INSTRUCTIONS
1. Decorate the Outside of Your Plane

5. Fold in Half

Before you start folding, grab your markers,
crayons, or colored pencils and go wild! Let yourimagination flow and draw anything you like on
one side of the paper. Feel free to use a purple
crayon so your plane looks like Harold’s! This willbe the outside of your airplane.

Fold your paper in half along the original middle
crease. Now it should look like a long, narrow triangle.

2. Fold Your Paper in Half

• Fold one side down to make a wing, starting fromthe pointy nose and folding towards the bottom

Fold your paper in half the long way, like a hot dog
bun. Press down to make a nice, sharp crease, andthen open it back up.
3. Narrow the Nose
Fold the top two corners down to the middle
crease. You should now have a pointy top, like ahouse with a steep roof.
4. Shape the Nose
Fold those top edges down to the middle
crease again, making the nose of yourairplane extra pointy and ready to fly!

to make the second wing
7. Adjust Your Wings
Make sure your wings are even and stick out a bit like areal airplane’s wings. They should tilt up just a little bit
to help it glide.
8. Add More Decorations
Now’s the time to add any final touches to your plane.
Ready, Set, Go!
Hold your paper airplane by the bottom and give ita good throw. Watch it soar through the air! How farcan it go?
