FLIGHT OF FANCY

Let your child’s imagination soar with a pair of pretty poster board wings she can decorate herself.

you will need

• Tempera paint and brushes • 1 sheet (22- by 28-inch) white poster board • 1 sheet (22- by 28-inch) colored poster board • Glue stick • Clear packing tape • Hole punch • 2 (10-inch) lengths of ⅝-inch-wide fold-over elastic

1. Have your child paint the white poster board. Let the paint dry. 2. Fold the colored poster board in half lengthwise, then draw a rough B shape, using the fold as the flat side of the B (ours measured 12 by 18 inches). Cut out the shape and unfold the wings. 3. Trace the wings onto the back of the painting. Draw a line about ½ inch in from the tracing, then cut out the shape along that line. Glue the pieces together and let them dry. 4. Hold the wings up to your child’s back and draw a light pencil mark just above each shoulder, then add a second mark about 3 inches below. For extra durability, adhere clear packing tape over each of the pencil marks, then punch holes through them. 5. Knot an end of one length of the elastic. Starting from the back, thread the other end through the bottom hole and out the top. Securely knot the end and trim any excess. Repeat with the other side.
