Steps

Cut your pieces

To make your airplane, you'll need one large strip of paper for the body. We cut ours about 2.5 inches wide and about 8 inches long, but you can experiment with what works for you! From the same piece of paper, cut a tail shape. It should look like a triangle with a flat top. For the wings, we cut one long strip of another paper about 1 inch wide and 8 inches long. For the propeller, we cut one long skinny strip.
