Joint crafts with a child perfectly develop the imagination, improve the motor skills of babies and bring all participants closer together in the process of work. Moreover, the options for such origami are both the simplest ones - for kids, and complex models - for thoughtful work.
1. The classic version of a paper airplane
Any paper is suitable for manufacturing, even a newspaper. Required size of A4 sheet. Place the sheet vertically. Fold it in half, place a mark in the center. Expand the sheet, connect both top corners to the middle of the sheet. Unfold the paper.
Place the corners so that they do not reach the center of the sheet. Fold back the small corner to hold the rest. Fold the plane in half along a vertical line. The triangular parts are on top, bend the sides-wings to the center. You can leave the glider with a sharp nose or make it blunt by bending it.
2. Highly flying paper plane
Fold A4 sheet horizontally in half. Open and rotate vertically. Bend to a straight outlined line so that there is a triangle at the top. Fold the resulting line back to the outside. Do the same on the other side and repeat all the steps.
Open all folded pieces and fold the paper on both sides to the center strip. At the intersections, bend the sheet forward, pressing the line with your fingers. Open the sheet to its original position and bend along the first top line.
Bend the sheet to the central horizontal line, lay the resulting corner exactly on the line. Flip the paper over and fold it horizontally. Turn the sheet over again and fold the triangle so that it faces up.
Bend the upper parts along the center line, the product will begin to assemble itself. Press the paper very gently on both sides with your hands. Fold in half and bend the wings of the plane, make bends of 1-1.5 cm on them. Spread the plane with the wings, it is ready to fly.
3. Paper plane with large wings: step by step instructions
Fold A4 sheet in half and fold back. Make a triangle at the top and bend the leaf to the center on both sides again, you get a sharp triangle. Fold the paper along the fold point. Unfold and fold the workpiece in the same way on the other side. Bend the sides to the center line.
Fold the triangle forward again. Flip the layout over and fold it again. Fold the plane in half. Bend the wings on top to make them look like real ones. Done.
4. Paper glider is easy and simple
Fold A4 sheet in half and cut it along the line. Fold one sheet in half again and draw on it with a pencil the blank of the glider you need. Cut out the template, leaving gaps in the wings and tail. Using a ruler, shape the workpiece into the correct shape, gently ironing the lines.
Put a piece of plasticine in the nose of the plane and connect. Bend and unfold the paper at the cuts in the tail and wings. To give the model flying ability, smooth out the wings with a pencil and wrap them a little.
To check the elevator, lower the aircraft vertically; if the aircraft is steering to one side, adjust by lowering or raising the controller. The plane is ready.
5. Volumetric craft: cardboard plane
You will need:
- 2 sheets of cardboard
- PVA glue,
- pencil,
- ruler,
- scissors,
- Matchbox.
Mark with a pencil on the cardboard two strips about the width of a matchbox and cut them out. Form the wings of an airplane from these strips. Also cut two strips 1, 5 cm wide along the length of the cardboard. Cut two 8 cm pieces from one thin strip.
On the matchbox, attach a second long thin strip bent in half, glue it to the box. Make a tail from a short, narrow strip and glue it inward. Glue the second part on top, making a triangle out of it. Lock the wings in place. Cut out the propeller and glue it on. The craft is ready.
6. Far flying paper airplane
Lay the A4 sheet towards you with its wide side and fold in half. Fold the top corners towards the middle of the fold. Fold the nose of the blank across so that the end of the blank is aligned with the edge of the sheet.
Having departed from the upper fold line 1.5 cm, fold the bow, directing it up. Then fold the structure in half lengthwise. Shape the wings so that the nose is to the left of the hand and the tail of the plane is to the right. Fold over the top without breaking the bow.
Make folds at the side edges of the wings so that they point up. This will help the aircraft to glide far, give the model aerodynamics and stabilization.
7. Paper plane with a propeller
You will need:
- stationery knife,
- A4 sheet,
- the pencils,
- a sewing pin with a bead at the top.
Lay the sheet with the short side facing you, bend it in half along its length. Fold the top corners towards the center. Fold the side corners to the center of the sheet. Bend the sides to the center again and iron all folds carefully.
Make a propeller out of a 6 x 6 cm square sheet. To do this, mark both diagonals, make cuts along these lines, departing from the center about 1 cm.
Fold the propeller by sliding the corners to the center through one and gluing them. Fix the middle with a needle and a bead. Attach the propeller to the tail of the workpiece. The plane is ready.
8. Paper boomerang plane
Bend A4 sheet in half along the long side, unfold. Set the top corners back towards the center, flatten. Expand the resulting part down. Straighten the triangle to smooth out all the wrinkles.
Turn the workpiece back side, bend the second side of the triangle towards the center. Point the wide end to the opposite end. Do the same with the other half of the product.
The result is a kind of pocket. Fold it up so that its edge lies exactly along the length of the sheet. Fold the corner into this pocket and point the top down. Do the same with the other side of the plane.
Bend the details on the side of the pocket up. Expand the workpiece, place the front edge in the center. Fold the protruding pieces of paper. Remove the fin-like details as well. Expand the layout. Fold the layout in half and iron all the folds well.
Bend the parts of the wings upward, a slight bend should appear at their front. The plane is ready.
9. The easiest paper airplane for kids
A similar plane can be made with babies, it is considered basic. To create it, fold the sheet in half lengthwise, unbend it. Fold both top edges together to form a triangle.
Also point both sides towards each other. Bend the resulting workpiece in half again, then unfold. In the center, press down on the mark with your finger and flip the plane. Spread its wings and you can launch it into flight.
10. Paper model of a bomber plane
Place the A4 sheet with the short edge towards you. Fold it vertically in half lengthwise. Bend two corners to the center along the short part. From the center of the resulting triangle, draw a line to the unfolded segments so that you get two new triangles. Bend the workpiece along this line towards you.
Fold the resulting shape along the axis of symmetry so that the corners are inside. Carefully check the coincidence of the halves, as it depends on how your plane will fly. Fold the sides to form the wings. The plane is ready.
