Customer Reviews

A beautiful, well organized book to inspire your children.
The best thing about this book is it's terrific organization. The designs for each plane are shown on each page as you are working on it, and they are relatively easy to grasp. It is clear and well organized, with about 12 or more designs which repeat over the year on different stationary. My ten -year old got this book on request in July, and couldn't rest until he'd built every plane from January to the present date. He did experience a little frustration on one or two models, but when those planes came up again, he experienced the thrill that comes with mastery of a challenge. However, some of the simplest fly most beautifully. I particularly enjoyed the simple glider on paper printed with a butterfly pattern.

Caveat: There is one plane which has a fold which requires a little paper experience to understand, and two planes which involve taping on a wing that doesn't work.

My Awesome Paper Airplane calendar
I love this calendar, it's the second year in a row that I've bought it for my desk. Excellent ammo for office warfare.

Product was just as promised, arrived a little slower than I would have preferred (I think I was just antsy though), all around great!

Neat Little Planes but some are a little difficult
I bought this for a friend whom I work with in a call center figuring it could be fun to make planes and throw them around as a stress release. He has enjoyed the planes and each one is different from the last. One thing he said was that they are a little difficult to make some days, but he enjoys the challenge.
