Instructions: Origami is the art of creating things by folding paper. Fold an airplane from a piece of paper according to the pictures below. Encourage children to make the folds themselves.

Fold a piece of paper in half, the long way.

Fold down one corner.

Then the other corner.

Flip the paper over and fold it in half, opposite the original fold.

Fold down one flap.

Flip the paper over.

Then fold the other flap.

And you have a basic airplane to play with.

After you fold your airplane, attach a paperclip to the bottom front. Experiment with sliding the paperclip back and forth and see how far you can make your plane fly.
