Paper Airplane Contest
June 23, 2023
Adults think that kids playing is some nothing thing, but play is a different state of mind, and it can help us do so many things if we just allow ourselves to get back to it.

Today might not be the day you need this, but one day you will:
Thanks to our Creative Director Scott Bilstad for sharing foldnfly.com, a complete database of paper airplane styles and how to fold them!
Whether you try these with children or want to have more fun cleaning out old files, you can filter and sort by distance, time aloft, acrobatic and decorative styles, difficulty, and whether or not scissors are needed.
Or, simply enjoy the looks and names of paper airplanes like the Sea Glider, the UFO, the White Dove, the Zip Dart and more… Which ones did you make as a child (or more recently)?

Thanks for sharing in the simple joys of this kind of play. Francis, I love it when you share your memories. Definitely links to the person you are today! And Patricia, how fun to pass this along to your grandchildren. They will treasure these moments for sure!

I think play is a very important activity for children.They develop all the areas of development . Thanks for the many ways to build a plane, I like the idea and I will do with my grandkids.
Please never stop play and give many opportunities to free play.

One of my favorite activities as a child was making and flying paper airplanes. Where we lived in England (near the Welsh border), occasionally a glider would land on one of our farm fields. The gliders would take off from Wenlock Edge, a large outcropping some distance from where I lived. Since then, I have always enjoyed learning about planes (when I travel, I always check the make and model of the plane I am flying on!)
