Product Description
This classic toy 4-pack isn’t just fun, it’s also educational. You get to put the helicopter together from scratch, too. Start by connecting all the parts as the back of the package shows. Then simply blow up the balloon, pinch it shut, and wrap it over the plastic tube. Toss it up into the air and watch the helicopter spin and propel itself further into the air. All the while, the escaping air makes the helicopter whistle. How cool!

Mike –
The first few times these things are great fun. But the balloons weaken around the neck or, being balloons, just break. It’s not easy to find exactly the right balloon replacement–needs to be medium sized with smallish neck in order to produce tight fit. Would be helpful if extra balloons were available on website.
