Paper Airplane with a Happy Face and Looping Trail

Coloring guide
This folded paper airplane has big sparkly eyes and a wide open smile, and it zooms diagonally across the page. Behind it, a dashed line loops around in a circle. Three puffy outlined clouds drift nearby: one at the top left, one on the right and a larger one at the bottom. Each triangular fold of the paper is drawn with clear, simple lines, so it's easy to color the sections one at a time. The shapes are big and the lines are bold, which makes this free printable a nice match for preschoolers and early elementary kids still building pencil control. Kids can trace the dotted loop with a crayon first if they like. Two shades of sky blue on the plane's sides will make the folds pop, and soft gray or light purple clouds give a bit of contrast. This fits right in with our Airplane coloring pages — see also Monster Trucks and Cars.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Color the three clouds with sky blue, going lightly back and forth so the paper texture shows a little.
- 2Fill the big airplane body and the long left wing with golden yellow, keeping the thin white highlight along the top edge of the wing white.
- 3Color the inner fold between the wings and the small flap at the tail with orange.
- 4Fill the open smile with coral pink, and leave the eye whites and the small shine spots white so the eyes look bright.
- 5Optional: add a slightly darker yellow or orange along the lower edges of the folds to make the plane look more folded.
