old an origami flying bat!

This is one of my favourite models. If you've done any folding at all, you shouldn't find it difficult. Kids and cats both love to chase these :-)!

 

Please be patient as these images load.

Remember: when you're ready to fly your bat, do not throw it. Just hold it flat, either in your palm or by the tail, then let it go and watch it drift along. Start with 6-inch square paper. The higher up you'll be to fly it (standing on a chair, for example, or at the top of the stairs -- or at the top of a mountain!), the larger the paper you can use to fold the model.
