Quality Time? Try Building Plastic Model Airplanes

In some instances, it is normally difficult to have some quality time with your young ones. This is especially if you do not have a game console in your possession. If you are in this predicament, you may consider introducing to your children the joy of aircraft modelling, meaning assembling and painting model plastic airplanes. Other than the benefit of quality time, assembling model planes kits also develops your child’s vital skills which he may use later in life.

These include:
• Planning and Decision-making (This stems from the need to choose between the step-by-step aircraft modeling option and the assembly-and-painting options)
• Patience (Due to the need to wait for the glue to dry and harden)
• Hand-eye Coordination (This is far greater and more efficient than the much-touted button mashing hand-eye coordination)
• Perseverance (This is built by consistently working through the intricate processes of assembling a model)



You may generally be wary of your child’s age and suitability to work this particular plastic model airplane. You need not worry at all. This is because model planes are generally designed in a very broad range of difficulty levels and ages in mind. What’s more? Some companies even develop and sell models that are snapped together and as such require no gluing or painting.

Moreover, this particular aircraft modeling hobby is also cheaper and affordable to venture in. For just a little amount of money, your children and you will leverage the benefit of extra hours and high-quality time at a go. You, therefore, have no excuse at all not to introduce your child to this affordable, fun-filled, and rewarding hobby.
