How to make a paper clapper

So, how to make a paper clapper?
Very simple. Here are the instructions in pictures:

Take a piece of paper.

Bend the corners of the leaf inward (follow the drawing on the sheet, it shows both the fold lines and its direction - with the help of arrows).

Now you need to fold the leaf strictly in the center. Then fold the leaf in half along this "seam".

The next step is another fold, now in the center of the resulting structure.

The result: a flattened "airplane". Both "wings" of our future clapper should be neatly folded inwards. Fold the side seams well. Important: the paper should not go too deep and bend there, otherwise the clapper will not work.

That's it. The double clapper is taken by the tip, after which the hand should be shaken sharply away from you - and it goes bang.

If you don't have time, you can make simple white clappers (or colored ones, if you use colored paper for children's art). But you can make your clapper much more interesting by using a little imagination. With the help of paints, felt-tip pens or pencils from a simple clapper can create a shark, airplane, gun and many other fighting things that are so fond of boys.
