You will need
Wooden lolly sticks or small crafts sticks
Hot glue
Wooden clothes pegs
Scissors
Paint, glitter and felt tips to decorate

Instructions

1. For younger sections, start by asking them to carefully glue the underside of the opening end of the clothes peg to the centre of a small craft stick. Then glue another craft stick on the top side of the clothes peg, making sure it lines up neatly with the lower craft stick.
2. Next, ask them to use scissors to cut one craft stick in half and trim each half down to look like a miniature craft stick. Now they can stick one of these to the underside of the opposite end of the clothes peg, and another to the top side.
3. Ask them to cut 1cm from the end of another craft stick at a slight angle. This will act as their tail fin and should be glued to the top of upper small craft stick. Now they can decorate their planes!
