This styrofoam glider makes an excellent "first flyer" for youngsters. With a giant two-foot wingspan, this glider might seem a little unwieldy, but it's actually an excellent flyer. Great pool side toy!

Good for children....!
This glider may be fine for children, but I noticed it did not perform as well as my previous foam glider (which was larger than this one). I tried adding some weight to the nose section to get it to fly faster and farther, but nothing seemed to work. So I will save it for my grandchildren to play with when they visit me again, and keep looking for a glider that will stay in the air for at least 50 feet when tossed in one direction!

fun for all ages
This foam glider plane is fun for people of all ages. My daughter, who is 5 and I take these to the park or out in our neighborhood and within minutes we have people of all ages wanting to play with it. It is easy to assemble, the stickers are fun. It takes a few tries to figure out how to throw it and it does amazing loop de loops and side loops and all kinds of crazy flying. In the wind, the flight patterns are crazier. It lands in all kinds of ways, sometimes glides like a proper airplane landing and sometimes does a spectacular crash landing with the wings falling off and bouncing all over. The kids run all around chasing it, putting it back together and then figure out whose turn it is next. The unpredictability of the flight and landing is part of what makes this toy so much fun. Kids learn about wind and flight patterns depending on how they launch it. These toys tend to break with lots of different people using them and crashing them, but only if we step on it do we actually render it unusable. They fix easy with duct tape. It needs space to fly and watch out for trees and roofs and balconies because it can get stuck in those places. For the price, it is a simple and fun toy, good for boys and girls of all ages. Great for parents like me who want to play too. I recommend having a few on hand in case it breaks or gets stuck high up somewhere.

Great Foam Glider
This product was a hit with my 5 year old grandsons. They managed to break it many times but masking tape and toothpicks held it together. After a week of constant use one plane was delegated as spare parts and the other flew on.

Fun while it lasted
My kids and I had alot of fun with this... until the tail and wings broke. It was easy to make new tail pieces out of cardboard and that allowed us to experiment with different designs, so that was actually a plus.

order extra. they break easily.
Ordered several of these for my 14 year old son's science fair project. Glad I ordered extra. I was surprised how quickly they broke. It had nothing to do with the project, they were only used to measure flight distance. Good luck!
