Take your kids for a spin around the neighborhood with a toy gyrocopter. You can make one in five easy steps.
Tips
Your child can drop the finished gyrocopter from an
elevated spot, and it should spin to the ground.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| One sheet of plain paper
Pinking shears or scissors One paper clip | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Cut out a 6 1/2-inch-long by 1 1/2-inch-wide strip of paper. (Note: We found that using pinking shears made the gyrocopter fly better, but one cut out with ordinary scissors works well too.) |
| 2. |  Starting at the top, cut a 3-inch slit down through the
middle of the strip to create a pair of wings. |
| 3. | Fold the wings down in opposite directions from one another. |
| 4. | Attach a paper clip to the bottom of the strip for weight. |
