THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

  • 8 1/2" x 11" paper (approx.)

 

OPTIONAL:

  • cellophane tape
  • paints
  • markers
  • crayons
  • cardboard box
  • thread spools
  • cardboard roll from paper towel or bathroom tissue
  • cardboard
  • scissors

Take an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper and fold it in half, lengthwise.

Fold 2

Fold down the front two corners, toward the inside of the plane - making the edge of the paper meet the fold.

Fold 3

Fold down the sides again, making the edges of the fold meet each other in the center.

Fold 4

Fold the sides in again, one more time. And...

Flying Plane

Volia!

To make your airplanes really special, you can paint a picture on the paper before you fold it...


A SPECIAL IDEA: Consider making an entire fleet of decorated airplanes and taping them into position with cellophane tape so they won't unfold. You can place your fleet in a box, which you've decorated to look like the floor of an aircraft carrier! (Use thread spools for pipes or cut the cardboard rolls into short pieces and cap them with a piece of round cardboard to look like hatchways and pipes!)
