THE WORKSHOP IS OPEN
Start with one good fold.
A small collection, built carefully.
First Flick is our first printable draft. Its US Letter or computer paper and A4 files are ready to inspect, but physical fold and child usability testing are still pending.
We’ll add designs as their numbered sheets, instructions, and real flights are checked together.
