Master classes on creating helicopter models

We invite you to make several models of paper helicopters, from the simplest to the most complex three-dimensional crafts.
In the proposed master classes you will find diagrams that can be downloaded and printed, and detailed step-by-step instructions and photographs. A child can easily cope with our models independently or with the help of an adult. We have arranged the lessons in increasing complexity: from simple applications to complex 3D models.

Features of paper helicopters

DIY paper helicopters are made using different techniques.

• Models are made with maximum accuracy using templates. Cut out all the parts and glue them together.
• Simple versions are performed by children in creativity lessons in the form of helicopter applications, origami figures, and three-dimensional crafts.

Examples of ready-made crafts made from cardboard and paper

Origami paper helicopters are often assembled by adults and made into collections. To work, print the templates on a color printer. Children up to 3rd grade love to make paper appliqués in fine arts lessons. Flat models of helicopters can be hung on a thread and attached to a chandelier in a children's room or left as is for children's games. Below are examples of finished models.

Where is it used?

Paper helicopters are used at various events. Often used:

• in children's creativity classes;
• to congratulate boys on February 23;
• for decorating premises on May 9;
• for playing at home;
• at children's parties and competitions;
• for collecting models;
• at corporate events;
• at craft exhibitions in schools.

A paper helicopter will bring a lot of joy to a child; the manufacturing process is very exciting. Creativity helps develop children's imagination and geometric thinking.

A helicopter is flying above us, A pilot is sitting inside it, The helicopter is flying properly, So that the flight is stable. The helicopter does not have a wing, instead there are only two propellers. Not only can he fly, but even soar in the air. When it flies in the distance, it resembles a dragonfly. When he sits in the field, he looks like a fairy-tale bird. (G. Ronin) Objectives: to teach how to create a toy from a variety of waste materials; follow the sequence diagram for making a toy; cultivate a desire to take part in the overall work, achieving good quality crafts. Materials and tools: 1 Cocktail tubes 3-4 pcs 2 Plasticine 3 Carnations with a cap 2 pcs 4 Children's scissors with a sharp tip 5 Marker 6 Kinder surprise egg 7 Vitamin bottle 8 Stapler 9 Plasticine 10 Plastic bottle 11 paper knife

Purpose: the master class is intended for circle leaders; for children aged 6-9 years; for technology teachers, educators, parents; for creative people. Manufacturing sequence:

1. Using a marker, draw stripes 1 cm long at a distance of approximately 1.5 cm from each other on the side of the bottle.

2. Cut out the plastic in these places. You can use a paper knife. Performed by an adult! (This can be done in advance) This will be the underside of the future helicopter.

3. On the back of the bottle you need to pierce a small hole for the screw with a heated awl. We also pierce a hole for the screw on the Kinder Surprise egg - there will be only one hole on it. Performed by an adult! (This can be done in advance)

4. We poke a hole in the lid either with the end of scissors or with a heated awl. Performed by an adult! (This can be done in advance)

5. On the tube, mark 8 cm from the fold in one direction and 2 cm in the other. Cut it off and insert it into the hole on the lid. This is the tail of a helicopter. Insert the resulting piece into the hole in the lid

6. Divide the remaining piece of tube in half. We got 2 pieces of 3 cm each. They will make up the propeller of a small helicopter.

7. On two tubes we mark and cut off 9 cm from the fold in one direction and 2 cm in the other. These are helicopter skis. We will connect the 2 pieces remaining after cutting with a nail. This is the propeller of a large helicopter. 8. Cut a rectangle 10 cm long and 1 cm wide from a plastic bottle across it. We drag this strip through 2 holes in the bottle.

9. Use a stapler to attach curved pieces of tubes to it. The result is skis.

10. Attach the screw and tighten the lid with the inserted curved tube. The big helicopter is almost ready.

11. Insert the screw into the plastic egg.

12. Now we will make the remaining parts for the small helicopter. They will be made of plasticine. We took red plasticine. We rolled 2 sausages 2 cm long. They flattened them as shown. This is a screw for the tail of a small helicopter. We rolled green plasticine into a sausage 4 cm long and bent it. And they connected with each other. 13. We also made blanks for small helicopter skis from plasticine. Connected together. Attached to a plastic egg.

