Boy Gift Ideas (Ages 5-9)

These boy gift ideas for ages 5-9 will be fun for any child who likes to be active, build and create. From toys that will inspire to sports equipment and even some cozy room items, these gift ideas for boys will be a win.

Before I start, I want to say that I put this together as a list of boy gift ideas because Roman is in this age range. I know what he likes and what would make him thrilled. However, these gifts would be absolutely fine for a girl who loves sports, building, science and cozy room things in these colors. Now that that’s said, let’s chat about these fun boy gift ideas for kids about 5-9!

Getting active

First, I started with sports items for boy gift ideas. Most little boys I know are pretty active in sports around this age. And even if they’re not on a team or part of a club, they generally have a lot of energy to workout and spending some time outside playing with these things is always a way for them to burn it off. Before I had kids I remember my sister-in-law telling me that she would always try to keep her boys really, really active in the morning with sports and outings. They would use up some of their energy and have a low key afternoon. Now that I’m a parent of a boy this age, I’ve found this to very much be true. Plus, it’s so healthy for them too.

Discovery concepts

Roman is really interested in nature, dinosaurs and rocks. I included a few things on this list of boy gift ideas that would encourage exploring, digging and making discoveries. Since we live on7 acres, there’s always some new place to discover here. However, even if you don’t live on a farm the local forrest preserve is a great place to put some of these gifts to use. The rock tumbler, the explorer kit, binoculars, fossil dig kits and more can all encourage discovery and exploration of the world around them.

Building brains

When it comes to building things, there’s so many ways to get little boys’ engaged. There are several of these boy gift ideas are wonderful for that too. From the marble run (which may be found under our tree this year), to the building logs, Legos and even the robot and drone – these boy gift ideas should get their gears turning.
