Most of the planes in the book were very easy to fly, and the children had fun making them. I also liked the extra activities and information included to help them learn more about flying.

My son just turned 8 and has really been having fun with this book recently. He got it as a gift when he was 5 (despite the recommended age range of 9+) and would always get frustrated when he tried to do one himself because he couldn't fold it as precisely as required and then it didn't turn out right. So he lost interest in it, but discovered it again recently - now he can do all of the airplanes himself and is having great fun. He does like to make paper airplanes out of just about anything, but this book has neat patterns and different shapes to try. Fun for littler ones too if they don't mind a grown up helping (and if you don't mind if they squish it after all your hard work!).

this was a Christmas gift for my 11 yr. old grandson. We have had so much fun doing this together and his father joined in to add even more fun. Winter has flown by much faster with this FAMILY TIME craft project. We are looking forward to logging our flight distances as soon as the weather warms a bit. Quiet time together becames lots of laughs and individual creative juices began to flow. who knew paper airplanes could be so much fun.

The paper in my printer has been stolen, all the loose paper in the house has gone the same route. Flying through the air and landing in various places like behind the couch, under the tables, into the closets, and onto the bookshelves.

They have some planes with preprinted pictures that I would have prefered they left out like a vampire and ghoul. I don't know why they have to make stuff which doesn't need to be scary.

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.

This is probably a good paper airplane book, but I'm assuming that the reviewers here who have small children are largely reading the book themselves and then showing their kids how to do it, or even just making the planes for the kids.

After taking a look inside the book, I'm having a hard time imagining that a typical 4-year-old is going to be able to read and understand it. I mean, before we build the plane, let's talk about stability and aerodynamics, shall we, Jr.? Please. Older kids will probably really enjoy this book, but the age range of 4-8 seems a bit off.

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!

I am using it with my children and we are having lots of fun!

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!"

The book had a lot of good airplanes that fly really well. I can't decide which one I like best. The instructions were fairly easy to follow. The book is so good, you should buy it to see the astonished look on your child's face.

I highly recommend this book. We bought this for our twin sons when they were 5, and then another copy to use as party favors when they turned 6. Now they need a third copy. Its great! Spend a few minutes with your kids, teach them to fold paper, and they will have a ball for hours.

I don't have a lot of patience or talent for putting things together. I bought this for my son when he was 5 and he loved it so much I bought it again when he was 6. The pages are just torn out and folded together easily and they fly great! My kids have had so much fun playing with these airplanes. This time around I'm going to try "World Record Paper Airplanes", but the "Kid's Paper Airplanes" was a big hit for us.

Bought this for my 10 year old. It is so cool. It is easy to use and provides lots of fun. I would highly recommend it.

My son is six and very interested in paper airplanes. The books we have checked out from the library are advanced and hard to follow. This book gives you the pattern complete with dotted lines for folding. We made four in under thirty minutes and they all flew! This is a great book for kids and adults with no mechanical knowledge or patience!

I bought this book for my son at age 5. We have been enjoying it for over a year! There are many types of planes to "build." The book provides enough tear-out pages to build each plane twice. It's a great way to spend a little time with your kids.

This book is really great. I bought it for my nephew to
give him this X-mas, so I can't say yet how a child would actually respond to it, but when I received it, I couldn't put it down. It teaches about how real airplanes fly, and also how to "tweak" your paper airplane for optimum performance. The designs are very cool and colorful and there's lots of them. It shows you how to fold them, etc. I am ordering another one for another child on my list.

I am a reading buddy at a local school. My little buddy didn't want to read, so I bought him this book. Now when I arrive, we read the instructions, make a plane and fly it. He looks forward to reading now and has learned how important it is to follow instructions as well as wanting to know how to use the index to look up his favorite plane, who the author is, etc.

Covers all types of airplanes and has colored designed pages that are removable and include directions on how to fold. After buying one, I have to buy another for my second boy and grandma wants to buy some for all the grandkids.

I like this book because it comes with its own paper airplanes that I can make. I also like it because all of the paper airplanes are very, very, very cool! I especially like "The Count."

This is a good paper plane book for kids. The pages are designed to be removed and used to make the different planes. My kids liked the colorful pages and decided to save the last copy of the idividual planes to use as a pattern to make their own planes. Warning! If you have young kids, you might want to take the pages out yourself
