Time to share a little airplane craft idea. These craft stick airplanes are super easy and fun for kids to make. This airplane craft brings back the nostalgia of the good old days. It’s a simple popsicle stick craft that kids in a hospital, scout troop, or a school can make, and it can be used as a photo holder too if you attach a magnet.
FOR THIS AIRPLANE CRAFT YOU WILL NEED:
Mini craft sticks (about half the size of the large ones)
Small wooden beads
Wooden clothes pins
Markers
Glue (we used Elmer’s glue, and although it works fine, a stronger glue would be better if you have impatient kids. A glue gun would work too, depending on your situation).
Each airplane needs:
2 large craft sticks
2 mini craft sticks
1 small wooden bead
1 clothes pin
Let's begin to make a lovely airplane.
1. Color the craft sticks and clothes pin with your markers.
2. Place a dot of glue in the middle of the 2 large craft sticks. Place the sticks on the top and the bottom of the clothes pin as shown above for wings.
3. After the wings are dry, glue a mini craft stick on the back for the tail. Then glue a wooden bead onto the middle of another mini craft stick for the propeller and let it dry.
4. Stand the plane up and glue the propeller on the top opening of the clothes pin. You may have to hold it in place for a bit until it dries. This is where the fast-drying glue would be awesome.
