Today I am sharing two books about paper airplanes. I have been meaning to share these as part of my Summertime Fun Series, but have not gotten around to it. So I decided to share it here before our summer actually ends. I mean paper airplanes are definitely a great summertime fun activity and these two books help make even more fun!! The first book is Michael LaFosse's Origami Airplanes. It comes with a DVD to follow the steps as well.
This book has planes that use different sized papers including square as well as letter and there are even some for dollar bills. Now I started to work on this review back on the Fourth of July weekend. I made these airplanes while we were visiting my parents. I had forgotten that I did not take many photographs of them and in fact only took one of them all together. Oops!!
Our second book is Ultimate Paper Airplanes for Kids by Andrew Dewar. This book comes with forty-eight tear out pages to make the twelve airplanes it has as well as a pull out airport page to play with the planes. This book begins with information about flying and creating airplanes. It involves science and engineering, so it is great for STEM lessons. It also includes information about how to use your planes as well as hosting a competition and games to play.
And the raptor.
After making them Hazel and a friend were throwing them around and having a contest to see who could catch them. They fly really well!!
The instructions are very clear and some of the planes even have lines numbered to help with the folds. The numbers are a bit small but definitely help with the creation of the planes. This is a very fun book!! And we really have been having fun with the airplanes.
