* How to make a paper plane
There are many kinds of easy paper crafts for kids, among them I like paper plane best. It is easy to make, and there is great fun. I don't know if you enjoyed making and flying paper plane when you were a child, but I did. I discovered the great fun in making paper plane and flying it. It enriched my childhood, just, so much fun! It is easy to make a paper plane. Just find a A4 paper, and fold it, by following the procedures illustrated below. First of all, in order to make it a perfect job, you need to fold it in length, to make a half-to-half line. Then, unfold it.
Next, fold the both corners at one end to the middle line, with the corners on the middle line. Then, fold crosswise along the two corners, to let the middle point of the end fall onto the middle line. It will appear as a square again, with a folded triangle on one end. It is ready for the next step. After you have folded it by following the above mentioned procedures, you need to follow the same procedure to fold the same end of the paper again. You can glue the both corners after the second time of folding, or you can use the inner tip of the triangle of the first folding to make them together by folding the tip onto the both corners of the second folding.
Now, you are almost ready to finish the "construction" of the plane. Fold along the middle line to make both halves touch with each other, with the folded parts out. Then, fold either "wing" back by halves, and you will see that both wings are formed, after you take your hands off the "plane". Finally, you have your paper plane folded! You can adjust the angles of the wings to make it fly the farther.
Though you can fly it in your room, it is much enjoyable if you fly in an opening place, such as in your courtyard, or on a square. Try to fly it to see if you can fly it well, and how far you can fly it. Besides the procedure, you can choose different color paper to make your plane look more beautiful. Also, the wings of the plane can easily be adjusted, so, you can try to fold the wings in different sizes, in order to make it fly well and far. Enjoy flying it!
