We used them for an activity for young boys smashing them to the song "Kung Fu Fighting". They did what they were supposed to do. They broke, and didn't hurt anyone. Perfect for such an activity.For crafts they are probably very useful too, because the wood is nice and smooth.

Product arrived quickly. Would

IT WAS ADDVERTIZED AS BALSA WOOD!! WELL IT WAS NOT. IT WAS A THIN BASSWOOD.DO YOU NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH OTHER VENDERS. BUYERS BEWARE.

Great product for your stay at r children's arts and crafts as well as science projects.

These thin balsa wood sheets arrived in a bundle, which gave me hope that they would be flat. Upon opening the bundle, they immediately warped into U shapes. I knew balsa wood this thin had a tendency to do this, but I had hoped for pieces a little flatter.Also, at least 4 of the pieces in my package had cracks down them, causing the wood to immediately split. Just make sure you know what you're buying. I ended up going to the local hardware store and picking up pieces of balsa to use instead of these.

Balsa is a great soft wood for cutting but there are random soft spots that squish and rip rather than cut. Because of its softness it can break easily. Its light weight makes it great for hanging projects.

My daughter likes it for her architecture class

cut square, just as described, fit my project
