Hey flight fanatics! Are you ready to build four awesome rubber band powered ornithopters that imitate the flapping wings of birds, insects and bats? Let's get started! Learn about how birds and bees fly, and how their wings generate lift. Ornithopters are simply mechanical flying machines!

With this educational kit, you can build a mechanical flying bird, bat, butterfly and dragonfly with a durable, lightweight bamboo and plastic building system. Build the components, wind up the rubber bands and let them fly as you learn about weight distribution, thrust and drag!

Your kit includes: 49 ultra-light pieces including wings, tails, rubber bands, stickers and a 16 page full colour workbook.

You will also need a test flying area at least 30 metres long, as well as a pen and some sticky tape.

Recommended for ages 8 and up (adult assistance may be required).

I purchased astronaut food and a prank golf ball for my 15 year old son, as stocking fillers for Christmas. Amazing. They arrived quick. Well packaged. And I know my son will love them. I hope I get to try some of the astronaut food. I have never seen that before. If not... I will be placing an order after Christmas for more. ...

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage. CoolThings communicated the order and shipping details promptly, and items were sent and received quickly. Happy to recommend CoolThings and now that I know of them will likely purchase again....

My goods were exactly what I expected, I was told exactly where my parcel was and how long it would take to get to me. Everything was just so cool, as the name suggests. Love your stuff, it's so different....
