Difficult but fun

A little difficult to get it to work but I succeeded. The wings flap just right, and it's quite nice, especially after adding color with felt tip pens.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Modern

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

It would be nice if they just included that size in the kit instead of trying to tie a knot in the correct size elastic. All instructions are pictures, but some…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Empty
