Using two Styrofoam cups you can make a nice helicopter. You will need two cups, color tape and a cutter. First cut the base of one cup. Then cut this baseless cup into 4 equal sections. Make four petals as shown. 

Remove the rim from the base of the second cup. Make the base flat. Now with the help of a double-sided tape stick the four petals to the base. They will form the wings of the helicopter. After fixing the wings give them a little twist. This will convert them into blades and will help the helicopter fly. In the end decorate the helicopter with color tape. Throw it from the top floor and the helicopter will come down spinning. It is great fun for children to make and play with this helicopter.