14. The front glass and side windows were painted on both helicopters with a marker.

The helicopters are ready!

flying helicopter

The first helicopter was released in the late 30s of the 20th century. The principle that formed the basis for its creation was drawn by Igor Sikorsky (the author of that very first model) from the sketches of Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings, compiled 500 years earlier. You can make a smaller copy of the great artist and inventor’s flying car from a sheet of cardboard or thick paper.

Required tools and materials:

Print or draw the template on a piece of cardstock

Cut the workpiece along solid lines and make folds along dotted lines: fragment A - towards you, fragment B - away from you.

Bend pieces C and D towards you so that they overlap each other.

Bend the base of the “leg” up and put a paper clip on it.

Rise higher and, holding the toy by the paperclip with two fingers, throw it as far forward as possible. Under the pressure of air currents, the blades will begin to rotate, dragging the body along with it and not allowing it to immediately fall to the floor.

First helicopter

Before you start making homemade devices, you need to figure out how this thing works, how it is designed, due to which it rises into the air.

The first helicopter was lifted into the air in 1907. For those who don't know, this happened 4 years after the first flights of the greatest inventors, the Wright brothers, in their homemade flying machine.

The helicopter was created by French sky lovers. The Breguet brothers gave their aircraft the name "gyroplane". He weighed about 578 kg. The gasoline engine had a power of 45 hp. With. The device was equipped with four main rotors with a diameter of 8.1 m. Also, 8 more blades were installed on each individual propeller. They were connected to each other in pairs. The helicopter also had four rotating biplane wings. Thus, the thrust of the flying structure was about 600 kg.

This is, one might say, a homemade helicopter. After all, they collected it from improvised means. As a result, he was able to rise 60 cm above the ground. The device hung above the surface for a minute.

The four-year difference between the invention of the airplane and the helicopter can only be explained by the complexity of the helicopter design.

Helicopter made of cardboard and plastic reel

This helicopter model will be an interesting toy for children, as it can also be launched into the air. By making it you will have an interesting time with the whole family.

• A square sheet of hard cardboard measuring approximately 20x20cm
• Lightweight plastic thread spool
• Nylon thread or thin fishing line
• Ruler and pencil
• Scissors

1. Cut out a propeller from cardboard as shown in the picture, maintaining the proportions. Dimensions in the drawing are given in inches, 1 inch = 2.5 cm.
2. Mark the dotted lines.
3. Glue the spool exactly to the center of the propeller.
4. Tie thread or fishing line to the reel. Wrap the spool with thread (15-16 turns will be enough).
5. When the glue is completely dry, bend the blades slightly down along the dotted lines.

To launch the helicopter, place the spool on a pencil, bring it to a vertical position and sharply pull the thread towards you.

Flying toy - homemade helicopter

Good day, dear readers of IzobretayKa! Today, you and I, using the materials available at home at home, will construct the simplest model of a helicopter (see also How to make a model of a helicopter from paper). This helicopter is capable of taking off to a height of several meters.

To make a helicopter we will need the following materials:

• a wooden spool of thread (you can find it in your grandmother’s box with sewing supplies);
• thick strong thread about 40 cm long;
• a round rod (you can use a round pencil or pen), the diameter should be slightly smaller than the hole in the spool;
• a piece of tin from a tin can;
• 2 cloves with a diameter of about 1 mm.

Making a homemade helicopter

We look at Fig. 1 and perform all the steps step by step.

Helicopter from a reel

We insert the rod into a wooden spool of thread. We attach the screw to the coil using pins - stops (nails with bitten off heads). In this case, the screw should be easy to put on and remove from the pins. We wind about ten turns of thread onto a wooden spool, to the end of which a handle in the form of a large button or wooden stick is attached.

When making a propeller, the blades should be made flat and symmetrical to each other. The propeller blades must be bent in opposite directions, at an angle of about 20 degrees relative to the original plane. The stops must be firmly driven into the coil “in place” - according to the holes previously made in the central area of ​​the screw (

Realistic three-dimensional model of a helicopter

The next model doesn't fly, but it looks more realistic than the previous two.

