Jumping Minions

The boys really love Despicable Me, as do I - especially the Minions, so this was a perfect craft!

This was not a difficult activity but the boys absolutely loved it - more than expected.

You only need a few items -  some plastic/paper cups, elastic bands, glue and coloured paper.



You cut out the shapes and stick on the clothes...





Then add finishing touches with pen



Once you are happy with it you thread an elastic band through the top of a cup



And then stick your minion on...



(Olly is on the left, me in the middle and Thomas on the right)

You then push them down over another upside down cup and let go - they fly up!



It took me a lot of photos to get a good action shot - not sure I actually got there!

We all played with these for ages, seeing how high we could get them - great fun!

If you ever try any of the things on this blog,  I'd love to hear how it goes!

As always thanks for getting this far!
