Who this list is for
Rainy-day families who want a reusable paper-airplane target board will find the right setup here. It is for making the launch board and score markers, not for folding paper airplanes.
How to use this list
Start with the large corrugated cardboard sheet as the backing. Use the ruler and pencil to plan target zones on the poster board, then cut with child-safe scissors and attach sections with painter's tape. Add point values with washable markers and round adhesive labels. Make score markers from the index cards, then use removable adhesive wall strips to hang the finished board.
Common mistakes
Do not rely on permanent tape or permanent wall fasteners when the board is meant to come down after play. Measure the poster-board areas before cutting so the target fits the cardboard sheet. Keep the score markers separate from the target labels so children can track points without covering the landing zones.
What is on this list
The supplies include one cardboard sheet, one poster board, painter's tape, washable markers, round adhesive labels, a ruler, pencil, child-safe scissors, removable wall strips, and 20 index cards for score markers. Cross off anything already in your craft drawer before shopping.
When you are done
Press the board securely onto the removable adhesive wall strips and check that it is within easy reach. Put the ruler, pencil, markers, labels, and score cards together for the next round. Store the board flat if possible so it stays usable for another rainy afternoon.
