Materials: Manila file folder or Styrofoam to go container Scissors Pencil Pattern Instructions: Print the template. Cut out the pattern, & the hole in the center. Trace it on to a piece of Styrofoam or file folder.  Cut out the boomerang.

This pattern can be enlarged & used with other materials such as cardboard or Styrofoam to go containers or meat trays.

Throwing your Boomerang:

Hold one wing of the boomerang between your thumb & index finger. Keeping the boomerang vertical, impart a spinning motion to the boomerang as you throw it straight forward. The boomerang will travel straight out from you a few feet, circle, & come back. By the time it returns, it will be spinning in a level plane. Catch the boomerang by clapping it between your hands or thrusting your finger up the hole as it momentarily hovers. Try throwing the boomerang horizontally & observe its flight.

Tips:
Styrofoam food containers work great, center your pattern on one side, & cut. Using an exacto knife helps removing the center best.
