Make a simple parachutist |
| Sandra's guide pages |

| You will need: * a plastic bag * 4 lengths of thread, each about 18 inches long * a weight (eg. a lump of blu-tak or a few paperclips) * a needle Instructions: 1. Use the needle to make a tiny hole in each corner of the bag. 2. Feed a piece of thread through each hole. 3. Tie all the lengths together (making sure the lengths are about even). 4. Attach your weight to the knot. 5. Stand on a chair to launch your parachutist. Hints: * If it falls too fast use a lighter weight * Make sure the strings are untangled before you launch! |
| Fundraising idea: make a slightly larger parachute for each girl from a man's cotton handkerchief and hold a "sponsored" teddy bear parachute jump. |
