Aerobie Pro (line)
The thin, aerodynamic ring flies much farther and straighter than a standard flying disc for the same throwing effort, and it holds up to years of backyard and beach use.
Not for: Toddlers or anyone who wants a toy that is easy to catch, because the narrow ring is harder to catch than a disc and can sting at speed.

Aerobie Pro Ring
Its smooth, long-distance flight makes outdoor catch especially satisfying, and the soft rim is comfortable to catch.
Not for: Small yards, crowded spaces, or play near water; it doesn't float.
Which one fits you
young kids, no throwing skill needed
Stomp Rocket (brand)
Kids launch foam rockets by stomping on an air pad, so even preschoolers get high flights without needing aim or arm strength.
Not for: Small yards near roofs, trees or roads, because the rockets climb high and get lost easily.
