Introducing oatmeal can airports! I thought we'd wrap oatmeal cans with the airport art created last week, and make Q-tip airplanes to put inside, only the Q-tip airplanes I tried to make were a flop and didn't even fly, yikes, so much for that! But the boys didn't complain and made airplanes that don't fly, and we folded some origami ones as well, so it all worked out just fine in the end.
And so, this sweet oatmeal can craft with an airport theme, made by a group of 9 year old boys became much more sculptural than my original idea as the boys decided that the can needed embellishment with Q-tip airplanes, flags and airport signs! And truly, worrying about perfect results is not the point, and so any cans that were a bit roughly made, well that is just fine, the emphasis is on the making of the project and enjoying the creative process!
- airport themed drawings, we used Ed Emberly diagrams
- oatmeal cans with tops
- q-tips
- card stock, strips of color paper
- hot glue, a glue stick, high tack craft glue
How To:
Glue strip you've covered in airport themed drawings to the can. Make airplanes with Q-tips and card stock. Make airport signs if desired. Glue it all together!
