How To Make A Paper Airplane For Kids: Step-By-Step Instructions
1. Creating the Initial Folds and Plane Front
Take your full printer-size sheet of paper and fold it in half vertically and then unfold it to create a crease. Then take the top left and right corners of the paper and fold them downwards toward the center crease to meet each other. You Can use the dotted lines above as a reference. This fold will create the front of the plane as seen above.
2. Giving the Plane a Jet Shape
Once again you are going to fold the left and right sides of the paper towards the center crease that you made in step one to meet each other. Fold over the dotted lines that you see above in the image. This is to give the plane more of a jet shape.
3. Folding the Paper Model in Half
This is what you should have now. Now, take the current model and fold it in half by taking the left side and folding it over to the right side, and aligning the edges.
4. Crafting the First Wing
Turn the paper so that it’s aligned with how the image above looks. Next, we’re going to make the wings. Pick a side and fold the flap down to meet and align with the bottom of the plane. Use the dotted line as a reference to help you create this wing.
5. Completing the Second Wing
Flip the plane over and do the same thing with the other side to create the other wing.
6. Admiring the Finished Origami Airplane
Congratulations! Your final design should resemble the reference image. Enjoy your completed origami airplane and consider making more to share or race with friends and family.
