Flying away

Samuel has been wanting to build a jet pack but, as I mentioned before, I'm not a rocket scientist so cardboard will have to do for now. We watched a show called Design Squad that shows kids making models of things and then building the real thing. The latest show was about a winged glider - so Samuel wanted to make one. Here is his prototype (no wings - just flintstone feet)- he even made it around the cul-de-sac a couple of times before he crashed. Lucy had her own version.
The buttons, bombs, steering wheel, etc.
