Do your kids love making paper airplanes? My husband taught my girls how to make paper airplanes years ago, and whenever they find themselves bored or with extra scrap paper laying around, they will usually turn them into paper airplanes. Then, they challenge each over to see whose paper airplane can go the farthest. Whenever I find my girls making paper airplanes, I find my competitive side kick in, and I join in the fun to make the coolest airplane, that I always tell them will go the farthest -- even though it usually does a few loop d loops before nose diving to the ground. :-) Hey, I tried! :-)
So, when I was browsing the Workman Publishing website last month, I was excited to stumble across three paper airplane books that kids and adults would enjoy. As you can see in the photo above, these paper airplane books come with step by step instructions and colorful and vibrant paper ready to be folded into super cool animals and birds, outer space flyers and even a Gargoyle. I reached out to see about reviewing these books, and was excited when they arrived at my door. I knew my girls and husband would have a blast making and flying their paper airplanes, and it would give me a excuse to practice my folding skills so that I could finally beat them all. :-)
The step-by-step instructions and tips on how to send your plane soaring in each book are perfect for both beginner and advanced paper airplane fans. In a matter of minutes you can have a few paper airplanes ready to take flight.
My family had a blast making all the different paper airplanes from these three books, and had even more fun flying the all around the house and outside. While I didn't beat my girls, as their planes always seemed to keep soaring through the air, while my needed to make a pit stop and rest in the bushes or in the couch cushions, it was still fun spending quality time together, without cell phones or electronics. One night we spend a couple hours just making the different airplanes and flying them all around.
With the holidays fast approaching these three paper airplane books from Workman Publishing would make for great stocking stuffer ideas for kids and kids at heart who still love grabbing a piece of paper and turning it into a stellar aircraft. :-) And, at around $8 per book, you can't go wrong with the price, as you get 60+ mini planes and paper with each book. I hope that more paper airplane books are released from Ken Blackburn and Jeff Lammers, as I will buy them to share with my family.
Here is more about the three different paper airplane books, including links to Amazon where you can purchase them...
