Today Boots and Dora joined the airborne rangers. We made their parachutes out of plastic grocery bags. You'll need a plastic bag, tape, scissors or rotary cutter, thread, a pen, and a toy that isn't afraid of heights. In this case, Boots volunteered.
Cut a square out of one of the sides of the bag.
Carefully, punch a hole in each corner with your pen.
Cut four equal lengths of thread, thread one in each corner, and tie into a knot.
Gather the thread, tie off a knot, and tape the tails of the thread to the back of your toy. Crumple up the parachute and place the toy on top...now launch it!
It may take a few tries before your toddler grasps the concept...they must go up, to come down.(Look at those little calves...haha!)
Twirling it back and forth is always fun.
And when everything becomes tangled, call for Mom.
