Hi everyone, it’s Freckled Face number 1. The other day I had an idea of making an aeroplane from one of mum’s wooden pegs. I had a lot of fun doing it and I was really happy with how it looked.
You will need:
A wooden peg
Two lolly pop sticks
Hot glue gun or wood glue
Something to colour with – I used felt tip pens
Pencil
First
Colour in the lolly pop sticks and the peg with the design you want to do. You can turn your hot glue gun on now too, so it can heat up ready for you to use it.
Second
When you are happy with the design you need to figure out where abouts you want to glue your lolly pop sticks on. I glued one at the bottom and one at the top, both parallel to eachother. I put mine just in front of the spring it, but you might want them closer to the front. It’s up to you! When you have decided where you want to glue the lolly pop sticks, you need to put a little mark there with your pencil. Don’t make it too big or dark.
Thirdly
Put a little bit of glue, whichever glue you decided to use, on one of the pencil mark you made and the put the lolly pop stick on top and hold it down for a few seconds. You then need to turn the peg over and do the same with the other pencil mark and lolly pop stick.
Finally
Wait for the glue to dry and…..voila! You have a peg plane!
Thanks for reading!

It was simple enough for a 10 year old to by himself, and he loved it and was really proud of it afterwards!
