This idea was taken from the April 2009 edition of FamilyFun magazine. 

Even when we try our best to not use plastic bags, we still have some around the house.  This is a cute idea to reuse a plastic bag and make it into a toy for your little ones.  If you don’t have a paratrooper, use whatever type of figurine your kids do have lying around.

What you need:

• Plastic Bag
• Scissors
• Pipe Cleaners
• Plastic Action Figure or Doll

1. Enlarge the handles of a plastic shopping bag by trimming the bag’s sides, front, and back as shown. Fold two pipe cleaners in half and loop each around a handle of the bag. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaners around the shoulders of a sturdy plastic action figure or doll.
2. When your paratrooper’s ready to fly, fold the bag in half, grab the fold, and whip him up into the wild, blue yonder.
