Parachute Toys


Does your child dream about making something fly? Perhaps one of her favorite toys.

This activity will help you build a small parachute that she can use to create a skydiving team out of her toy collection.

This cool activity fosters children’s curiosity setting the foundations for what later they will know as Science.
