A is for Airplane

• Book: Fly by Nathan Clement
• Learn about the process of flying in an airplane!

• Visit an Airport
1. If you have an airport close by, go as close to the runway as you can and watch the planes.
2. Track the airplanes you see – Big, Medium, Small airplanes; White, Red, Black airplanes; etc.
3. Read more airplane books while you wait for them!

• Make paper airplanes!
• Usborne has a book “100 More Paper Planes to Fold and Fly”. Spend some time learning how to fold different types of airplanes, then fly them!

• Airplane Graphing
1. Do this graphing activity using different colored airplanes (like THESE that we used).
2. On a simple piece of graph paper, write an A next to each row (or column, however you are graphing) in the color of each different colored airplane.
3. Pick a specific spot you are aiming at (a chair, pillow, person, etc) and help your preschooler throw each airplane at that object.
4. The airplane that is the closest wins, put an A in their row.
