper blow away from the wind of a fan, so I thought how much more fun would it be to play with a paper airplane?? This paper airplane design is much simpler to make for a preschooler than the traditional paper airplane and it flies just as well! 

Here's instructions on how to make a straw airplane. 

Supplies Needed:
- paper
- scissors
- paint / markers / stickers
- straw

Cut two strips of paper 1" in width. The first strip should be 10" long and the second strip 5" long. 

Decorate them anyway you like! My daughter loves to paint so she painted hers, but you can colour and/or add stickers as well. 

Then tape the ends of each strip together to create a circle.

Once both circles are made, use a piece of tape to secure the end of the straw to the large circle. Repeat this step for the small circle, securing it to the opposite end of the straw. 

Ready for take off!
