How to Solve the Paper Airplane Dot-to-Dot Puzzle
This classic paper airplane is ready to soar! The 56-dot challenge is divided into four simple stages, perfect for little puzzlers just starting out. Find dot 1 and let's take off!
1–14 — The Pointed Nose
Connect dots 1 through 14 to draw the sharp, folded nose of the paper airplane.
Fun fact!
A pointed nose helps a paper airplane slice through the air with less resistance, so it flies farther.

15–28 — The Folded Wings
Continue from dot 15 to dot 28 to shape the wide, folded paper wings.
Fun fact!
The crisp fold lines on each wing keep them flat and stiff, which helps the plane glide smoothly instead of flopping around.

29–42 — The Body Crease
Follow dots 29 through 42 along the center crease that holds the paper airplane together.
Fun fact!
The center crease acts like a spine, giving the paper airplane the strength to hold its shape while it flies.

43–56 — The Tail and Finish
Finish with dots 43 through 56 to complete the tail edges at the back of the plane.
Fun fact!
The back edges of the wings can be bent up slightly to help the paper airplane fly straighter instead of diving or spinning.
