Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
2) Washable Foam Animal Costume Masks

3) TrueChallenge Magnetic Puzzle Game
TrueChallenge is a spinning, twisting, scrambling, puzzle-solving good time. Invented by a rocket scientist, the puzzle toy employs STEM skills by using magnetic forces to attract and repel its pieces. Your mission? Get it all to attract to solve the puzzle.
4) Coordination Game - Travel
This travel-sized balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic bamboo discs to line up just right.
5) Plush Hooded Animal Cape - Lobster
This plush hooded animal cape brings charming softness to play time. Designed in Belgium and crafted by hand, it’s a sweet and snuggly way to dress up or chill out. Kids can channel their wild side by pulling on a cape and tucking their hands into its perfectly-sized paws. Time to unwind? It also works as a cozy security blanket with personality.
