Consider building a Squirrel. It just needs tissue paper and balsa.

Here's what a Squirrel looks like:

Balsa wood can be purchased locally at any hobby store or craft store.

Similar stores may carry propellers and the good elastic bands to use for wind up.

If you cannot get the propellers, there is a writeup on how to make one out of a Coke bottle at http://www.rubber-power.com:

Also for the propeller, you can try:

take the vortex part of the tip of a pen off.
get a paper clip (meta kind :P)
to make a prop. take two strips of balsa. put them at angle of choice, and slide the straight paper clip through it to form an x of some sort. now glue it together and you cover with tissue paper! and you have a homemade prop!!
i am Andrew Bradford, creator of the homemade prop specified above. it works out great if tampered with enough
