Transportation Tuesday- Airplane Craft and Activity

I have been wanting to try this classic airplane craft with the boys for some time.  We finally had the chance to make them. It ended up just me and big brother making them but this is a great toddler craft too.  

What we used:

clothespins, paint & mini popscicle sticks (that craftprojectideas sent us), paint brush, paper plate, and glue.

What we did:

I gave my son (4.5 yr) a plate with paint and a brush.  He painted the clothespins and popscicle sticks for us.  I went back once dried and added an extra coat.  You dont have to but I thought they could use it.  Once dried for the last time he came and glued the wings (mini popscilce sticks) on the plane bodies(clothespins).  We left them so the glue could dry.

Now we have fun and bright colored clothespin airplanes.  They can play with them or we can use them to clip anything we would with a plain clothes pin.
