Prepare for take off with this recycled craft! Kids are guaranteed some high flying fun when they make a jetpack with this project. Just look around for some empty soda bottles and you’ll have a blast of a time. This is also a fun way to teach children about recylcing and putting old things to use.

Make a Jetpack {with Recycled Materials}

1. The first three steps are for the adult to do: Cut a square piece of corrugated cardboard approximately 8 inches by 8 inches. This is the base onto which you will staple the shoulder straps and tape the jets. It should be small enough not to be seen behind two soda bottles lying side-by-side.

2. Cut two strips of felt, long enough to be shoulder straps so that your child can comfortably wear his jetpack. Make each strap approximately 1 inch wide.

3. Staple these straps onto the top and bottom of the corrugated cardboard square.
