National Paper Airplane Day is an unofficial observance, celebrated on May 26th each year in the United States to commemorate the simple aeronautical toy. Celebrating this holiday is simple and fun, and an activity that anyone can participate in no matter their age or skill level. Challenge friends and family to see who can make the most remarkable paper airplane that can stay in the air the longest. Attempting to fold the perfect paper airplane can be tricky and will take ti...me and patience. You can also celebrate by teaching a young child the art and joy of making a paper airplane. You’ll all have a blast making planes together and flying them outside together. Additional Resources: https://buff.ly/3vM6xl5 https://buff.ly/2IO4hC3
