Description
This paper planes origami kit gives young makers everything they need to fold their own fleet of bright card planes and send them flying. Inside are 20 double-sided origami sheets printed in four plane designs, a sheet of pilot stickers and a little pilot handbook with easy to follow instructions. The sheets come in bold red, yellow and blue, marked with dotted fold lines and numbered steps. Each finished plane carries cheerful pilots peering out of round windows, along with stars, lightning flashes and rocket boosters. The largest plane folds to 30cm long, 10cm wide and 5cm high, and the smallest to 18cm long, 15cm wide and 4cm high.
It is a lovely way to fill a rainy afternoon at the kitchen table or a quiet hour after school, and the planes can head straight out to the hallway or the garden for test flights. Folding is a hands on way to practise following steps and making careful creases, and the reward arrives the moment a finished plane leaves the hand. With four designs to choose from, friends and family can each build a different plane and see whose glides furthest. It also makes a cheerful, easy gift for children who love aeroplanes, rockets and making things with their own hands.
Everything is printed card, so the planes take a crisp crease and hold their shape well between flights. No scissors or glue are needed: each sheet is folded by hand along its printed lines, then the pilot stickers go into the cockpit to finish the plane. Card is happiest kept dry, so save the flying for indoors or a dry day, and store spare sheets flat in the box to keep them crisp. We think the slim kit slips easily into a bag for a long journey or a visit to the grandparents.
