Flyin' High!

Difficulty:  *

Paper Airplanes!  This is the ultimate easy craft project to do with your child.  And, I was surprised to find how much she enjoyed it and the length of time it entertained her.  In fact, we're headed out to the park this afternoon for a paper airplane flying contest with Halsey's favorite Uncle! 

All you need for this project is a sheet of paper.  We used just simple computer paper, but notebook paper or construction paper will certainly work too.  The simple steps follow. 

1.  Start by folding the paper in half horizontally.



2.  Fold in the top corners of each side of the paper. 



3.  Fold again.  One side of this fold is shown below. 


And the other. 


4.  Repeat this same fold again on both sides. 

And on the other side.


5.  Flip paper over, and grasp the folds of the paper, your plane is ready for decorating! 


6.  Decorate with crayons or pens.  Enjoy the hours of fun your child will have with this creation!! 

7.  Ready for take-off!
