Next Generation Paper Airplanes Kit: Engineered for Extreme Performance, These Paper Airplanes are Guaranteed to Impress: Kit with Book, 32 origami

These paper airplanes are engineered for extreme performance and are guaranteed to impress. Noted paper engineer Sam Ita has deconstructed and re-engineered a collection of paper airplane projects to create a series of innovative, never-before-seen folding patterns. Sam kept the step-by-step folding instructions straightforward enough for even beginners to get in on the fun. With the included instructional DVD and enough custom-designed folding paper to make 56 planes, this kit has everything you need to get these fresh flyers soaring in no time at all. This paper airplanes kit contains: Full-color 48 page booklet - Clear, step-by-step diagrams and instructions - 12 airplane models - 56 pre-printed, high-quality origami paper sheets - Instructional DVD All media content is alternatively accessible on the Tuttle Publishing website.

Let dad have fun with them and keep the kids busy this summer with these paper airplane books and kits. They'll be having fun, all while keeping their brains active and learning some great STEM skills…shhhh, don't tell them!" -- JavaJohnz.com Born in 1978, Sam Ita grew up in a small town near the Canadian border. His fascination with paper airplanes began at an early age when he attended a paper airplane contest held at the Kingdome in Seattle, WA. From the stands, thousands of contestants would throw airplanes with the goal of landing theirs closest to the center of a prize target. Hardcore competitors purchased stacks of paper and brought homemade launchers and other tools. Sam found himself woefully ill-prepared, with only half a dozen sheets to fold. Sam watched his attempts fail one after the other, the planes not even clearing the stands below. Regardless of the outcome, the activity was incredibly fun, and Sam was hooked for life. He went on to study graphic design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. After graduating, Sam answered a classified ad, which led to his first paper engineering job. Sam now works for master paper engineer and acclaimed children's book creator, Robert Sabuta.
