Up, up and away! This DIY airplane swing could be one of the coolest things to build for your kids!
This would be a great DIY gift that only requires $30-40 from your wallet, depending on the available materials that you have. If you’ve got a 3- to 6-year-old, why not make them their own airplane?
Swurfer is great for improving core body strength, balance, and toning leg and arm muscles; It's so much fun, you won't even realize what a workout you're getting!
Not comfortable with the airplane swing idea? How about building a rocking airplane instead? Simply use a wider wood for the body and shape it accordingly into a rocking chair!
