Take-out Container Airplanes

We've got another fun use for foam take-out containers. In a previous post, we made stamps. This time we're making airplanes!

First cut out the tops and bottoms out of the container so you have flat pieces.
The simplest way to make a symmetrical shape is to make a stencil out of paper. Cut the paper the same size as your foam piece and fold in half. Draw on half of your design then cut out.
You can then trace the stencil shape onto a foam piece.
Cut that piece out and then tape a dime or penny about an inch away from the plane's nose.
Cut two slits on each wing for the rudders.
Finally, to make a handle to grip onto the plane, fold the middle portion of a piece of tape then stick it to the middle of the plane. Now the plane is complete and ready to fly.
