Kids’ Drones & Flying Toys

Take to the skies with kids’ drones and flying toys selected for fun, accessible flying at home and outdoors. From fighter jet-inspired stunt drones to compact beginner flyers, this collection is designed for kids, teenagers and adults discovering the fun of remote control flight.

At Now Trending, we physically handle, test and fly our drones before deciding whether they belong in the range. We look at how they perform, how responsive the controls feel, how well they handle the occasional rough landing and whether their features add to the experience. It helps us choose flying toys that are enjoyable to use and exciting to give.

Beginner Drones for Kids

A beginner-friendly drone provides an accessible introduction to remote control flight. Features such as one-button take-off, altitude hold, headless mode and multiple speed settings can help new pilots learn how to hover, turn and move confidently through the air.

Compact toy drones are well suited to younger pilots developing their coordination and older beginners looking for an affordable way to learn the basics. Check each product page for its recommended age, flight environment, battery requirements and available flight assistance features.

Adult supervision is recommended while children are learning to fly.

Stunt Drones and RC Flying Toys

Stunt drones add another level of excitement with flips, spins, lighting effects and distinctive designs. Models such as fighter aircraft-inspired drones bring together the appearance of a remote control plane with the manoeuvrability of a multi-rotor flying toy.

These drones are designed primarily for flying fun, practising control and performing aerial moves. They make entertaining outdoor toys and memorable gifts for anyone interested in aircraft, RC vehicles or technology.

Some flying toys may also feature alternative movement modes, allowing them to travel along the ground before taking off and flying around the room or yard.

Choosing a Kids’ Drone

Consider where the drone will be flown and who will be controlling it. Smaller drones and protected propeller designs can suit indoor practice, while outdoor flying requires enough open space and calm conditions.

Useful features for beginners can include:

• One-button take-off and landing

• Altitude hold for steadier hovering

• Headless mode for easier orientation

• Adjustable flight speeds

• Protective propeller guards

• Rechargeable flight batteries

• LED lights and stunt modes

Flight time, charging time, control range and included accessories vary between models, so review the individual product details before choosing.

Drone Gifts for Kids and Beginners

Toy drones make exciting gifts for birthdays, Christmas and school holidays. They encourage active play, hand-eye coordination and the satisfaction of gradually mastering a new skill.

They are also great gifts for adults who enjoy RC toys, aircraft and gadgets. A compact stunt drone can turn an open backyard, park or indoor space into a new flying challenge.

Fly Safely in Australia

Before flying a drone outdoors, choose a clear location and check the current Australian drone safety rules. Recreational pilots must keep their drone within sight, avoid flying over people and follow restrictions covering height, distance and where drones can be operated. CASA also provides verified safety apps that show where recreational drones may be flown.
