Paper Airplanes

Remember when you would get in trouble for flying paper airplanes in school? Instead of banning them-let’s use them as a learning tool. Folding planes requires attention to detail and the ability to follow directions, both great skills for children to learn.  It is also a great way to learn the fundamentals of flight. The same forces that make a real airplane fly are involved with paper airplanes, just on a smaller scale.
