Pool Noodle Planes

“Make something Monday”

|

Today for Make something Monday my older three are gone at camp so I thought the littles would really like these pool noodle planes.

I found these somewhere on Pinterest and they looked easy enough for kids to make.(they were not) We must have royally messed up somehow cuz these planes suck!

Hear me out….

Maybe there is a better way to do this, because I struggled. I just guessed on the shape of the wings. Then, I just eyeballed the right spot to glue the wings. It was pretty dangerous cuz the kids wanted to use the hot glue gun and my hand aches from cutting all that cardboard. Then the kids really wanted to paint the wings so that was a little messy too.

When it comes to aerodynamics I’m a dummy, that’s why the planes didn’t fly so well. The 7-yr-old had one great flight however, but his landed on the roof! The kids had a good time making them but I’m pretty sure they will never play with them again. We will chalk this up as a fun experience and something to laugh at today.

From our family to yours, we CHALLENGE you to make this craft work. Message me and I’d love to see your success or laugh at your failures!

P.S. Since we got all these boxes for our craft now we can play spaceship for days!

~Love Rach~
