Summer Straw Shooter Craft

May 9, 2017

Welcome back to another Red Ted Art Summer Craft for you. Today we have some fabulous little Boredom Busters – make your own Straw Shooter Craft – easy and quick to make and hours of fun for the kids. Sometimes known as Straw Blowers, or Rocket Blowers, these come in all sorts of designs. We have actually made a Bee Shooter Craft like the one today before, but it was so cute and fun we wanted to have another go. And THIS time, we collaborated with the wonderful YouTuber Doodles by Sarah, who shares an easy to follow Drawing Tutorial. So the kids can practice their drawing skills AND make this fabulous Paper Toy too. If the kids are looking for things to do when bored – simple indoor activities (or outdoor for that matter), then hopefully these Straw Shooters are just the thing for you. You can of course turn them into any designs from Rocket Straw Shooters, to Halloween Shooter Toys. Either way, they are easy and quick paper toys to make. Which you can enjoy as an indoor activity when bored, or outdoors (in fact, we first made them with friends whilst at a picnic!). Hooray for Easy Summer Games.