To make such a helicopter, you will need:

• Scheme here
• Scissors
• Glue
• Markers for coloring a helicopter

1. Print the template onto a piece of thick paper and cut out all the details. Please note that the blue lines do not imply any cuts, they are simply the outline of the doors and windows on the fuselage.
2. Color the toy pieces before gluing.
3. Fold fragments 3, 4 and 5 along the dotted lines.
4. Fragment 4 – propeller. Separate its blades and roll the base into a cylinder. Bend the corners outwards and glue to the fuselage roof when it is ready.
5. Fragments 3 and 5 make up the tail. Push it deep into the fuselage, otherwise the helicopter's center of gravity will be shifted and the structure will tilt backwards.
6. Glue the fuselage. Fold the corners of piece 2 and glue it to the curved edges of piece 1. Then fold and glue the rest of piece 1.

Craft Helicopter

Craft a helicopter from a plastic bottle for children.

To make a helicopter, you will need:

2 liter plastic milk bottles, 1 drinking water bottle cap, tape, stapler, toothpicks, cocktail straws, unnecessary felt-tip pen.

Making a helicopter main rotor

We take one of the bottles and cut off the top part along the “hangers”.

We also cut off the bottom of the bottle.

From the resulting workpiece we cut 4 strips - parts of the main rotor (or, simply put, the propeller on top of the helicopter). We place the workpieces in front of us with the convex side up.

We cut off rectangles on each part out of four with a height of 1/3 of the height of the main part, leaving a narrow protrusion 0.6-0.7 mm wide.

We flatten the resulting protrusions to form a “groove”. We place toothpicks in these “grooves” and wrap them with tape.

Cut the cocktail tube into pieces 2/3 the length of a toothpick. We put short tubes on toothpicks. This will give a neat look to the propeller blades.

We make 4 holes in the bottle cap using an awl or a thick needle. The holes should be of a diameter suitable for a toothpick.

We insert toothpicks with propeller blades into the holes. The helicopter's main rotor (propeller) is ready.

Making a propeller in the tail of a helicopter

From the remaining blank of the first plastic bottle, we cut 4 strips for the propeller in the tail of the helicopter, 1/3 the length of the strips for making the upper propeller.

Similarly, we cut out rectangles from the parts of the blades, leaving a “teeth”.

We flatten the “tooth” on each part of the blade into a groove.” Let's prepare a cross measuring 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm. (For the cross, you can purchase ready-made parts that are used when laying facing tiles or cut from a very dense material - plastic or cardboard). Cut short tubes from cocktail tubes with a length equal to the length of the “teeth” of the blade.

We put short tubes on the cross. We insert the propeller blades into the tubes. The propeller for the tail section of the helicopter is ready.

Attaching the propellers and final assembly of the helicopter

We take a second plastic bottle and two caps from such bottles.

We place the covers next to each other and make a through hole with a diameter suitable for a felt-tip pen. Insert a felt-tip pen into this hole. The covers can be secured to each other using tape.

Then we cut helicopter windows on both sides of the bottle.

Between the windows we cut a hole at the top for attaching the top screw.

We fasten the upper rotor of the helicopter.

We screw the cap with a felt-tip pen (the tail part of the helicopter) to the bottle.

At the end of the felt-tip pen we attach a small screw for the tail of the helicopter using tape.

The Helicopter craft is ready.

Step-by-step making of a paper helicopter

1. In order to make a paper helicopter, we need to divide a sheet of paper into 2 parts using scissors. One of the parts should be an even square. We don’t throw away the second part; it will serve as a blank for helicopter blades.
2. We bend the square along all fold lines so that the bent square forms 2 triangles, or rather 1 rhombus.
3. We bend the corners of the upper diamond closer to the middle. We bend the resulting small triangle from above with its tip into the middle and bend it back to its original position.

4. Open the inner side and bend the vertical lines towards the middle. We get 2 vertical and oblong triangles. We bend the figure in half and turn the craft over with the folded triangles facing down.
5. We do the same work with the other side of the helicopter so that we get the same figure as on the other side.

