Playing is fun and learning can be too!

Dollar Store Airplane

Age 2+, Age 3+, Age 4+, Age 5+, Art, Math

Dollar Store Airplane! We bought these styrofoam airplanes at the dollar store. First we painted them. Once they dried we took them outside to fly! The airplanes were very easy to put together. Just 4 simple pieces. We had a competition to see who could throw them the farthest. This went on for around 20 rounds. Great conversation about distance, near and far. AGES 2+

I believe that PLAY is a huge part of children’s learning and development. Children should be active and involved in their learning. Children learn best by doing. My goal is for children to develop a love for learning while having fun!
