Yisrael came home one day from Cheder, and wanted to show off a new skill he had learned- how to make a
מטוס קרב (which literally means fighter plane, but in this case he means a paper airplane)! Since then, he has been folding up every paper he can get his hands on- and his aerodynamic skills are vastly improving (I've got to make sure to put all my bills, receipts, etc. in a safe place or else they're destined to be flying around the living room!)
Its funny because making paper airplanes is such a simple way to have fun- but I never thought of teaching him how (thanks to whoever did, since its kept him busy for many an afternoon!)
Today I gave Yisrael an envelope that had a window- and he was thrilled! He cut open the envelope, folded it into an airplane, and then proceeded to cut up little 'people' to stick inside the window, so you could see them! He was thrilled with his creation, and I must say that I was quite impressed with his creativity!
