Great Birthday Gift That Never Goes Out of Style! November 19, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I first bought one of these for my then 6 yo son. He enjoyed it so much that I bought one for his friend's birthday. Finally, the light bulb went off and I bought a bunch more to have instant gifts for the plethora of birthday parties he gets invited to during the year. Boy, am I glad I did that! The cost is great, no one else ever gives the same gift, it is easily transportable, doesn't require batteries, entertains for hours without beeping or playing annoying music, and is educational (Okay, I admit that "educational" can be the kiss of death for a kid gift, but The Kids' Paper Air Plane Book is a fun gift that happens to incorporate some educational value, not some geeky educational bore of a toy that is briefly entertaining). Even the stray kid who didn't seem to "get it" at first, soon fell in love with this book. I am about to order 6 more. I need another 2 for my boys (ages 6 and 9) and 4 more as gifts. These never go out of style. BTW, I turn into Cool Mom whenever I am able to help them with any plane struggles. That doesn't happen to my 9 yo anymore. He now even makes his own awesome airplanes out of plain paper, while his non-plane-making peers look on in amazement! Definitely a gift winner! It's also easy to wrap, which is no small thing in this world of oddly-shaped packages.

Our seven-year-old boy loves to make these paper airplanes at his desk in his room. The book has so many styles, there are plenty to share with his little sister and brother. He can easily reconstruct the styles in the book on regular sheets of paper.
He even got a first place trophy for his science fair project at school using four different plane ideas from this book. His project was "Does the length of an airplane's wings affect how long (in time) it can fly?"
A great, colorful book.

Fantastic book for kids over 40! (I'm a kid 65 and shared it with a kid who was 80. Lots of fun. Also sharing with my Grandchild, 6 years of age, but needs some help. More fun!
 Very good book September 22, 2005

Enjoyed the book ... I teach middle school science at an inner city school for poverty level boys, and one of our units is on flight ... we start with paper, "promote" to balsa wood ... then on to Estes Rockets, and finally remote control. This book will definately improve our paper airplane "section!"
