How to Make a Four-Pronged Boomerang Out of Cardboard

Making a four-pronged boomerang out of cardboard can be done with a few simple steps and only a few materials. It is a fun project to make with kids, and they actually fly when completed. By using a four-pronged boomerang template, the job can go much quicker. When the boomerang is thrown up and away from you at a 45-degree angle, it will come right back to you.

Things You'll Need

Cardboard from a cereal box
Piece of paper
Scissors
Pencil or pen
Decorating materials such as markers, glitter glue, and crayons

Instructions

- 1
  Draw a four-pronged boomerang using a template and the pencil or pen on a piece of regular paper. Cut this boomerang shape out using the scissors.
- 2
  Take the piece of cardboard from the cereal box and lay it down so the brown part is facing toward you on a flat surface. Set the paper template onto the box and trace the shape from the paper onto the cardboard.

  Cut the boomerang from the cardboard using scissors, and fold the corners of the boomerang a couple of times to curve them inward slightly up to a 30-degree angle.
- 4
  Decorate the boomerang using markers, crayons, and glitter glue to your preference. Use the boomerang outside and have fun.
