Description
Discover the science of flight with the National Geographic How Things Work Parachute Launcher STEM Kit. Combining hands-on construction with fascinating science, this educational activity lets children build their own working parachute launcher before putting it to the test.
Children assemble the 3D parachute launcher using the included card and other components, following step-by-step instructions to create a working model. Once complete, the fun continues as they launch miniature parachutes into the air and discover some of the science behind how parachutes work.
The included instructions also feature interesting facts about parachutes, aerodynamics and flight, helping introduce scientific concepts in an accessible and engaging way. It’s a great choice for curious children who enjoy finding out how things work rather than simply reading about them.
Building and experimenting with the launcher can also encourage problem-solving, creativity and fine motor skills, combining educational STEM learning with an entertaining hands-on project.

Why You’ll Love It
The National Geographic Parachute Launcher gives children the satisfaction of building something themselves and then seeing their creation actually work. Rather than being purely a construction model, the finished launcher can be used to send miniature parachutes into the air while children explore the principles behind their flight.
It’s a particularly good choice for children interested in science, engineering, construction and how things work, providing an engaging screen-free activity with an educational element.
At Yesteryears Toy Shop, we’re proud to offer educational toys and activities that encourage children to experiment, discover and learn through hands-on play.
