10 Minute Toys

10 Minute Toys
Who doesn't love toys? I know I do! Toys are so much fun, especially making them! Here I have
collected a couple of toys I have learned to make over the years, and will teach you to make them too!
Most of them take only 5-10 minuets.

Step 1#1 Boomerang

#1 Boomerang
Boomerangs are always fun. The science on how they come back to you is fascinating too.
They can be made very easily and very cheapily.

Materials
*Cardboard (about 1 cm width should work)
*stickers (optional)
*Spray paint (optional)

Tools
*Scissors or knife
*Ruler
*pen or pencil


Step one
Choose a design. The designs I find useful are the cross and the Y (as I call them). The Y is the one I made in the pictures. It flies farther but does not come back as much. The cross is simply a cross. It is harder to make but it comes back more like an actual boomerang. Both are terrific designs but I prefer the Y.

Sketch it out on the cardboard. Each wing should be about 4 or 5 inches long but no longer. I think the most important part of the sketching is on the position of the wings, because that decides if it will fly well or not. Spread them apart equally.

Step two
Use the sissors/knife to cut out the design. 

Step Three
Spray paint it if you want and add stickers.Once youv'e done this, your done! (For throwing, you should grip it like in the last picture and throw it sidearm) also see movie to see how it flies.