6. We mark for ourselves the fold line of the small triangle at the top and fold the tail along the fold line to the right side, bend it, and to the left side.

7. We do the same on the other side and get a figure similar to a rhombus with 2 wings.

8. We turn the figure horizontally and fold the lower triangle exactly in half - we get a diamond scan. We do the same with the upper triangle. Turn it over to the other side and bend the upper and lower triangles in the same way.
9. We bend the protruding wings in half and hide them inside the helicopter. The result is a figure with a small triangle on the right side. We bend the sides of the triangle inward on one side and the other. How to make a paper helicopter next? Just!

10. We bend the body of the helicopter along the fold lines of the small triangle.
11. We bend the resulting wing of 1 helicopter so that the size of the wing is reduced by half. We fold the wing in half and hide part of it inside the frame.
12. We straighten the second wing, bend the outermost 2 cm of the wing in half and in half again. The second wing turns into the tail of the helicopter.
13. Return the piece of paper and cut out 2 horizontal strips from it. We bend the strips in half, cut out a small triangle at the bend and attach it to wing number 1. We also cut out 1 more horizontal strip from paper, bend it in half, cut out a triangle at the bend and attach it to the protruding wing number 2. We get a paper and colored helicopter, which flies for a long time.

Origami technique

Origami is a Japanese art in which various things are created using paper. This art can surprise you with its techniques and capabilities.

You’re simply amazed at some of the unusual solutions that are used in origami, and how you can make a complex three-dimensional figurine of a flower or animal from a simple piece of paper.

This art today will help you make a helicopter out of paper.

The first thing you need to do is prepare everything you need for this, namely:

• ruler;
• scissors;
• pen or pencil;
• one A4 piece of paper.

Next we work according to the instructions:

1. We divide the sheet of paper so that we get an even, large square and rectangle.
2. The resulting square must be folded in half and diagonally in turn. Afterwards, for convenience, mark the bend lines.
3. It is necessary to put the sides of the square inside, thereby making a triangle out of it.
4. The side corners of the triangle are bent towards the center.
5. The corners of the folded side corners also need to be bent towards the center.
6. The upper part of the right edge is also bent to the right and returned to its original position.
7. After this, a pocket is formed from the bent corner, and the bent upper part is tucked into it.
8. The same actions need to be carried out with the other corner.
9. The workpiece is turned over to the second side, and exactly the same actions are performed with it as with the first.
10. Next, the workpiece is inflated through the hole, and as a result we get a cube.
11. The top edge of the cube is pressed down and folded inward. This will be the fuselage.
12. The rectangle that remains from the piece of paper must be folded in half lengthwise. Then cut it in half again, only across it. The upper part is bent and folded in half again, the same is done with the second side. It should be a screw.
13. The screw is inserted into the upper slot of the fuselage.

That's basically it, the helicopter is ready for various games.

Video instruction

How to make a paper helicopter? It’s easy to make a paper helicopter with your own hands, but a detailed video will help you achieve a better result, in which you will see all the stages of making a helicopter without glue, without using a paper clip or cardboard. You can learn how to make a toy military helicopter out of paper with your own hands.

So, you know how to make a paper helicopter with your own hands. This craft is not easy, but it does not require templates. Without spending a lot of A4 leaves, you can easily make an origami helicopter. The helicopter model is military, and it will fly for more than 1 minute. Modular folding origami will help you make a helicopter faster. If you have been wondering “How to make a helicopter out of paper?”, then this article will help you understand all the intricacies of this process. Have you already assembled an origami helicopter or plane? What diagram or template helped you create the helicopter and did it work out? Share this article with the readers in the comments.

How to make an airplane out of paper. Details about three different options

Besides just admiring the spinning helicopter, there are other ways to play with it. To do this, you need to make several helicopters of different colors (or paint them with different designs). To leave a comment, write the text in the box and select a profile from any of your accounts in the “Comment Signature”. In this video, a little boy assembles a paper airplane and comments on everything.

