You can have a lot of fun making your own paper helicopter. Click ON THE PICTURE to download your own paper helicopter. You will need to follow the easy instructions to make it. Be sure to colour in and decorate your paper helicopter BEFORE you cut it out. TEST your helicopter safely, to see if it flys. You could make a second one and have races. What can you do to the second paper helicopter to make it go faster? You could add a paper clip to the tail to help it stay upright. Bring your paper helicopter to school after the holidays to show your class mates what you have made. Good luck!
