Since Lucas started traveling at such a young age (his first flight was at less than 3 months old), I thought we needed to start a little toy airplane collection for him.
.
So far he has four airplanes with each being a bit different than the next one.
.
Here they are:
The South Dakota Plane |
Early last Summer, while in South Dakota we visited an aviation museum. I was checking out the gift shop and wanted to get a little something for Lucas. I decided to get him his first airplane. He hasn’t played with this plane much yet, but it will be a nice toy for Lucas when he is a little older.
Green Toys |
The second plane we bought Lucas is made by a really cool company. All of their products are made of 100% recycled plastic with the main ingredient being recycled milk containers! They are also made in the USA which I think is pretty awesome.
.
When I saw the Green Toys Seaplane, I had to get it for my little guy. It’s a really great bath toy and Lucas really loves it. He will often point or reach for it if I forget to put it in the bathtub. Lucas also has a bunch of other Green Toys products which we use on a daily basis.
The next plane we got for Lucas is also made by an environmentally friendly company. Their toys are hand made from natural rubber foam. and have a simple and fun look.
.
The Rubbabu Charles the Little Airplane is a great travel toy since it is small, soft and light weight.
Weebles Toys |
Lucas already had a few planes but no pilot so when we saw the Weebles Wobblin’ Wings Airplane, we had to get it. I remember having Weebles as a kid so I was happy to see that they were still being made.
.
The plane is a lot of fun. It comes with the pilot shown in the photo and can hold up to three Weebles figures at a time. The propeller spins and if you pull the blue circle in the back, the plane vibrates, makes noises and the Weebles figure moves around.
.
So that’s all of Luca’s fleet for now. Over time I’m sure that he will pick up some more airplanes along the way!
.
If you have any fun airplane toys that you’d like to recommend, please let us know.

Lucas has quite the airline fleet, and unlike some others, he’s managed to grow his airline without any red ink!
HAHAHAHA- good one! Lucas is also shopping around for a new livery!
