POPLAY Twisty Pull String Flying Saucers/Helicopters,40 PCS

I am an elementary school teacher. I let kids buy prizes with school currency that they have earned. I have gone through a number of different kinds of party toys. Some are winners. Some are duds. This one is a winner at about 40 cents a unit. My second graders (@7yrs.) can easily manipulate them with a minimum of instruction. Kids can break them easily if they use their full force and push on the helicopter spinner. But it really does not take much force to get them flying good. And if you explain and demonstrate that kids will have many enjoyable flights justifying 40 cents. They are even more fun with a group and flying everywhere. They fly well indoors and outdoors. They are a hit in my class and a bargain. The more expensive pull string copters are also popular. They cost about $1 or more. They don’t really fly any better. The copter spinners are a little more sturdy. But I think the launcher is more prone to break than this low tech device. Since it is really only a toy of the moment, I would go with this cheaper version. The fun is the same.

The kids loved them!

Fun and easy to use toy. They are cheaply made, but work well. Good for age 4+. Good for price. Sticks are sometimes bent and it's hard to tell which side of helicopter is "up" side for kids to get it right. Otherwise, good toys.

Lots of fun. A little hard for younger children until they get the hang of it. Older ones absolutely loved them

My students last year and my students this year absolutely loved these flyers. I do too. They are fun. I recommend using them in an inside large room. They fly so well that, if you use them outside, you may never see them again. We've flown them a lot inside my classroom and haven't damaged anything in the room. They are made from very light-weight plastic so it doesn't take long before the flying part breaks, but a lot of fun has had before that.
