Paper plates always turn into frisbees around here so we figured why not do it on purpose for once 😉
The boys first put one together by stacking two plates face to face and stapling in a few spots on the edge.
We wrapped some duct tape around to secure the plates more and protect against paper and/or staple cuts.
I suggested making another one with the middle cut out.
We protected the edges of this one with duct tape as well.
After some testing the boys decided that the one with the hole cut out flew better outside because the wind couldn’t grab onto it as much.
After some practice, they were able to fly them about the same inside.
We are in the second week of Summer Camp Matherial Themed Weeks! This week is paper plate week where we’ll share an activity using paper plates each day. If you have an activitiy please share it here or on our Facebook page! We’ll try and do a round up at the end of each week.

I've just been looking at paper plate frisbees in a kids' activity book – they cut the holes in each plate, before stapling them together. It makes the hole uneven, but easier to cut. Your addition of tape around the edges is genius!
