Alien Straw Shooters
by Claire Winlow (follow)
Watch out the aliens are coming
After weeks of glorious sunshine, the effect of hurricane Bertha dissipating over the Atlantic left me with two kids in need of entertainment on a very wet and rainy day in England. We made these little alien straw shooters.
Time: 15 minutes
Age: Under 5's, 5-10's
Level: Easy
Paper
Crayons
Straws
Sticky tape
Method
Start by drawing some aliens on lightweight paper. They need to be quite small as they will sit on the end of a straw.
Younger kids can draw their own or just scribble on paper and an adult can add features.
Cut out the aliens.
Make a little pocket from a piece of paper that will fit around the straw. Tape it together on 3 sides, leaving only one end open to pop over a straw.
Stick an alien to a paper pocket and slip over a straw.
Blow hard through the straw and watch the alien shoot off.
It doesn't have to be aliens, you could draw animals, insects or aeroplanes.
