Wings & Things

This is a great book for paper airplane enthusists who are looking for the next step. It also is reat for the oragami folder who wants to bring their creations to life. The designs range from simple to complex. Designs also span a number of different papers: letter, oragami square, and dollar bills. The drawings and directions are simple to follow with photos of finished flyers. As with all oragami, these creations require patience and attention to detail. This can be a great way to introduce a child to origami while tapping into their love of paper airplanes. It teaches patience and is a great parent/child activity. Thought the book doesn't cover the math and geometry of paper folding, you can use these exercises to teach these concepts.
