Beautiful Press-Out Flying Butterflies Review & GIVEAWAY

Learn about and fly a kaleidoscope of butterflies with Beautiful Press-Out Flying Butterflies by Richard Merrill! There are 24 bright and striking butterflies in total. All pages are perforated for easy removal. To use, carefully punch out the butterfly, follow the folding instructions, add a coin for weight, then fly like a paper plane. Diagram and text instructions are included. All of these butterflies are larger than life but otherwise realistic. They have an almost nine-inch wingspan! Both top and underside wing patterns are illustrated in full color. In addition each butterfly comes with a snippet of information including genus, Greek name, habitat, coloring, diet and other interesting facts. You will need a coin and 2 pieces of tape for each butterfly. The book says to use a nickel, however there is a correction on the authors website that says "Use a penny instead of a nickel weight for a smoother flight!" This book is perfect for budding lepidopterists (butterfly experts) and nature lovers. I've assembled my first butterfly and am off to test fly it! Dover Publications released this 48 page paperback on February 13, 2019. Get your copy below!

One Minute Paper Airplanes Review & Giveaway

Welcome to the Christmas in July Giveaway Hop hosted by Review Wire Media. My prize is Tuttle Publishing's One Minute Paper Airplanes by Andrew Dewar. The kit includes 12 pop-out paper airplanes, easily assembled in under a minute, a 32 page full-color instruction book and super-charged catapult launcher. My boyfriend Graham and I worked on the kit. I folded and he stapled the paper planes together, then we headed outside. We were amazed at how high and far the airplanes went. I squealed with delight as the planes shot up and zoomed through the air, changed direction, glided or swooped and plunged to the ground. Exciting and thrilling! Hours of learning, outdoor activity and fun. Get your kit below and make sure to stop by The Review Wire for a chance to win the grand prize, a Fathead Wall Decal of your choice!
