For some of you the kids are back in school (bah),
and for others, they are seriously bored with 3 weeks to go.
Sigh, no win either way, right?
So how about something that will not only keep them occupied, BUT teach some serious science concepts, and NOT make a mess on your dining table, or take over the front room?
Meet your new secret weapon:
Stunt Planes are the hottest New Award Winning Outdoor Toy by Stomp Rocket! Launched in late 2017 and designed by Aeronautical engineers, Stunt Planes will keep kids excited while learning STEM principals! Kids won't even realize they're learning about trajectory by changing the launch angle of Stunt Planes, or about force, when stomping harder or softer. And they'll discover how aerodynamics work too, by launching Stunt Planes with a head wind, a tail wind, a cross wind or no wind at all!
Stomp Rocket® Stunt Planes Includes:
- 3 Unique Planes – You get THREE amazing Stunt Planes, which look and fly very differently. Looper makes giant loops. Wildcat flips, turns and soars. Glider does tricks and glides over 100 feet!
- Stomper with Air Hose- You also get the foot stomper with attached air hose, that pushes air up into the stunt planes, making them take off from the launch stand
- Launch Stand- this fold-able base lets kids move the trajectory up, down and at different angles, for more fun!
You can unpack this Stunt Planes set in your backyard, at the park, at the playground, at campsites, or even at family gatherings, for safe, year-round fun for kids of all ages. Trust me, even the adults will want to get in on this one! And with NO batteries or anything to put together, set up literally takes one minute from boxed to flying! This set is 100% kid powered- that means the force of their jump depends on how far their plane will fly.
You can see how much fun Miss Grace was having, and these planes FLY! That's Looper in the video, making some crazy stunt flybys! Glider actually got the most height- about 14 feet straight up, and flew the farthest, but it was more fun watching Wildcat's stunts! As kids keep playing with the set, they learn important scientific concepts, that will ignite their curiosity and might just get them wanting to check out some more science!
You can purchase the Stunt Planes! set online at Stomp Rocket, or at local retailers like Walmart, Target and Dick's Sporting Goods! If you go online you can also purchase squeeze rockets, that make great take home gifts, if you're using the Stunt Planes! Set at a birthday party!
And it is easy to get kids THINKING scientifically, thanks to the available Stompin' Science Book!
This book features 10 SCIENCE lessons for kids ages 6 and up, using the Stomp Rocket Planes! About two thirds are elementary level, with the rest being junior high/high school level. Plus it includes sample Science Fair projects using the planes!
Each lesson teaches a different scientific concept, then has different activities and experiments to teach and explore it. It also features space and logs for kids to RECORD their findings, and understand the scientific method!
My mini scientist fell in love with the idea and quickly sought different means of evaluating the different theories, about how the planes were built, and why they acted as they did, no matter what the force or height of trajectory used. I LOVE it when she puts different ideas together and sees the big picture- it makes me wonder if she will go into engineering in college!
This is great for any classroom, but especially for homeschoolers, as it gets the kids outside and putting what they've learned into practical hands on experiments that don't make you go hunting for odd materials! We can't recommend it enough for lots of FUN (and lots of learning!)
