Toy Airplanes
Via Make
My kids and I have made a number of these airplanes while on vacation at the Chautauqua Institute. I remember two years ago when the bookstore didn’t carry them, and it was one of the most disappointing discoveries for all the kids (myself included). I love these planes. I wish I could nail down a memory from my youth, playing with these planes, but it seems like I was always spending my allowance at the local Lawsons or 7-eleven on one of these planes, or a cap-gun.
I love the toy planes for their simplicity, and the sheer joy that comes with watching it soar overhead. The gliders are fun, but my heart has always belonged to the “motorplanes.” Local suppliers typically only sell two or three models. Its nice to know I can get a complete set of their wind up motorplanes for only $27.74. That’ll make for a fun summer Saturday!
