Description

This kit contains 12 full colour pop-out paper pieces, a catapult launcher and instruction booklet. These awesome high-performance planes are frustration-free-no glue needed, just a stapler and some imagination. The full-colour instruction book inside the kit provides clear, step-by-step folding instructions for each plane. All the planes are printed in full color on high-quality cardstock and precut so you just push out the pieces, fold them and staple them. The rubber band catapult launcher that is included makes the planes soar and swoop to great heights-which draws a crowd and keeps kids and adults entertained for hours. "One Minute Paper Airplanes Kit is a kit with pop out aeroplanes that you fold according to instructions and then staple together. The instructions also tell you how to tune the planes for better performance and offers tips on how to design your own paper aeroplane models. The 12 pop outs are printed in full colour on high-quality card and you don't have to cut anything - you just push them out, fold and staple. There's also a rubber band catapult launcher in the kit to help the planes fly far, high and fast! The instructions are quite easy to follow but our stapler is too large to fit in to staple the planes together so ours weren't as sturdy as they should have been. Still lots of fun though and my 3-year-old loved the planes I made her." -A Mum Reviews blog

Reviews

"Each of the 12 unique paper airplane models that come with this kit boasts detailed designs, vivid colors, and varying styles that will inspire awe in any child that picks up this kit. In fact, it may be hard for them to choose which airplane to fly first! Amazing design aside, the best part of these pop-out planes is that you can truly make them in one minute or less; with no glue required and no complicated folds to make, kids can simply staple their precut airplane parts together and dive right into play time. Kids will have absolutely no trouble constructing these amazing airplanes. Each airplane is printed on high-quality cardstock, too, so your paper airplanes are sure to last for hours of play." --AllFreeKidsCrafts blog "I can think of a handful of adult males: fathers, uncles, and teachers who would love this kit to work on with their young ones, or even just for themselves. I, as an adult female, don't usually get that excited about paper airplanes, but I was certainly delighted to see the cool, unique designs of the paper airplanes when I first opened this kit. [...] an excellent kit to build together by a parent-child team. Building and flying them together could lead to a great bonding experience." --Yuki's Origami Blog "Jaden recently started asking me to make him paper airplanes, but then I discovered that I'm terrible at it! my planes never seem to fly straight and seemingly fall apart mid-air. but these One Minute Paper Airplanes have come to my rescue. making these doodads take a little folding and stapling and voila, cool looking airplanes that actually fly. Perfect summer activity for the backyard." --Happily Everly After blog
