Star Wars Folded Flyers

The instructions and color coding on how to fold the ships is so awesome and easy to understand! They did a superb job creating this book. Love that there is multiple of the same ships to make for any jealous siblings or ship casualties. Also two thumbs way up for the “if your ship isn’t flying right adjust this” troubleshooting. This is a MUST have for a Star Wars Kiddo. And the ships fly well too! My son is 8 and could do them himself, but prefers to have my help so it’s more precise.

We bought this for our resident 8-year old Star Wars fan, and I will not gloss over the fact that making these flyers, at least for him, requires the active "assistance" of an older person. In reality, that means that I am the actual one making the flyer and that my son is the assistant (he's in charge of cutting and the dispensing of tape, as needed). So, you ask, Why should I get this for my kid? Simply put, it's a great way to spend some one-on-one time with your kid, that doesn't actually involve staring at a TV screen or playing video games. Sure, at first, I inwardly grumbled to myself about having yet another thing to do, in addition to my normal parent/family job. However, once we got going on the first flyer (X-wing), we became really absorbed in it through making sure the folds were just right, the cuts were just so, and that the tape went on the right spot, all the while with each flyer my son is learning to hold back and wait for his job, and for some of the easier folds, he actually gets to do those, too. He looks to me with a degree of admiration, not that I was seeking that, for having helped him make these really cool flyers to aid in the creation of his own Star Wars battles, and the beauty of it is that we have another tool to bond closer together. The Basics: Star Wars Folded Flyers is not origami, although, as the name indicates, folding is involved, as well as cutting and taping. The instructions and graphics are quite clear, and do require close scrutinization for accuracy, otherwise, the planes won't fly very well. Some of the folding, even with the aid of a recommended ruler, requires some hard pressing when folding multiple layers of paper. Accurate cutting skills is also required. There are pages at the back of the book that tear-out, and are imprinted in such a way that they come to look like the ultimate finished ship, and a bonus is that there are more than one of the flyers to make, so that more can be enjoyed as they get bashed flying around, or in case you mess-up on the construction. The end results are some pretty cool paper airplanes to fly around the house.

My eight year old grandson loved this Star Wars Book Kit. Not only is the kit fun but it is durable so should last.

I thought my grandson (9) would enjoy making these. He has had them for a while, but barely used them. Giving 4 stars as I still think it is a good product. But in this day and age with so many toy options, I misjudged that he would enjoy and play these.

Boys loved this book! Highly recommend! Will purchase for friends as birthday gifts! (Something other than a toy!!)

My son loves star wars and making paper airplanes! Saving for Christmas but he is going to love this!

My 6yo loves this book! He is interested in origami lately, and this book is much easier to follow than several others we have tried. I occasionally have to help him with a step or two, but he is fairly independent with it. The ships actually fly well, and they look super cool! the quality of this book has exceeded my expectations.

My son suddenly developed a fear of flying in so far as he didn't think something as big and awkward as a jet passenger plane could actually fly. Nevermind the fact that we live close enough to LAX for him to see airplanes taking of and landing at least once a week when we drive past the airport. So I got this book of paper airplanes to see if making a flat sheet of paper fly could change his mind back in time for a decent summer vacation. He's 5 and his sister is 7 and they both loved the paper planes in this book. The star wars designs are pretty cool, and the simpler models they could each fold on their own with a little help from me. The more complicated ones, like the Falcon and TIE Advanced, I ended up doing most of the folding and cutting, but the kids still enjoyed playing with them. As far as my son's fear of flying, I have no idea if the book did the trick or what, but he wants to get on a plane now.

Ein muss wer Spaß hat am Papierflieger basteln. Darin enthalten sind insgesamt 6 Flieger aus Star Wars und das je 5 Stück. Also jeder Flieger kann fünf mal gebaut werden und tatsache fliegen sie richtig und bringen auch noch einen Ständer (zum selbst falten) mit wo man je ein Modell präsentieren kann. Das Buch ist zwar komplett in englisch,was aber nicht stört, denn es ist jeder Handgriff einzeln beschrieben mit Bilder. Ebenso sind Faltkanten und -flächen farbig markiert und somit kann man problemlos Flieger basteln.Auch die benötigten kleinen Klebestreifen sind hinten im Buch enthalten. Die Papierbögen sind fertig bedruckt, so das am Ende der Flieger auch optisch wie der von Star Wars aussieht mit allen Farben und auch Triebwerken Erfolg ist garantiert und Spaß auch mit Kindern.

Excelente! La calidad de la impresión es fantástica. Las instrucciones son muy claras y te explican incluso cómo lanzar la nave. El papel que viene incluido para hacer las naves funciona muy bien. Las naves vuelan muy bien! A mí hijo le encantó! Muy recomendable.

Per entusiasti della galassia Lucas sempre alla ricerca di nuovi pretesti per liberare la fantasia. Il testo, in lingua Inglese, contiene il necessario per realizzare sei riproduzioni volanti dei più conosciuti modelli di caccia stellari presenti nei film. Ogni modello è realizzabile, utilizzando i fogli prestampati presenti nel libro, in cinque esemplari. La qualità della carta è adeguata all'esigenza di eseguire correttamente le differenti fasi di piegatura, molto ben illustrate con testo e immagini, per ottenere un oggetto con il peso ottimale per essere lanciato a mano e sostenersi nell'aria. I velivoli utilizzabili sia al chiuso che all'aperto, possono effettuare a seconda della conformazione del modello, specifiche evoluzioni e figure in volo, molto divertenti. Naturalmente essendo costruiti con la carta, sono per forza di cose, deperibili e a costante rischio di crash. La consegna è risultata celere, l'imballo ottimale ed il prezzo comprensivo di spedizione, competitivo con quello dei bookshop dove è possibile acquistare direttamente.

My lad loves these ever at 28yrs old. Instructions easy to follow and they fly

amazing my son and I love doing these
