Gliders are fun, small planes, that you are usually made out of thin styrofoam or wood. Card Board Gliders on the other hand are a bit more strong than styrofoam, but heavier. Using regular old shoe boxes, waffle boxes, and other card board boxes that you might just throw away. They're a great way to recycle and have fun at the same time, great as a project for all ages.

Basically used a diamond shaped bit of cardboard, put a plasticene weight on the nose, attached some string ; but the cool part [ which I forget :) ] was something you did so when you twirled it around in a circle above you head it made a noise !
This was a very basic toy/design for 7,8 yr olds - anyone got any ideas what Im talking about ?
Thanks
