- 1 piece Scissors
- 1 piece Craft knife
- 1 piece Ruler
- 1 piece Pencil

Instructions
Cut the Foam
- Use a ruler to measure out your desired airplane shapes on the foam sheets.

Assemble the Plane
- Using glue, attach the wings to the body. Hold in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Add the Tail
- Glue the tail at the rear end of the airplane body. Adjust the angle for better gliding performance.
Customize Your Design
- Use markers or stickers to add designs, patterns, or flames for a personalized touch.
Test Flight
- Head outdoors or to an open space and get ready to fly!
- Gently toss your airplane forward. Adjust the wing angles if needed for improved gliding.
Notes
Try using cardboard or plastic if foam isn’t available—ensure they are lightweight. Experiment with different wing sizes and shapes for varied flight patterns.
