DJECO Planes Origami Paper Craft Kit – Level 3

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.

My 9 year old loves this set. It has plenty of replicas. But the instructions are very easy and hours of fun to play.

Really cute little kit. The paper is really pretty and the finished products are very nice.The paper is thicker than usual oragami paper. Its more like regular paper-- overfolding will cause tears.This kit is not for first-timers. The instructions are pretty good, but even with experience, I was a little lost a few times.Overall happy with the kit.

Need to distract mind from exams and this is entertaining

The product itself was great! Quality paper and fun designs. Unfortunately, the package arrived completely crunched on one side, so the product inside was also crunched on that side. I was unable to use for a gift, as I had intended.

My 6 and eight year old grandboys loved these. A good challenge for them to put together and they fly excellently.

I like Djeco products overall, and this in particular I used for my daughter’s art theme bday together with Lego Dots cupcake, the kids enjoyed both

Great quality, also one of the cheapest paper airplane kits available for kids. Comes with 20 pages, extra pilot stickers and instructions. They fly great too!
