POPLAY 40 Sets Outdoor Toys Flying Discs, Disc Flyer with Launchers for Party Favors, Classroom Prizes, Goodie Bags Stuffers for Kids

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.

Bought these to stuff the party favor bags for my 8yr old's birthday party which will be at a park. I was worried that the kids would find it boring since they are getting older and normally love digital toys but this was a pure, simple delight. Both my 8yr old and 10 yr old have played with them in the house, multiple times since we opened the box. The 10yr old took it outside the next day to see how much air he could get. The party has not happened yet, so I am not sure how durable they will be. But now I am confident that it will be one of the popular things in the party favor bags. So far, great value for the price and easy to use.

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.

Hands down the most well-behaved flying toy ever. The flying part is so lightweight that I allow these toys anywhere in the house. Doesn't upset the dog and our ceiling fans don't even notice if they tap one. It could maybe knock a lightweight item off a shelf, but my knickknacks and photo frames have deflected this toy repeatedly. Literally less risk of damage than a paper airplane, and way more fun. It's cheap plastic, but after a month of play we've only had to toss out a couple cracked pieces. For what they cost, our neighborhood kids have literally played for hours. Excellent value for party favors and giveaways.

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.

Purchased for a student to use for preferred activity break. He loves these. Unfortunately, the spinner peice breaks very easily. We've gone through 2 packs in less than two months. My teacher salary can't sustain purchasing more every 2 months.

The only thing to keep in mind is to make sure you order more than you will need with the expectation that some will be unusable because of malformed plastic due to the cheap quality. In my package about 10 % were put into the trash. So why the 5 stars?? I had to provide a fun activity for all ages, and these were a HUGE hit! Everyone from pre-schoolers through teens to grandparents had a blast with them, and they were inexpensive enough to lose some and still be worth it. So yes, they are cheap-o, but I will definitely be ordering again for next year's picnic. One more note: I don't know why they say "pull,-string" in the description; no strings are involved. UPDATE: Ordered again a few months later and none were broken this time! UPDATE, 2021: None broken, but strangely they didn't fly very high this time. Also the colors were pastel instead of bright primary colors. Disappointing. I might try again another time.

My 4 year old grandson thought this was the neated toy! He couldn't get it to fly as high as an adult can but he can work on that. He LOVED seeing it fly and chasing it to try to catch it. This one lasts the test of time for all generations! Inexpensive and great fun for everyone.

Bought this as a birthday present for a 10-year old kid. All kids ended up playing with it at the party. Big success!

Excellent value

Bought these to bring as Xmas stocking stuffer gifts to a school in Ecuador. I love them. They work great and for the price they are perfect.
