I just "Plane" love you!

When I was in the first grade, I experienced my first Valentines class party. I don't remember much about it, but I do remember getting one of these little airplanes from a boy in my class. I thought this was the coolest thing I had ever seen! An airplane made out of candy=best idea ever.

Here are instructions for you to make your own:
You will need:
*rubber bands
*lifesavers
*smarties
*Sticks of gum

1st: String the rubber band between two lifesavers. 2nd: Balance the smarties in the middle of the life savers.

3rd: Wrap the rubber band around a stick of gum. 4th: Add a message!

The kids loved this! Little hands need some help to make them, though. It's a lot of balancing with both hands!

One thing that kind of bothers me is that the lifesavers have to be unwrapped. I tried poking a hole in the plastic to wrap to string the rubber band through, but that didn't work very well. I think the best way would just be to use a glue gun to put it together. Can you think of a better idea? Leave a comment if you can!
