Erector Design - Helicopter

Product Description

The Erector Design - Helicopter features 82 parts, including flexible metal pieces, to make 1 model. Detailed pictoral-based instructions and tools are included. Collect all design starter kits (excavator, all terrain vehicle (ATV), helicopter, sidecar, snowmobile, and speedboad) to build bonus catamaran model.

Few metal construction toys have stood the test of time as well as Erector sets. First conceived in the early 1900s, they are now updated to include contemporary, futuristic models. Today's sets still exhibit the same exacting standards and fine construction techniques that Erector kits are well known for. Erector sets go beyond their plastic construction counterparts like Legos in their advanced used of tools, real nuts and screws, and exacting building techniques.

Stimulating a child's imagination and intelligence, these timeless building sets give your child pride and satisfaction as they they use their hands and mind to build working models.

Benefits

Construction or building kits like Erector Design - Helicopter are highly engaging - challenging children to go beyond basic construction by exploring realistic building techniques. Metal parts and tools allow children to experience actual construction - providing a more realistic and satisfying creative experience

More importantly, building kits help children develop lifelong thinking and creative skills. Due to their highly active (versus passive) nature, they are great alternatives to video games and television. Building activities not only strengthen problem-solving skills, but also help develop discipline, follow-through and organization skills. Seeing a project from beginning to end gives kids a sense of accomplishment and lasting confidence.

Not for children under 3 due to very small parts.

Manufacturer / Safety Compliance

In 1898, in a little workshop in Liverpool, Frank Hornby created a nuts and bolts toy that is now known as the Erector/ Meccano construction sets. Hornby patented his nuts and bolts assembling system and marketed his first set under the name « Mechanics Made Easy ». The name “Meccano” made its appearance in 1907.

Today the Meccano / Erector line is well-beloved by construction kit enthusiasts for its exacting standards, futuristic parts, and realistic tools. Erector sets with its metal structural parts feature stronger components that are held together by real nuts and screws. They are the next step up from the limitations of plastic. With its metal construction materials and fasteners, children can extend their imagination by experimenting with 3D shapes and abstract forms. Erector sets are ideal for children who have gone beyond Legos and simple construction kits.
