Making a paper airplane is a fun and easy activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Here are some general steps to follow:

Materials:

  • A sheet of paper (8.5″ x 11″ or A4 size)

Instructions:

  1. Start by folding the paper in half lengthwise, making sure the edges are aligned. Crease the fold with your fingers or a flat tool, such as a ruler or a credit card.
  2. Unfold the paper and fold down the top corners to the center crease, creating two triangles. Make sure the tips of the triangles meet at the center crease.
  3. Fold the top edge of the paper down to the bottom edge, creasing the fold.
  4. Fold the paper in half along the center crease, making sure the edges are aligned. Crease the fold with your fingers or a tool.
  5. Fold the wings down by folding the top corners of the paper down and away from the center crease. The wings should be at a slight angle to the body of the plane.
  6. Finally, fold up the wingtips to create the stabilizers or flaps at the end of each wing.

Now, your paper airplane is ready to fly! Hold the plane by the bottom or launch it by throwing it gently into the air at a slight upward angle. Experiment with different folding techniques to see which designs work best for you.
