How To Make a Simple Flapping Pterodactyl Toy

How To Make a Simple Flapping Pterodactyl Toy
In this Instructable I'll show you how to make a simple, but quite pleasing toy.

It's a pteradactyl which flaps its wings as you move a straw up and down - this is based off something I saw at the Centre for Life in Newcastle, UK. A fine institution.

Things you will need:
Some paper
Something to colour your Pterodactyl in with
Some tape
A scissors
2 straws - they have to be of different widths so that one can fit inside the other
