Make your own boomerang with this wooden boomerang making kit.
A creative activity that allows you to discover the different stages involved in making a genuine returning boomerang: sanding, decorating, tuning and learning how to throw it.
This kit is ideal for children aged 11 and up, families, schools, leisure centres and anyone who wants to discover boomerang throwing in a fun and creative way.
The boomerang is already cut from high-quality aviation plywood. All that remains is to shape its profile, decorate it and learn how to throw it.
Make your own boomerang
With this DIY kit, you do not simply receive a ready-to-throw boomerang.
You take part in making it yourself.
Each step helps you better understand how this fascinating object works.
The kit allows you to:
sand the wings;
gradually shape the boomerang;
prepare it for either right-handed or left-handed throwing;
personalise its decoration;
learn how to throw your boomerang;
discover the principles of flight adjustment.
A complete activity combining creativity, hands-on work, learning and outdoor activity.
What does the boomerang making kit contain?
Each kit includes:
a pre-cut three-bladed boomerang;
made from high-quality aviation plywood;
sandpaper for shaping the wings;
an illustrated making guide;
instructions for learning how to throw;
flight adjustment advice;
ideas for games and activities with the boomerang.
The guide allows you to follow each stage progressively.
A boomerang kit for right- or left-handed throwers
One of the main advantages of this kit is its adaptability.
The boomerang starts out neutral.
During the making process, you can prepare it for:
a right-handed thrower;
or a left-handed thrower.
This makes it an excellent activity for a group of children, a class or a family, as everyone can make their boomerang according to their preferred throwing hand.
A creative activity from age 11
The kit is recommended for children aged 11 and up.
It allows them to take part in a complete hands-on activity.
They gradually discover:
how to work with the material;
the shape of the wings;
the role of the aerodynamic profile;
how to personalise a boomerang;
throwing technique.
It is an activity that combines hands-on making with an outdoor skill game.
Decorate your boomerang however you like
Once the boomerang has been shaped, it is time to get creative.
Each participant can imagine their own design.
You can use:
pencils;
felt-tip pens;
suitable paint;
graphic patterns;
personalised colours.
Every boomerang can therefore become unique.
This step is particularly popular during group activities.
A boomerang for learning through play
Making a boomerang is an excellent way to understand how it works.
The activity provides a practical introduction to several concepts:
rotation;
aerodynamics;
wing shape;
the role of wind;
trajectory;
balance.
Children can therefore discover basic scientific principles while making an object they can use afterwards.
An ideal activity for schools
The boomerang kit can easily be incorporated into a school activity.
It combines:
hands-on activity + creativity + scientific discovery + sport.
Each student can make and decorate their own boomerang.
The kit is particularly suitable for:
schools;
classes;
educational activities;
science projects;
creative workshops.
Wallaby also offers a specific solution for organisations wishing to order several kits.
