Did you know that making paper airplanes is similar to Origami -the Japanese
art of paper folding? In Japan, making paper airplanes is called Aerogami.
Like Origami, folding paper airplanes can be a little tricky, so follow the instructions carefully. If you need additional help, ask an adult or older friend
for assistance.
First select your favorite paper design and you are ready to go. The printed
papers can be used to make any of the plane designs.
When folding your planes, crease your paper with your finger nail to get a
good sharp edge. The neater the lines of the plane the better it will fly.
If you need some design ideas, refer to the planes on the box for inspiration.
Making your planes: These are ranked by degree of difficulty. Remember, if
you have any trouble, have a parent or an older friend help you out.

better lift.
Time to Customize
Once you have constructed your planes, you can customize them with the
stickers included in your kit. Remember, in order to fly properly the planes
must be balanced. If you add a sticker on one side, you will need to add a
matching sticker to the other side.
Constructing the Runway
After you have customized your planes, you can play with them on your
make believe runway. Find a good spot in your house or yard to set these
up. Invite your friends over to play along with you – make a game to see
who can land closest to the runway.
Sky Diver
Outside Play is Recommended.
• Before playing with your sky diver,
pick an open area free from trees,
power lines and other obstacles.
• Roll up the parachute and loosely
wrap the string around it as shown.
• Throw it up as high as you can. The
parachute will open up as it glides to
the ground. (Note – if the
parachute does not open,
you probably have it
wrapped too tightly. Roll
the parachute back up
and wrap the
string a little
looser.Try
this - Set up
the landing
target and
see how
close you
can get him to the
center. Fly the planes
and have a friend toss up the
sky diver at the same time to
see which lands first.