This is also quite easy to assemble, but a more advanced paper plane - the Russian T-50 fighter, which, among other things, also flies well. This flying plane will be an excellent homemade toy.

With proper skill, an airplane can fly. The American F15 fighter is a paper airplane model that is stunning in its beauty and detail. To assemble, you will need a rectangular sheet of A4 paper and a lot of perseverance. This video will teach you how to make another amazing paper craft - the iconic American stealth plane Stealth. As in the previous case, this invisible paper plane does not fly.

To assemble, you will need a square sheet of colored paper (preferably black or red) and scissors (they will help smooth out the seams). Parents' help is highly desirable. This toy airplane is considered the most common form of aerogami - it is one of the branches of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. The founder of the company needed to use this craft in the air in order to test his new ideas for the further design of real aircraft.

If you launch it hard, the super paper plane will perform various maneuvers. It’s even hard to imagine that an airplane with such an abundance of small parts is assembled from just one sheet of paper. For the work you will only need scissors, and the materials you will need are a file of helicopter blanks printed on paper and paper clips. Another fairly simple variation on the theme of the classic paper airplane. According to the instructions, even a child can make such a Far Flying Airplane with his own hands.

What materials are needed

If you are interested in how to make a helicopter out of paper that flies, then you need to purchase special materials for its manufacture. This:

• Thick paper. You can buy multi-colored sheets of A4 size, and then choose paper of a suitable color with your child. Usually just one sheet is enough to make a helicopter. If you can’t buy cardboard, you can use regular paper.
• Clip. With its help the lower part of the toy will be held. Under no circumstances should you glue parts together, as this will prevent the helicopter from flying.
• Pencil. It should be used to outline all the details. By the way, a regular pen may also work.

Where are they usually used?

Similar models of helicopters made of cardboard and paper are used at a variety of events. For example, these could be:

• children's parties or competitions;
• home games;
• an activity related to children's creativity;
• collecting various models;
• corporate events;
• congratulations to the boys on February 23rd;
• decorating a group or class for May 9th;
• school craft exhibitions.

A paper or cardboard helicopter will definitely please your child not only with the result. After all, the manufacturing process itself also brings a lot of pleasure! And besides, such creativity will help the baby develop not only imagination, but also geometric thinking.

Dimensions of the future toy

Many people are interested in how to make a helicopter out of paper, for which only one sheet of paper would be enough. Of course, in this case the paper toy will be very small. If you want to make it big, then you need to take whatman paper. However, it is best to do small helicopters with a child. If necessary, the A4 sheet needs to be shortened. You should end up with a rectangle measuring 3 cm wide and 14 cm long.

Airplane piggy bank

You will need: plastic bottle (0.5 l), colored paper, double-sided tape, pencil, scissors, ruler.

Master Class

1. Make a hole for coins in the center of the bottle in this way: make a rectangular slot 2 cm long and 0.5 cm wide.
2. Draw the body and tail of the plane in an "L" shape, then cut them out.
3. Glue 2 blanks to the bottle using double-sided tape, then cut a hole for coins.
4. Make engine stands in this way: draw 2 rectangles measuring 10x3cm on colored paper, roll them into tubes, then glue them to the bottom of the body on both sides.
5. Draw the airplane wings, cut them out, then glue them on.
6. Create a propeller: trace the cover onto the paper, then make a larger circle and draw the blades.
7. Cut out the propeller, place it on the neck of the bottle and close the lid.
8. Cut out 8 circles and glue them as windows on both sides.
9. Prepare 2 stripes and glue them onto the tail.

The piggy bank airplane made from a plastic bottle is ready! I recommend watching this video!

How to draw details

How to make a paper helicopter with your own hands? Yes, very simple. But first you need to prepare all its parts, which will later be fastened together. The main part is prepared as follows: you need to draw a line in the center of the sheet along the length and width, you will get two intersecting lines. It is these stripes that will indicate cuts and folds. Using them it will be easy to understand how to make a helicopter out of paper. In principle, you can do without it, but it will be much easier.

