Woosh! Design your own superhero and watch it soar through the air.
What You’ll Need:
- Construction paper
- One piece of lightweight paper, such as computer printer paper
- Markers
- Scissors
- Tape
- Plastic drinking straw
- Stickers, glitter, other craft items to decorate your superhero
Instructions:
- Step 1: Use the construction paper to draw an outline of a superhero (younger children might need an adult’s help). Use the markers and craft items to color and decorate your superhero.
- Step 2: Cut out the superhero figure and cut out a two inch by two-inch square from the lightweight paper.
- Step 3: Bend and wrap the two-inch square paper around one of the ends of the straw to create a “cap” (see photo above) that you can attach your superhero to in the next step.
- Step 4: Gently tape your superhero cutout to the “cap” you just created on the one end of the straw.
- Step 5: Blow through the open end of the straw to watch your superhero fly! Experiment with different size breaths to see how far your superhero flies.
