Djeco - Planes *

Bought these for my five year old grandson as he loves to fly the planes made by Grandad. Now my grandson can make and fly his own (with a bit of help!!).

My son has just got into origami.This kit is lovely. All the folds are marked on the paper (as well as the decorations) and the instructions are easy to follow.We were surprised at just how well the planes flew when made.Extra 'people' to pilot the planes are provided in the kit too.Good value for money

Bought this for my brother and nephew (4 yrs old) to do together and they loved it, different interesting plane designs for my brother to work out and fun pictures and pilots for my nephew to choose. Then they had a fun few hours throwing them around the house trying to work out which flew best.

Christmas present was enjoyed

as described. All the family had fun making these at christmas. Various degrees of difficulty so suitable for adults and older children. Packaged well. Arrived as promised

Really had fun with this one. Given as a present to a 7 year old but fun had by all the 'overgrown boys' too, a great buy

Great fun, bought for our Granddaughter aged 6yrs. We love the retro illustrations . Another great toy from DJECO

My grandsons really enjoy making the aeroplane origami and they are very good flyers! Something more calming in this very Tec age.

Se lo compre a mi hija mayor hace años y ahora repito con mi hijo.

Habe das Produkt im Laufe der letzten 8 Jahre schon mehrmals gekauft und auch verschenkt. Für mich das beste und schönste Paket an Papierfliegern. Einfache verständliche Anleitung in Farbbildern in einem Heft. Ergebnis: Super und fliegt.

Mon petit fils (4 ans) a vraiment apprécié cette activité ! Joli moment pour plier ces petits avions ! Comme d'habitude, pas d'erreur avec la qualité DJECO !

Ci siamo divertiti molto con il mio bimbo di 4 anni a realizzare e personalizzare gli aeroplanini e fare gare di velocità- Ogni aeroplanino ha le sue particolarità di volo.Passatempo molto carino che sviluppa l'ingegno. Per gli aeroplanini un po' più complessi c'era bisogno del genitore.

We received this as a gift for my almost 4yr old last Christmas and it has lasted for about a year with it's off and on usage. As there are only a few designs (4-5?) that are repeated, our son has made a few, played with them, forgot about them, and then at a later date rediscovered them and made a few more, forgot about them... and so on. It has been fun to watch his development as he gets better at making them as he is now almost 5yrs old. We enjoyed this creative gift enough that we have since purchased more on our own as gifts for other friends and family.Pros:1) Fun generic cartoon graphics that aren't over the top (I'm not a huge fan of Marvel, DC, or other "brand specific" merchandise, so this is nice)2) Simple fold lines and markings make folding fairly strait forward. It also comes with color instructions for each design.3) Ingenious "sticker pilot" helps hold the final fold together keeping the paper plane from opening back up.4) Perfect weight of paper as it is not too thick that it's hard to fold, but still thick enough that durability is decent for it being made of paper.5) Aerodynamics, weight, & balance of folded plane gives good flight performance. As long as it decently resembles the final shape it's supposed to be, it will fly.Cons:1) Some of the fold lines don't make immediate sense, but after figuring them out I don't know if I could have made it better. (i.e. there are limitations to 2D instructions for 3D objects)2) While there is enough paper to make 20 pre-designed planes, there are only 4 or 5 designs. I forget if there were 4 designs with 5 papers per design, or 5 designs with 4 papers per design. Not a huge Con, but I felt it would have been more fun to have less repeats and more different variations, even if it was the same fold with different colors/prints.3) Not really a Con, since it's hardly false advertising, but they are paper, and paper doesn't last forever. I have noted a few lucky ships that have lasted a number of weeks though despite their abuse.
