Top 10 Toys for Boys

Don't let Christmas sneak up on you this year.  Here I have compiled a list of the top 10 toys boys would love to have this year.  I have placed items on this list that would be appropriate for boys of different ages, so make sure you buy appropriately.  I will list them in an approximate age appropriate order.

  1. Little Tikes Cozy Coupe - This nifty car can start out with you pushing your child and then be converted to foot powered.  My kids have loved this toy and play with it daily. Ages 1 - can't fit inside anymore.
  2. Little Tikes Easy Score Basketball Set - This is a smaller version of a regular basketball goal.  The great thing about it is that it can be used indoors or outdoors.  Ages 18 months - 5
  3. Little Tikes TotSports T-Ball Set - This set comes with the tee, bat and balls.  My kids have enjoyed this for many years and it has definitely helped their batting skills.  Ages 18 months - 4+
  4. Stomp Rocket Jr. Glow Kit - What kid doesn't like to stomp around?  Pair that with a rocket that launches and you have a sure fire winner.  Ages 3+
  5. Lego Ultimate Building Set, 405 pieces - This is the next step after duplo blocks.  All of the pieces are neatly contained into the included storage box.  Ages 4+
  6. Air Hunterz Z Curve Bow - A simple bow with non sharp, nerf-like tips.  A good starter bow for learning how to hold and shoot properly. Ages 5+
  7. Qwirkle Board Game - A strategic matching board game for 2 - 4 players.  Ages 6+
  8. Uno - A color coded card game for 2 - 10 players.  Ages 7+
  9. Lego Mine Craft, original - A Lego set that is based on the online game Mine Craft.  Ages 10+
  10. Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter, blue - Flies in all directions and has frequency switch allowing 2 helicopters to fly at once.  My nephews fell in love with these.  Ages 10+ 
This is definitely not an all inclusive list, but will at least get you started on your Christmas wish lists.  Any boys in my family have loved these as presents.  And I will be giving these again as the boys age each year.
