CHARLIE: Airplanes!
They come in all sorts of
weird shapes and sizes.
But some of our
favorites are paper airplanes.
Quick, grab some craft
paper to follow along.
And we'll show you how to make
a whole fleet, you can play
with.
First up, the vortex thrower.
All you'll need is a
piece of paper and some tape.
Step 1, fold one side of the
paper and then fold the fold
on top of itself.
Then fold it again.
Step 2, take the ends of the
paper and roll it into a
cylinder and tuck the ends
into themselves.
Step 3, secure it with a
little bit of tape at each
end.
Throw it with a little wrist
flick, and it's a great flyer!
KIRBY: Next, we
have the hoop glider.
For this one you'll need two
strips of paper, a straw, and
some tape.
Step 1, take each strip of
paper and fold them into a
circle.
Secure the ends with tape.
Step 2, connect the two
circles to each end of the
straw.
And check this one
out, the helicopter.
You will need a four-inch
strip of paper, scissors, and
a paper clip.
Start off by cutting a slit
on either side of the paper.
Fold the paper onto itself.
Make a third cut down
the center of your paper.
Fold one end, then flip
it, and fold the other.
Fold the end over and secure
your paper clip to the bottom.
And voila, you
have a helicopter.
CHARLIE: Last but not
least, the Sky King.
This record-breaking paper
airplane design stayed in the
air for over 27 seconds.
So get ready, there are a
lot of steps in this one.
Step 1, grab a sheet of paper
and fold it in half,
lengthwise.
Step 2, open it back up and
fold in the front corners to
meet at the center.
Step 3, fold the tip down
to about 1 inch from the
bottom of the paper.
Step 4, fold in the top two
corners so the edges meet
flush at the center and then
undo the fold.
Step 5, fold the corners back
in, so they meet just at the
top,
creating a new edge.
Step 6, fold the sides in again
along the creases that you'd
made a couple steps earlier.
Step 7, fold the tip of the
nose down so it meets the
center point,
then unfold it back up.
Step 8, fold the
paper in half.
Step 9, fold the tip of the
nose back, to meet the crease
that you made earlier.
Step 10, unfold the nose to
leave the new crease line.
Step 11, spread the folds
apart to create a diamond
shape.
Step 12, fold the top part of
the diamond down to meet the
bottom point.
Step 13, fold the right and
left sides of the diamond back
along the sides.
Step 14, fold the wings down,
so they line up with the side
points of the front diamond.
Lastly, create winglets by
folding down the top quarter
inch of the wing tips.
Tada!
(crowd cheering).
A bonafide sky king!
Now, all that's
left to do is play!
