FINGER BOOMERANG INSTRUCTIONS

(Children may need an adult to assist them and make sure that scissors are used safely.)

1. First download the patterns
download the finger boomerang images here

2. Print the pictures on to standard A4 thick photo paper or on to standard paper (Making sure the images are set to A4 size. If you print to standard paper, glue the print outs onto thin card so the flyers will have some stiffness.

3. Simply cut out the finger boomerangs.

4. To Fly your finger boomerangs:

* Make a fist (This is your 'launch pad'.) and place the flyer on the top, image up.
* Make sure one wing is slightly over the 'launch pad'
* Then using your other hand flick with your finger.

Watch how the flyer will float off and then return like magic!
If you practice alot you may be able to land your finger boomerang back on your 'launch pad'.
