Materials: 1 spring clothespin (3 long) 2 regular craft sticks (4½ long) 1 mini craft stick (2½ long) small piece of foam (1 x 1 square) Glue Markers Magnetic strip (2 piece and a ½ piece) Scissors Amazing Airplanes Instructions: 1. Color the clothespin and craft sticks the colors desired. You may want to give them contrasting colors or even make designs on them. 2. Glue one regular craft stick centered on the top front of the clothespin right above the hole in the clothespin. 3. Glue the other regular craft stick centered on the bottom front of the clothespin right below the hole in the clothespin. 4. Glue the mini craft stick to the back of the clothespin. 5. While the glue for the craft sticks dries, use the template to cut out the tail piece from foam for the airplane. 6. If you are turning the airplane into a refrigerator magnet, glue the magnet strip to the bottom of the airplane. The strip may need to be cut into two pieces (see sizes in the material list) and attached. 7. Glue the foam tail piece to the top of the mini craft stick with the curved edge facing the front of the plane.
Take Flight Closing Materials: None Cubmaster: It wasn t long ago that you might have heard one man say to another: The sky is the limit. He meant that a man could make anything of himself that he wanted, at least on earth. Well, the sky is no longer the limit! There s almost no limit to what you can aspire to do, either on earth or in space. What does that mean for Cub Scouts? Buzz Aldrin, the second man to step on the moon, told Scouts, Set your goals high and settle for nothing less than accomplishment, Aldrin said. This is great advice for all Cub Scouts that they try to always do their best in everything they do.
