Paper Airplane Measuring:

If you're a mom, you've probably folded your fair share of paper airplanes. My boys LOVE them, and want to play them often. My idea going into this post, was how could I turn a fun activity that they already love, into more of a learning experience? Here's what I came up with!



What You'll Need:


-Paper

-Coloring Supplies

-Measuring Tape


1: Give your kids some paper and coloring stuff. Let them decorate however they want!

2: Fold their paper into a paper airplane. (If you don't know how to do it, there are tons of tutorials and pictures online!)



3: Have your child throw the paper airplane.

4: Hold the measuring tape steady and have them pull it out to where their paper airplane landed.

5: Hold the measuring tape in place, and have your child point to and read the number of how far their airplane went.


6: Repeat 3-5 as many times as your child stays interested!







*Activity Notes:


-This is a perfect activity to practice saying numbers! Instead of just saying "1-2-8" have them practice saying "one hundred twenty eight". They'll pick it up quick!

- It would be fun practice to count by tens! Have your kid find each progressing ten and say them out loud as they go.

-If you have multiple kids, have them throw them at the same time and do a race!
