there are a bazillion cheap quadcopters out there...and getting one has very little risk if it suffers damage, but COVID and money is tight, so I'd rather avoid buying a Eachine or JJRC and spend a wee bit more for something that is robust, has replaceable parts and would allow us to flip a switch on the transmitter and add a channel for more advanced flying as he levels up his skillset.
I recently ordered an elcheapo Eachine E009 for myself...see how he reacts. I suspect there will be much excitement as he's obsessed with paper airplanes (I bought him one of these: http://www.pathfindersdesignandtechnology.com/portfolio-item/sky-surfer/) and constantly watching YouTube videos on how to build them and attempts to build his own rubberband launchers out of straws and cardboard.
I have plans to buy the EZ3 First Flight Pack...but FT is out of stock on the 3 channel power pack needed for it, so there's a delay on that right now. I won't go into it more since this is not the appropriate forum.
