Here’s all kinds of fun crafts for kids to make that really fly! You can turn these crafts into STEM activities by challenging children to make modifications in order to adjust the speed, direction, or distance of their homemade toys.
Follow our Science for Kids Pinterest board!
Crafts are fun to make, but crafts that can fly are even more fun! In this collection you’ll find activities suitable for preschoolers and on up and others that will require some adult assistance (making them a great family activity). You can simply build and play with your flying homemade toys, or use them in your next science lesson or STEM lesson!
