Step 3 Next, fold the left point inward until it reaches the center line. Repeat on right side.

Step 5 Fold the wings of the airplane down on each side. The body of the plane should be 1–1.75 inches in height.

• A Paper Football.Check the next page for instructions.

• Uprights.The uprights are made by the defender who places his/herfists on the table touching extended forefingers withthumbs raised. Confused? Make an “L” with your thumband index finger. Make another one with your other hand.Turn your hands so your index fingers are touching. Pointyour thumbs up. You’re making uprights!

• Game TableA small table acts as the perfect playing field space.


Paper FootballNothing beats boredom like a good game. Paper football is easy and fun yet fairly harmless, so you won't need a helmet.

The player who has the football has three tries to get it into the end zone at the other end of the table by flicking the football with an index finger.

On the fourth try they can either try one last time for the end zone, or thump it for a field goal.

See who makes it into the end zone the most.

What You Need

How to Play


Step 1 Fold a single sheet of paper lengthwise.

Step 5 Continue folding the paper diagonally until there is only a small amount of paper left at the sheet’s base.

Step 7 Finally, tuck the end of the strip into the last fold, to keep your football in its triangular shape.

Step 8 Now you have a paper football.

Step 6 Fold the leftover paper over onto itself.

Step 2 Fold the paper lengthwise again.

Step 3 Once more, fold the sheet of paper lengthwise. The shape of the paper should now be a long rectangle.

Step 4 Starting at the top right corner, begin to fold the sheet of paper diagonally, forming a triangle shape.

SnowflakesPaper snowflakes are fun to make and look at all year ’round. Here is a simple way to get started. Once you get the hang of it, see how many different kinds you can make! After all, no two snowflakes are alike.

What You Will NeedHammermill® Color Copy Digital ScissorsOptional, but VERY helpful: Glitter

Step 1 Start by cutting paper into a perfect 8x8-inch square.

Step 2 Fold in half diagonally to make a triangle.

Step 3 Fold in half again. This time into a smaller triangle.

Step 4 Fold in thirds, or as many times as you can.

Experiment Cut shapes of different number and sizes to create unique snowflake patterns.

Paper FansHere’s a simple fun idea that can take a million different forms.



Step 1 Color your fan, design patterns on it, cut patterns into it or draw a picture on your sheet of paper.

Step 4 Spread out the fan. Glue the two middle edges of the fan together.

Step 5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 using 1 to 2 additional sheets of paper. Connect the fans together using glue.

Step 6 Pinch together the bottom edge one inch from the base and fasten it together with a rubber band, glue, or strip of paper.

Step 3 Fold the paper in half.

Step 2 Vertically accordion-fold the paper in .25- to .5-inch widths. Flip the paper back and forth as you do so.

After you finish folding your paper, you should have one long rectangle. (Unfold your paper, and it will look like an accordion.)

Step 2 Attach your shapes to the end of a string using glue or by creating a small hole to tie a piece of string through.

Step 3 Tie the shapes to the end of a stick, hanger, or small dowel rod so that they hang down from the stick. It is fun to hang the shapes at different heights.

Step 4 The trick is to balance the weight of the pieces and their position on the stick so that everything hangs freely.
