Popsicle Sticks Flying Saucers
These things fly surprisingly well and make a delightful tinkly noise when they land on a hard surface like a street
or a wood floor. They're so light that they don't do much damage to anything!
All you need is five popsicle sticks:
| 1. | Hold a single stick by one end between thumb and pointing finger. |
|
| 2. | Using your free hand, take two more sticks and slide their ends over the first stick so that they abut side by side. You should now be holding all three sticks between the thumb and pointing finger of one hand. |
|
| 3. | Using your free hand, take a fourth stick and weave it over the outer sticks and under the center stick. |
|
| 4. | Weave the last stick under the outer sticks and over the center stick. Your flying saucer should now be complete, with all five sticks locking into place. |
|
| 5. | Hold the saucer by one of the edges, then flip it to launch into the air. Enjoy the crash landing! |
