Paper Airplane Challenge

Parents—-> With all the online learning, please be sure to have your kids disconnect some time during the day! They should be getting some fresh air out in the yard. Try this activity and have them go out and see who can fly their plane the farthest.

We would love to see the creations. Please share pictures of planes in the comments. 🙂
