Paper Airplanes

Play Equipment:

Paper
Tape
Markers
Gift wrap ribbon


I can't tell you how many paper airplanes I have folded, and yet I have only mastered a few variations. If you are in need of a good airplane tutorial, try this website: www.amazingpaperairplanes.com (if you are not skilled in origami, like my unskilled self, I highly recommend the simple designs). After the airplane has been folded, add a design with markers and tape the ribbon to the back side of the wings. If they fly the airplanes down the stairs, they will get lots of exercise and not even know it!

Jumping Off the Jelly Beans

With all of the plastic eggs cracked and the candy consumed, we had a little excess energy to burn off. Truth be known, I probably ate the most. We were all in need of some exercise. It's still raining here and will continue to rain until June, so I am always looking for indoor play equipment. One of our favorites is the Playskool Honeybee Hop. A game with a spinning stick that you jump, hop, or just run away from. My kids have yet to master the jump rope, so this is a great alternative. With motivational music and various speeds, I even like to play with this one! The best part: no one has to take turns.
