I've got a nephew who is 3-something years old. He's really into airplanes. All of the ideas of gifts I've found have either been books (I give him books, but I'd like to give him something interactive) or toys that are way above his age level.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good gift for a 3 to 4-year-old who loves airplanes?

Edit: I just want to give a big thanks to all of you for being so helpful. I've got some great ideas for Christmas, his birthday, and beyond if he remains fascinated by planes. Very helpful.

He's 3, don't overthink it. When I was 3, one of those Balsa wood gliders was the most fun thing in the world.

This is the first thing that came to mind. I used to get them at the dentist as a kid

Didn't realize how cheap they were, maybe I'll get more...

I can't seem to find them on Amazon, but there used to be those air pump powered planes that were a lot of fun if you had the room to fly them.
