Summary

Fold and fly realistic paper airplanes with this easy origami kit.

Simple Origami Airplanes Mini Kit presents a collection of realistic origami paper airplanes from well-known author and paper aviation expert Andrew Dewar. Dewar has spent decades perfecting the art of folding easy paper airplanes that both look great and fly well. Simple Origami Airplanes Mini Kit features models with sturdy wings and fuselages—these designs are so perfectly balanced that a gentle throw results in amazing flights, time after time.

All the origami projects are designed to be simple enough to be considered "origami-for-kids" kits and can be assembled by beginning origami folders. Paper airplanes are a great way for children to learn origami and gain interest and appreciation for this fascinating art form. The flashy folding papers already have plane images printed on them, making the finished origami planes look as impressive as they fly. As a bonus, the accompanying DVD shows precise instructions and tips from the designer.
