This year, I’m finding my son’s age of 9 as challenging to shop for. The older he gets, the less toys he wants. He also loves do to things that let him run, jump and play.
I found several gift ideas after a lot of searching, and wanted to share them with you!
Top Gifts for 8-11 Year Old Boys
The Junior Ninja’s 50′ Obstacle Course
I can’t wait for warmer weather so we can get this up! This obstacle course gives up-and-coming ninjas an easy, safe, and fun way to emulate the competitive ninja athletes seen on TV.
My son is incredibly excited to work on his Ninja skills with this! It includes three 10″ “ninja fist” rope grips, two 16″ monkey bars, climbing rope with footholds, spinning wheel, and two gymnastic rings.
Super cool projector that casts a field of stars drifting on a transforming blue nebula onto a room’s walls and ceiling. It looks really cool at night and is really soothing.
So much fun but paper airplanes can be hard to make! Get the family together and have a paper airplane competition.
Perfect silly questions for goofy little boys!
Like the grown up version but made just for the kiddos. Kids earn virtual badges and fun on screen celebrations when they reach their goals!
My whole family has had such a blast with the Switch. This comes with a full game download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
How fun is that?? There are so many animals to choose from. You’ll get a photo and an adoption certificate.
My son has spent more time on this than any other toy maybe ever.
“With hundreds of topics ranging from silly to serious, we’ve got the expert information you need in a fun and entertaining format that will keep kids digging for answers.”
These are a really fun way to give kids a way to work out that extra energy.
