Stomp Rockets

Stomp Rocket Super HighPerformance Stomp Rocket







A fun version of a favorite childhood theme, Stomp Rockets are safe, requiring no fuel or engines. Youngsters send the rockets skyward by jumping on the stomp pad, which sends air through a hose, to project the rocket into the air. Glow in the dark rockets make this a fun night activity!

Estes Model Rockets



Estes 810 220 Swift FlyingModel Rocket Kit

Probably the biggest name in model rockets, Estes provides a variety of levels, from beginner, to enthusiast. Spur your future rocket scientist's passion! My tween son enjoys the thrill of the launch, and the only drawback is the lack of foresight in purchasing enough engines to keep the fun going! My younger brother loved rockets in his upper elementary years, and even had the opportunity to a rocket camp one summer. Later, he went on to achieve his aerospace engineering degree! You never know what kind of future a flying toy, such as rockets, can inspire.

Remote Control Helicopters (Air Hogs)

Air Hogs Havoc Heli - ColorsMay Vary

These are tremendous fun for older children, teens, tweens, and dads, too! My husband's set of Air Hogs is a load of fun, for operators, and observers. It's a little advanced for younger children. I actually picked up the set featured below for my husband, and the chaos with two copters flying through the house is crazy...fun for the boys, but it might make mom think twice!

Radio Controlled Airplanes



Estes Xenox RC

You see them at the park, or even on a special airstrip as you are out for a Sunday drive. Remote control airplanes seem amazing, and they must be. Most of the time, it's grown up men flying them! The planes attract the attention of all the boys...including the grown up ones! Airplane withMotion Sensing Control

Kites

Prism Flip Rotor Kite,Spectrum

So much fun to watch, definitely fun to fly! Early springtime appearance of paper kites in stores is fun...for the older kids, and definitely for tweens, teens, and adults, specialty kites can be tons of fun! For educational applications, take a little time to read about the history of kites, or to actually explore a kitemaking book.

Frisbees and Boomerangs



Ultimate Bundle - 6

Not just for kids, frisbees are great therapy and exercise for people of all ages. Frisbee golf, or disc golf, is a great activity, and many parks have courses. Grandpas and grandsons can enjoy the activity together. If you have space at home, set up an obstacle course, or through the neighborhood, with some cautions for windows, of course!
