Just Plane Fun!

​Yay! It was announced yesterday that paper airplanes were inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame located inside The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York!

I love the whimsy and delight of paper airplanes…so much so that I created Just Plane Fun – a stencil of five paper airplanes shown flying at different angles!

This stencil's creation was inspired by both my love of travel and experience teaching in the classroom! 
You can see the paper airplanes from Just Plane Fun flying around in these images of my art!

Exactly who made the first paper airplanes is unclear, though artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci gets credit for designing flying machines out of parchment in the 15th century.​

"Where some toys require financial investment, paper airplanes start with a simple sheet of paper, coupled with creativity and dexterity, to produce a toy with infinite aeronautical possibilities," said Christopher Bensch, The Strong's vice president for collections. "They allow the imagination to take off and soar."

Happy Friday!

Paper airplanes have been favourites in my house for ages. Love your pages. You have captured the whimsy and light-heartedness of flying a paper airplane.
