When we were kids we built DIY volcanoes with baking soda and vinegar and took basic computer courses where we learned to type. Today’s kids are much more advanced when it comes to STEM. They’re practically born with tablets in their hands and, with this DIY Building Block Drone kit, can make a drone that actually flies by the age of 6.

Made for kids ages 6 to 10, these DIY drone kits (which we’ve featured before) can keep kids away from their devices for a fun, yet educational experience. It’s like the DIY volcano of 2022. With step-by-step directions, this kit teaches kids the basics of aerodynamics and load balance. Plus, it enhances their practical skills and confidence. The end result is a drone that uses UAV technology to give the best flying experience. It can even do 360-degree stunt flips, so the fun keeps going long after the build is over.

With multiple configurations and compatibility with popular building block brands, kids can get creative with their designs and customize their drone to suit them. Heck, even adults will enjoy the easy build and creative results.

When you’re stuck indoors on a particularly cold or snowy winter day, whip out this DIY kit and help your young one build their own drone from scratch. When the sun comes back out, it gives them a reason to play outside — something we can all agree kids today need more of.

Each DIY Building Block Drone kit comes with everything needed to put it together, including the circuit board, propellers, building blocks, controller, and any tools necessary along the way. You’ll have to provide the additional LEGO (etc.) for customization, but you probably already have a bunch covering the floor in your home.

These DIY drone kits are typically $129, but you can get one in blue or gray for just $49.99 for a limited time. That’s 61% in savings.
