Let your imagination soar while you build your own aircraft! Choose your favourite… or make them all! Recommended for ages eight and up.
What you need
- A print out of the aircraft you wish to make (PDFs below)
- Crayons, pencil crayons, or markers
- Scotch tape
- Scissors
Make it
- Use crayons, pencil crayons, or markers to decorate the various pieces of your aircraft.
- Following the outer lines, carefully cut out all of the aircraft components.
- Start with the fuselage of the aircraft. Fold on the lines, so the resulting form has two sides, a top and bottom. Glue in place (you may want to use a small amount of tape to keep things in place while the glue dries).
- Carefully glue the fuselage to the wings, then glue on the tail.
