Toy Planes & Helicopters

Toys have a magical way of turning those dreams into reality, and there's no better example than toy planes and helicopters. Whether your little one dreams of being a pilot, or an astronaut or simply loves the thrill of flight, our range of toy planes and helicopters will take their imagination to new heights. From realistic models of commercial jets and helicopters to colourful and quirky designs that spark creativity, we've got something for every budding aviator.

What Materials Are Used in Making The Toy

The choice of materials often depends on the type of toy, its intended use, and the age of the child. For younger children, lightweight and safe materials like plastic or foam are often preferred. For older children or collectors, more durable materials like wood or metal might be a better choice.

Toy planes and helicopters are crafted from a variety of materials, each with its own benefits and drawbacks:

Plastic

This is the most common material for toy aircraft due to its affordability, versatility, and lightweight nature. It can be moulded into intricate shapes and is generally durable enough for everyday play. However, some plastics can be brittle and prone to breaking under stress.

Wood

Wood is a natural and sustainable material, and it can be quite durable if treated properly. However, wooden toys can be more expensive and may require more careful handling to prevent damage.

Metal

Often made from die-cast metal, these toys are known for their durability and realistic details. They can withstand rough play and often have a satisfying weight and feel. However, they can be more expensive and may be heavier for younger children to handle.

Foam

These are lightweight and safe for indoor play. They're less likely to cause damage or injury if they bump into things or people. However, foam toys may not be as durable as other materials.

Composite Materials

Some toy aircraft are made from composite materials, which combine different materials like plastic and fibreglass for enhanced strength and durability. These toys often offer a good balance of lightweight design and resilience.
