Best Flying Paper Airplane Craft

Fun Flying for the Kids!

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni PM September 25, 2014
If you are looking for a diversion from the every day routine then the kids will be excited to paint and create these fun airplanes. We made some last night and had flights with our airplanes to see whose could go the furthest. The kids got very creative with their airplanes. There are many versions of these homemade airplanes but the youtube video below will show you how to create a airplane that won't disappoint the little ones. The kids named theirs and one was "Thunderbolt Fire" and the other was "Bolt". We enjoyed our time flying our newly created airplanes.



This activity started out by painting the airplanes. We used Dot paints and markers. The kids could hardly wait to get done coloring their piece of paper so it could be transformed into an airplane.



Here is the directions if you would like to create your own with your kids.



Supplies:

8 1/2 /x 11 sheet of paper 
Paint and/or markers
Design your page and then you can watch the video below to create your airplanes.

Happy Flying!