How to make a helicopter from a plastic bottle with your own hands

How to make a helicopter from a plastic bottle with your own hands, for children to play in the sandbox or just on the street with friends. This craft is made by adults, but it will only be used by children. This is a small toy made by hand, especially since you don’t need so many materials. As always, your imagination is important. You can make a lot of helicopters from bottles and thereby make an airfield for your child by adding paper airplanes. Naturally, the craft you make will not fly, but you can decorate it and make it bright.

We will need:

- Plastic bottle. - Three tubes. — A ping pong ball. — A carnation, preferably with a blue cap. - Scissors. - Stapler.

Final stages of work

Now you need to cut the sheet in two parts along the length of the paper. These cuts should be located cm below the first slits. After this, it is necessary to fold both lower sections towards the center, creating helicopter flaps. The central fold should be divided into two folds, which form the lower section of the toy. For secure fixation, you must use a paper clip. In addition, it will add a little weight to the toy, due to which the helicopter will not fly to the side due to the slightest gusts. It is not recommended to lubricate parts with glue, as this may prevent the device from flying. Then you can straighten the upper part (wings), after which the outline of the helicopter will be visible. Now you know how to make a helicopter out of paper. But that is not all. You need to check if it flies. If this does not happen, then something was done incorrectly.

Making a helicopter

Once all the tools necessary for making a helicopter have been prepared, you can safely begin drawing the bend lines. More experienced masters can do without this procedure, but for beginners it is necessary. Along these lines we will bend parts of the sheet, which will later help us create a paper helicopter with our own hands. So let's start learning the whole process from start to finish.

The first thing to do is to give the rectangular sheet a square shape. To do this, bend one of its corners diagonally so as to form a triangle. Then carefully cut off the remaining strip of paper, it will have the shape of a rectangle, and set it aside. Unbend the sheet and get an equilateral square. In this case, the folded part must be carefully smoothed out so that a clear straight line is obtained. A similar action is performed for the other part of the sheet. The result will be 2 diagonal lines intersecting in the center of the square.

Now move on to the next step. Bend the square in half to form a rectangle, and also carefully smooth it out. This must be done so that in the future it will be convenient to work with the sheet. Unfolding it again, you will find that all 3 lines are connected in the middle, and the shape of the sheet is slightly concave at the edges. By pressing them with your fingers, you will be able to press them in this direction, after which you will have a triangular figure in your hands.

The above process will need to be done on the other side, which has a triangular shape. As a result, you will end up with a product in your hands, on one side of which there will be a small hole. You will need to blow into it well so that the figure straightens and forms a cube.

One of its sides needs to be compressed and the edges glued together - this will be the cabin.

Now let's move on to making the tail section. We make it from a previously cut strip. We cut off a small part from it, about 2 cm wide, and then bend it in half and use scissors to give the remaining part the shape of a tail.

After this, you will have a figure with a part at the end that is bent upward. Its edges are unbent, forming small wings, and a third wing is cut out of a two-centimeter strip, which will be inserted inside the tail and fixed there with glue. The rest of the tail is also glued together, after which it is installed in the existing hole.

We will make legs for the helicopter from tubes. We cut one of them in half, and from the other we make 4 pieces of 1.5 cm each. To attach them to the body, we pierce the long tubes with a pin, stepping back a little from the edges, and put small jumpers on it. Skis are ready for installation.

The propeller will also be made from the tubes. To do this, cut one of them in half again, cross them, pierce them with a pin and place them on the top of the figure. If there are no tubes, you can make these parts from paper.

In fact, making a helicopter out of paper is not that difficult. Moreover, there are step-by-step instructions available, in which everything is described down to the smallest detail. By following it, you can easily understand how to make an origami helicopter at home.

What to do if the helicopter does not fly

If the helicopter does not fly, then it is unlikely to be corrected. The only option is to make a new one. But before you start creating it, you need to determine why the first toy did not fly. When a helicopter flies, it is pushed by air in the opposite direction, so the blades begin to move up and down. It is for this purpose that the spinner consists of two blades, each of which should receive the same push in different directions. This is what makes the toy fly. If this does not happen, then the toy was created incorrectly. Therefore, you need to determine what exactly is wrong with it.

