How to Fold the Best Paper Airplanehow to fold the best paper airplane

With a family of 3 boys, I folded my share of paper airplanes and we’ve found our favorite! Teach your kids how to fold these and not only will you be a cool mom, but you won’t ever have to fold them another airplane!

Use a sheet of 8.5×11″ paper and follow the steps below. If you want to draw or decorate your plane, do it before folding!

one paper airplane every kid should know how to make

After you’ve mastered the paper airplane try out our paper whale.

For more fun ideas to keep the kids occupied check out our 100 Summer Fun Ideas.

      Which picture are you pinning, the top one or the main one at the bottom? Let’s figure out which one and I can fix it. The two main ones work from my computer 🙂 Thanks for the heads up!

    Thank you for this awesome tutorial! I needed a good airplane for Primary Sharing Time tomorrow, and this flies so well that I might actually get to aim it specific kids – haha.

      Take the corners from the top and fold down into the center fold.
