5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant pack, October 8, 2009

I recently attended a family wedding and during a quiet time during the meal this pack was produced and it was a wow! Every one could make one and wizz it around the room. And then there were lots more to build and fly. Fortunately some people had scissors or penknives as some planes needed cutting. Lots of different shapes.
A wonderful activity for any party! Oh yes you could even use it for telling you the day of the year but we did not wait!!

This is a fabulous gift for age 5 and up. Each page can quickly be made into a tiny paper air plane with just a few folds. My five grandsons love to make them,line them up, and fly them. Younger kids need a litte instruction about the dot and dash lines and that's all. Marvelous idea.

The calendar is a great gift idea, and the colors for each plane are very cool. However, the directions for folding the paper airplanes are a little complicated for a 1st grader. It will take a little help from a parent to get started.
