Kids Aeroplane Bed

Give a child a toy aeroplane and he/she will no doubt glide it gracefully around the room whilst adding in sound effects usually reserved exclusively for the bottom and the much lauded art of breaking wind. That’s because the aeroplane (err not the art of breaking wind) is of course one of mans greatest inventions.

This near perfect to scale designer childrens bed is the complete all singing all dancing luxury bed for budding pilots, it features realistic wings, propeller and detailed paint work to fly your little ones to dreamland and back.
