About This Project

Parachute toys are a fun way to learn about gravity while using up some spare supplies around the house! Create your own pipe cleaner people with coffee filter parachutes that float gently through the air. You can color your parachute if you'd like (markers work best), or leave it white for a classic look. This engaging project combines physics learning with creative play as kids watch their parachute people drift down from high places!

Steps

Make a pipe cleaner person

First, you'll make a stick person from ONE fuzzy pipe cleaner. Twist a loop in the middle for his head, bend back both ends for the arms, twist those ends together for the torso, then what's left is legs. Feel free to bend up the very end for feet.
