Fun Airplane Activities for Kids

Airplane activities for kids are enjoyable for all ages. Here are some fun, high-flying projects, snacks and books to get you going.

Fun Airplane Activities for Kids

My kids get so excited when they see an airplane in the sky. I think all parents can remember when there little one started to say the word airplane and point to the sky with their tiny fingers.

We have put together a list of some fun airplane activities for kids as apart of a Summer learning series topic. If you are new to that term summer learning series, let me explain what that means. I have a background in education and I’ve created a group of posts with topics that are meant to encourage learning while having fun and playing to get you through the summer.

Remember these airplane activities for kids are just suggestions and we never intend for you to everything in the summer learning series posts. Just pick something that looks fun to you or use this as inspiration to choose your very own activity.

This theme of airplanes is an easy one because you could simply have a picnic at the park and watch for airplanes to fly over. You could even make a chart to count how many you see.

6 Airplane Activities for Kids

• My boys love paper airplanes so we plan on making some and having a family night paper airplane races. If you don’t know how to make a paper airplane click HERE to find out how to make a simple one that flies really well.

• If you want something a little sturdier than paper airplanes you could make one of these foam airplanes from Handsonaswegrow.com

• Check out how cute these clothespin airplanes are from Create Craft Love.

• These footprint planes would be a fun outdoor art project. I’m thinking a few cotton balls for the clouds would be cute too!

• I love these color by number prints from spelloutloud.com. She has the download for this page on her blog to print out and use.

• These airplane sponge stamps from craftulate.com are a cute and simple art project. These would be pretty easy to cut out of sponges from the dollar store or any you have sitting around the house.

Airplane Snacks for Kids

Here are two yummy and fun airplane snacks you could make:

• I know my kids would go crazy for these peanut butter and celery airplanes from crystalandcomp.com!
