Take flight! Make an airplane from a cardboard box for a simple and incredibly fun way to engage in imaginative play with your child.
Materials
Directions
Cut off the flaps from the top of the box.
Round the tops of two of the cut-off flaps to form wings.
Cut a slit in two opposite sides of the box. Insert the rounded wings into the slits on either side of the box.
Tape the end of the wing inside the box.
Cover a small plastic tub with duct tape.
Draw the shape of a propeller on one of the leftover cut-off box flaps, then cut it out.
Place the plastic tub facedown to trace a round shape on leftover cardboard. Cut it out.
Optional: Draw details on the wings and design the nose of your airplane.
Glue the propeller onto the tub.
Glue the round circle on top of the propeller.
Glue the propeller to the front of the box airplane.
Cut out a rectangle with a tab and a slit. Create a slit in the back of the box, then insert the rectangle into the box slit.
Cut out a right-angled trapezoid with a tab, then insert it into the rectangle's slit.
