Playing games is an integral part of every person’s life. The game is very important for growing up the child, because children fully concentrate to it, they have a great joy during the play and their approach to the game is free and spontaneous.
During the play, a child often uses some toy, which should fulfill a certain standards. It should be easy to use, have visual and aesthetic quality, be properly adjusted for the child’s hand, have vivid colors and its construction should be easily understandable. In addition to that, every toy should be firm and well shaped, so the child could not hurt itself. Glues and paints should be stable, without smell and above all harmless substances. Toys designed for the younger kids should be larger and simpler, because small children have limited skills of toy manipulation. The composite toys are suitable for the older children. The most important quality of toy for any child’s age is its well-planned function.
This wooden toy can be covered with lacquer or painted in any color. They are ecologically acceptable, give an impression of warmth and children are glad to play with them.
This is the plan for manufacturing a simple plane toy for your child. The whole structure can be made at home for a relatively short time. You can use various types of wood, but we recommend birch, beech, maple, alder...
If you choose to protect the surface of your project with wood paint or lacquer, be careful to use only substances that are safe and harmless for your child.
Carefully make the parts of the plane by the measurements given on particular pictures. The measurements are given in millimeters, while the measurements given in inches are in brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).
After making all the parts of the plane, you should join them with glue. Be careful with dosage of glue, because it could come out from the holes and smear the surface of an object.

Assemblage Instructions
1. Horizontal tail (Item 2) and Vertical tail (Item 3) attach with glue to the Fuselage (Item 1) and leave it to dry out.

If you think that the wing is not well firmed to the Fuselage, you should drill a hole (25 mm depth; D8mm diameter) and put the dowel with the same dimensions (Length 25 mm, Diameter D8mm) into it. Previously bedaub the pin with glue.

|
3. Put the glue into the holes on the upper surface of Lower wing (Item 6), then stick the Vertical support (Item 8) into it.
|
 |
 |
4. Also put the glue into the holes on the lower side of the Upper wing (Item 7) and stick the Vertical support (Items 8) into it.

5. Pull the Axle (Item 4) through the Propeller (Item 5), and if the Propeller is spinning with difficulty, widen the hole on the Propeller with a rasp.
|
 |
 |
If you have performed the previous step properly, all that is left is to attach the Axle (Item 4) and Propeller (Item5) with glue to the Fuselage (Item 1). Pull the Axle (Item 4) through a hole on the Propeller (Item5) and attach with glue onto front hole on the Fuselage (Item 1) (previously put some glue into the hole). Be careful, not to put any glue on the Propeller (Item5), because it should spin freely.
