Valentine's Paper Airplane Ideas and Printable Templates

Print out a paper airplane…because love is in the air.

Paper Airplane Valentine

Print paper airplanes with a charming airmail border — perfect classroom valentines or a cute note for someone special. Inspired by the sweet Disney short Paper Man, this printable brings a simple, romantic twist to the classic paper plane. Once folded, the little planes feel both playful and heartfelt.

With help from my husband Kyle, we created a double-sided printable that reads, “You make my heart SOAR.” One side has space to write your child’s name (or yours), and the other side leaves room for the classmate’s name. Because it’s not pink and doubles as a toy, it’s a great option for boys or anyone who prefers something less frilly.

This printable gives kids a Valentine they can fold and fly — cute, simple, and fun.

Here’s a short how-to video that demonstrates the folding steps.

Each double-sided sheet yields four paper airplanes. For example, if there are 25 students in the class, print six sheets to have 24 planes plus one extra. Many parents prefer non-candy valentines, and this printable serves as both the card and a little toy. IMPORTANT: If the fold lines do not align correctly when printing the PDF, change the print setting from “Actual Size” to “Fit” or “Fit to Size” in your print dialog.
