Dangerous, Daring People: Paper Airplanes

[holdouttrout]

Some of you mentioned that you'd be interested in doing something with me from The Dangerous Book for Boys and The Daring Book for Girls.

So each week--next week I'll start posting on Mondays--I'll post a subject/activity, and links where you can find more information about it.

This week is paper airplanes. There are instructions for two paper airplanes in The Dangerous Book for Boys. You can find the instructions by going to Amazon and looking at the excerpt from the book, or you can find other paper airplane instructions that look interesting and try them out.



I tried both of the planes in the book, and while they weren't the best planes EVAR!!! they were quite fun. Plus, it was good to refresh my memory on planes other than the standard office meeting plane. Which I never do quite right. ;-)

I'm hoping to try out my new skillz on Sunday. Church bulletin inserts are just the perfect size for little stealth flyers. *grins*

What an awesome idea!

I think it's pretty dang fun, myself. I love these sorts of things.

You are a dork. :D

And my airplane is not even flight-worthy. It must be my snowflake-making gene at work.

Try changing some of the folds a bit. Sometimes the directions aren't very, um...accurate.

Also: dork.

Dork to the nth power = you.

So true.
