Airplanes

 

• Airplane Banner
  1. I love printing out this airplane alphabet banner from www.funlessonplans.com
  2. Let the kids color it and trace the dot letters.
  3. Great tracing, letter writing and cutting practice.
• Visit a local airport and watch the airplanes. We just have a small airport in our town, but the kids love getting up close to the planes and if we’re lucky we can see one take off or land.
• Fold paper airplanes and fly them! Click here for instructions on how to fold them.
• Get a simple balsa wood airplane (I’ve seen them for $1.00 at Michaels craft store or you can find them here), help the kids follow the instructions and fly them!

Snack Idea: Edible Airplanes … a healthier version of the candy airplanes

1. Use a piece of celery generously filled with peanut butter for the airplane body.
2. Skewer a toothpick through the celery and poke a sliced carrot or grape on each side for wheels.
3. Place a rectangle graham cracker on top (the peanut butter should hold it in place) to make the wings!
