What you need for this ZOOMdo:
  • piece of 8 1/2" by 11"paper
  • paper clip
  • scissors
 
 
What you do for this ZOOMdo:

  1. To start, take your piece of paper and fold it in half the long way. Then open it back up. The fold should have made a line down the middle of the paper.
  2. Now fold the top corners of the paper in towards the middle so you have two triangles at the top.
  3. Now fold the left triangle in half, in towards the middle.
  4. Fold the right triangle in half towards the middle.
  5. Fold the left triangle in half again.
  6. Do the same thing to the right triangle.
  7. Then, fold the plane in half. Flip it over and open up the wings.
  8. Cut a flap on the end of each of the wings. Bend one flap so it's facing up, and bend the other flap so it's facing down.
  9. Add a paper clip to the bottom of the plane.
  10. Now throw it hard. It should spin really well.
