DIY Wooden Airplanes
National Aviation Day is Aug. 19. What better way to celebrate than to make a bunch of these super easy and cheap little airplanes? These are easy to customize for your kiddos’ preferences using paint, stickers, pom poms or anything you can think of!
Supplies:
- Any size wooden clothes pins
- Any size Popsicle sticks, 4 total
- Glue
- Any additional items to customize, such as paint or stickers
Directions:
- Line up two Popsicle sticks and place a small amount of glue in the middle of each stick. If using two different sizes of sticks, use the larger ones as the front wings.
- Place the clothes pin on the glue and let set for a minute.
- Place a dot of glue on the top of the clothes pin and set the remaining two Popsicle sticks on top of the clothes pin. Allow to dry.
- Decorate however you see fit!
- Feel free to make additional airplanes for friends!
