Flying Saucer
Instructions to make a home made flying saucer from paper plates.

Materials Needed:
  • 2 Paper Plates
  • Paint, Crayons, or Markers
  • Stapler
  • String or yarn - about 16 inches
Instructions:
Decorate the bottom sides of both paper plates to look like a flying saucer. With an adult's help, poke a small hole in the center of the paper plate that will be the top half of the flying saucer. String the thread through the hole, the longest part of the string will hang out the bottom side of the paper plate. Tie the string and use a piece of tape or a staple to keep it in place. Staple both paper plates together so the bottom sides you decorated are facing out. You now have your very own flying saucer you can play with or hang up!
