These days, toys are about way more than just looking cool. When they are handed the coolest new toy there is, kids immediately ask: “What does it do?”
Construction sets challenge kids to spend a few hours following instructions to build something that looks incredible—but with the Laser Pegs Super Copter, kids will love what it does once it’s built.
The Super Copter kit includes 205 interlocking pieces that kids can use to build up 30 different models, including an airliner, a space shuttle, a solar voyager, and even some animals, like the alligator, blue jay, and bullfrog. The kit includes instructions for the Super Copter itself, and kids can visit laserpegs.com to download the additional manuals for the other models.
The 25-page Super Copter instruction manual features a step-by-step breakdown of how to build this substantially sized helicopter, as well as a full list of all of the bricks and pieces kids will need to complete their creation. The instructions are color-coded so kids will find the right bricks with complete ease while they build. The manual is completely visual and doesn’t feature any words, so even kids who aren’t strong readers will be able to complete this set with ease.
The 36 Laser Pegs bricks, which make this entire set light up once it’s built, are used to construct the helicopter itself, and kids will integrate these special blocks in as they build with the standard, more familiar brick shapes (which are fully compatible with other building bricks on the market). The Laser Pegs form an electricity circuit throughout the build, stealthily teaching kids about some STEM basics while they play.
The Super Copter comes together in three separate pieces, each of which resembles a mini airplane on its own, forming one giant Super Copter once connected (hence the name). Then, kids lock their entire creation into the battery-operated power base to activate the lighting effects.
The Super Copter appears to be taking off, balancing expertly on the power base and giving off a cool illusion when on display. Once kids press the red button, the entire copter will light up, and even respond to kids’ voices. The base features three different lighting effect modes, including slow and fast flashes. The propellers really spin, and the build is sturdy enough to withstand some fun imaginative play as well.
And of course, when kids get tired of their really awesome Super Copter (never), they can take the entire thing apart to build something completely new. The perfect STEM learning toy for any grade-schooler, this kit will take fun and education sky high.