Perhaps the wings turned out to be different sizes, so one of the sides receives a greater load, which is why the helicopter is pulled down. As a rule, it falls on one side. If the rotor blades are of different sizes, then it will not spin, so the helicopter will fall vertically. It may also fail to fly due to the fact that glue was used during the work process. The parts glued together will have a smaller area of ​​contact with the air, so this will pull the toy down. But even the worst helicopter can fly if you take it outside in windy weather.

Now you have learned how you can make a helicopter at home with your child. Of course, the baby should only participate in the work, and all the main stages rest on the shoulders of the adult. If you entrust all the work to a child, the device is unlikely to fly, which is why he will be upset.

DIY airplane

Toy planes and helicopters have always been a weakness, both for little boys and for established men. Creating an airplane with your own hands not only helps the baby get closer to his parents, but also helps to unleash the child’s creative potential. This kind of work is, of course, a creative process.

What shape will the wings and tail be, how to decorate the skin of the plane, whether to make windows - your child will find the answer to all these questions. However, since we will have to work with a stationery knife, take special safety measures so that the child does not accidentally get hurt during your work.

For work, it is better to use bottles made of softer material - they are easier to cut.

Materials and tools:

• Scissors • Colored paper (preferably colored on both sides) • Glue stick (ideally colored, becoming colorless after drying) • Felt pen • Scissors • Stationery knife • 2 small and one large bottles of drinking yogurt Cash costs: 30-40 rubles

Time required: 15-20 minutes.

Stages of work:

Take the yogurt bottles and wash them well, remove the promotional label.

Take a large one and use a utility knife to cut off the neck and bottom.

Make a vertical cut along the entire bottle.

From the resulting material you can make wings for 2-3 airplanes, decide with your child on the shape and size of the wings and cut them out with scissors, try to make the wings symmetrical.

On the small bottle, mark the cut line through which the wings will be installed. The length should be equal to the maximum width of the wing. It is convenient to orient it relative to the factory seam (it is on every bottle).

Draw a second cut line, symmetrical to the first.

Carefully make cuts using a utility knife.

We wash the bottles, both inside and outside (it’s easier to insert wings into a wet bottle).

We insert the wing into one of the holes, holding it through the neck, push it into the second hole and pull it out until it is symmetrical with respect to the back of the aircraft.

We make a tail from a small piece of a bottle (ask your child for questions about shape and size).

We make small grooves near the side of the “tail” that will be inserted into the plane so that the tail does not fall out.

We make a cut on the back of the plane equal in size to the tail section minus the size of the grooves.

We insert the tail and align it with the back of the plane and the wings.

Now you can decorate your plane using colored paper and a glue stick.

Modular fire helicopter

To create a helicopter you will need 1600 triangular modules 4x6 cm.

Assembly diagram:

1. Rows 1 and 3 – close 6 modules each into a ring.
2. 4-5 row – 12 modules each.
3. Turn the workpiece inside out.
4. Rows 6-10 – 24 modules each.
5. 11th row – 14 modules on the short side (upper part), 10 on the long side (lower part).

6. 12-13 row – 24 pcs.
7. Row 14 – 32 modules.
8. Rows 15-31 – 32 modules each.
9. From the 33rd row the narrowing begins. The top of the helicopter is 20 modules, the bottom is 8 (1 per 3 ends). There are a total of 28 pieces in row 33.
10. Up to 39, gradually narrow down to 22 modules.

11. Tail – 20 rows: 1 – 10 pcs, 2 – 9 pcs, 3 – 10, 4 – 9, 5 – 10, 6 – 9, 7 – 10, 8 – 9, 9 – 9, 10-12 – 8, 13 – 7, 14 – 6, 15 – 5, 16 – 6, 17 – 5, 18 – 4, 19 – 3, 20 – 2.
12. The runners are made according to the 2-3-2 pattern. The length is arbitrary.
13. Screw – 4 parts of 18 modules each with a snake. Glue them together.

14. Connect all the parts.

To keep the helicopter standing for a long time, coat all weak points with glue. The connection point with the propeller, runners, and the tail section should be strengthened.
