Paper Airplanes For Kids: 20 Amazing Paper Airplanes With Easy Step By Step Instructions And Illustrations! (Origami Fun)

Great step by step instructions and it has kept my son busy for a while. The Hammer Airplane is spectacular, glides so well!

Good book

A great book for different designs. A few trickier designs, so my children needed help, but overall I am happy with the book.

This is a well written, edited, and illustrated book with straightforward instructions on how to create 20 different paper airplanes of three basic types at the cost of paper, following instructions, and perseverance. It’s aimed at kids, obviously, but may appeal to adults interested in aviation, flying, how planes seem to defy gravity, and so forth. It’s logically organized, with an Introduction about paper airplane history (Origami, China, Leonardo, Wright brothers, Northrop, contests, etc.), Aviation Vocabulary (symbols used in illustrations), Structure (paper aircraft anatomy), Terminology (lift vs. gravity & thrust vs. drag), Types of Paper Airplanes (gliders, darts, stunts), Tips and Tricks (where to start, how to fold, etc.), and Plans (blueprints) for 20 different paper airplanes. The plans include a design description, distinctive features, benefits and limitations, brief history, and step by step instructions to create. Interpreting and following the instructions and creating a paper airplane requires patience and perseverance, with the payoff of accomplishing a goal and pride of achievement. The book also provides accessible lessons in aeronautical lingo and interesting historical facts about aviation.

Kids haven’t seen it yet they are away but as a teacher I know they will love it. Thanks

Well organized and has step by step pictures. The wording for the steps could be a little. More clear in my opinion. Children younger then 10 would need assistance.

These are not the paper airplanes I remember from my childhood – this is next level, a real art form. The author is clearly passionate about the subject and drops in interesting historical references throughout. The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow.The book not only includes designs but covers the basics of aerodynamics – why planes fly at all. This short science lesson can kelp kids understand how their planes work and potentially help to fix performance issues they may have with their paper creations.Well-written. I highly recommend.

Fun to fold the paper and achieve a great result. One has to follow the I strictions slowly as made several mistakes. It is a slow process but worth the effort.
