Easy Activities: Paper Airplanes

This morning, I was dragging pretty hard. I just couldn't muster the energy to be particularly fun or creative. I needed to find something that we I could do that would give us a high Fun-To-Effort ratio score (referred to hereafter as the F2E Score, or just F2E).

Then it hit me: Paper Airplanes! I gave the kiddos some paper and crayons and told them to go hog-wild. When they were finished coloring, I turned their plain old stationary (haha) artwork into aviationary artwork (that's totally a real word, as far as I'm concerned). Not too time or labor intensive, but fun. F2E ftw.

Mine had one of those old warplane style mouths on it. I am more excited about that than I should be.

Videographic evidence after the jump

The kids had a blast playing with the paper airplanes. So did I. A good time was had by all, and the momentum shifted in a better direction for the rest of the morning. Now if I can just get through this afternoon...

I can't get the video to embed yet, but you can see it here in the meantime.

You gotta love the countdown(s) in the clip.
