Making crafts out of paper (or even making your own paper) can be one of the most fun and, even more importantly, inexpensive activities for anyone. These crafts are great fun for kids and adults alike, they will keep kids entertained, while also being fun and sometimes practical for adults. It's not just about making a paper airplane to throw around, you can great your very own origami, practice how to fold napkins, make 3D animals and structures, and much more! I personally found searching around for tutorials helpful in teaching me the "fine art" of folding paper, paper piercing, and even luxurious quilling. I hope you can find what you need.
