Most flying toys are complicated and boyish, but this featherweight flier is simple, safe, and fun. Just hold the button until the wings flutter, aim, and liftoff! It comes in yellow if she's not into pink, plus there's a moth version in black, blue, or red and white, so little dudes can take flight, too. (6 and up; WowWee, $23; wowwee.com)

"She figured out how to get it flying higher and longer, saying, 'This is awesome!'"
-- Lisa Allen, mom of Isabelle, 8, Canonsburg, PA
