How to Make a Balloon Airplane: Part 2

Video Transcript

"So we're going to take our plane and add a prop and even a teddy bear pilot. Showing you how we do that. First of all, I'm going to push all the air up the balloon. The reason being, I don't want a knotty end. I like a nice, round end. We take a basic bubble. That becomes the center. And I make three folds with this. One, two, three. And to let a little air out here. Deflate it, and tie it just below where we made the incision into the balloon. Now all we need to do is fix it onto the front of air plane. There's no set way of doing it, I'm just going to take it from the top and drop the excess into the body of the plane and out the other side. And I'll just fix it around one of the fold twists and back into the top there. You won't see that little bit there. Next, let's go to our teddy bear pilot. I made another teddy bear in another series. It was a full teddy bear. Right here we just need the teddy bear's body, face, and of course his hands. Because that's what he's flying the airplane with, his arms and his hands. Put his neck on and here comes his little arms. And I've just left a little bit there. When you slip him into there body of the airplane, that's all actually that you, need of the teddy bear. Now to fix him in place, bring the rest of the balloon up and wrap it around your fold twists of the prop. And in the same place as you put the prop, the yellow one, you can see it there; we're just to put the other one on top of it. And push it in with your finger. Push it down. Now if a child turns the plane upside down, teddy's going to stay in it. Next, I've just taken a basic clear balloon, you can use white or clear, and just wrapped it around my arm, tightly like a snake and put pressure on it. Kind of makes the curly shape. On a clear day, when you see airplanes in the sky, they do leave a white trail behind them. This is what it represents. I'm just fixing it to the tail end of the plane right there. Pull it out a little. It gives it movement for when it flies. The final part to our balloon is just taking a little balloon stick, and fixing it into the last remaining bit of space you've got behind the wheels here. And that gives the child a little stick to fly their airplane. Here it goes, whoosh! Aerodynamics!"
