Craft: airplane with cardboard box

Plane with cardboard box

Planes next to cars is one of the toys that children love the most. The normal thing is that they play with their small planes and cars made of wood, plastic or metal, but many are not satisfied with it and ask for a large plane or car of great measure.

In the market there are large cars and planes for the little ones, but these are quite expensive and dads can't afford it. Therefore, today we present this beautiful craft that as soon as they see it on their bed they will jump for joy.

With this kind of craft we will make children value their toys even more and, in addition, we will promote recycling in them to make creations like these. In this way, we can make children unleash their imaginations by creating play situations that favor the family bond.

Materials

  • Large cardboard box.
  • Tape or tape.
  • Scissors.
  • Black marker.

Our Process

First, we will very carefully cut the 4 cardboard box flaps. Then, on the longest sides, we will cut a semicircle of little thickness, to give it the typical oval shape of airplanes. By cutting one side, it will serve as a template for the other, so they will be totally exact.

In addition, to take advantage of this template we will also use it to make the propellers of the plane itself. And, to continue taking advantage, we will take the flaps of the box to make the other pieces, such as the side and rear wings, as well as the vertical one of the latter. Take a good look at the pieces to be edged.

Then we will do two incisions on the sides of the box to introduce the lateral fins and we will do the same with the rear one, fitting it with its vertical.

Finally, there is only paint the details with the marker, insert each piece in its place and glue each piece with the tape. In the front part we will make a circle that we will paint to perfectly join the two propellers.
