I worked on this with my 5-year-old, who obviously couldn't have finished it on her own, but this is a very well-made model with nice, clear instructions and lots of things for a younger child to do! For instance, the various dowels are called for by length, so she got to sort all of the dowels and check the lengths when we used them. And the overall assembly, while it needed some direction from me, was great because the gluing and assembly were very straightforward. I'd definitely recommend this kit for a fun parent/child project! ## Features - WHAT IS IT? The Leonardo davinci ornithopter is a multi faceted arts and crafts dyi project.

Canadian company, factory in Taiwan http://www.pathfindersdesignandtechnology.com/about/ About Us Pathfinders Design and Technology designs and manufactures wooden science kits for educational and recreational use. We are located in Metchosin, just outside of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Our chief educator, Derek Wulff, teaches classes in the Victoria area, and does guest spots for science fairs and workshops across Canada, most recently with the Nellie McClung Girl’s Jr High program Science fair in Edmonton. We spend time with kids in schools, making and using the kits to see how well they deliver curriculum for teachers, and to make sure they are engaging and appropriate for both fun play and educational aspects. So far so good! We like to work with other local companies. Our manufacturer in Taiwan is a local family-run factory, and most of our stores are neighbourhood toy stores, supporting local and small business people (not actually short, but you know what we mean). We do sell to some larger companies, like Lee Valley tools, Hobby Lobby, Scholars Choice and Mastermind, but they have set standards for excellence so we are excited to work with them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly like the pictures *by J***N on October 27, 2025* Perfect, exactly like the pictures ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great family fun! *by D***E on July 2, 2014* This was a great father/daughter project!
