This idea came from the book Family Fun Crafts based on ideas in the Family Fun magazine. This paper dove used basic materials we already had in the house. Ty was very interested in making it fly...and it kind of worked! I liked that there was a little more to it than a paper airplane but it still flew!
Here's what you need...
- Paper plate
- 2 plastic spoons
- Pebble (Ty had carefully selected one while waiting for the Truck Parade earlier in the week)
- Rubber band
- Masking tape
- Colored markers
- Cut the paper plate in half. Then, cut one of the halves into three equal wedges. (Ty still isn't eager to cut things apart so I did this.)
2. Tape one wedge to the bottom of the half of the paper plate that is still intact to form the dove's tail feathers.
3. Sandwich the pebble between the spoon bowls, then bind the spoons with the rubber band. (We did secure the pebble with some tape, otherwise it would have fallen out.)
5. Use the markers to create a face for your dove.
6. Fly the dove by throwing it like a paper airplane.
