Paper airplane fun
We’ve discussed origami before as a frugal fun concept. Expanding on this idea is an afternoon of paper airplane fun. Most know how to make the basic paper airplane (you know, the kind that you throw at substitute teachers when their back is turned), but if not, check out instructions here.
