Time to tinker! Wide blades, long blades, what weight is best? Try out several paper helicopter options then make a fun toy. Throw it up and watch as it helicopters down.

How does Virtual TinkerTime Work:
TinkerSpace staff will show a basic technique. You can then tinker with the idea and make something as simple or complex as you desire. We are choosing activities that are suitable for young children working with their parents, children ages 6+ working on their own, and for advanced crafters (up to adults) trying out techniques that might interest and inspire others.
