Great toy for my Son age 5 and Nephew age 8. They loved putting the gliders together and flying them wherever we would let them. These turned out to be one of the best and least expensive gifts for Christmas. They are no more durable than you would expect for a foam glider so I gave each of them a hand full and my son is still flying the couple that arn't broke. I kept a bunch for rewards when he's good and special occasions when I need to distract him and his friends.

We bought these as favors for my son's "airplane" party and they fit the occasion perfectly. They aren't durable - after 10 or 20 tosses the foam starts denting and they don't fly well (if at all). But for the price, I didn't expect them to last long. They remind me of the dime-store plastic parachuters I bought and threw off the balcony as a kid - we would lose them after a few throws and run to buy more. There are a ton in the box and it's nothing to put them together, just grab another one and go again! We had a great time with these and I kept a bunch for the big boys. (I think my husband and father-in-law had more fun than the kids.) I thought it was cute that they come in different designs.

Note the plastic choking hazard and watch the little ones. Don't expect these to last but enjoy them while they do.

For the price, you can't beat these. We used them as decorations and favors for a baby boy's shower - everyone loved playing with and throwing them and the adults loved talking about the historical significance of each of the types of planes. Putting them together was a bit tedious and the foam board was easy to bend. I wouldn't suggest these for long-term use; it was perfect for the afternoon, though.
