Gift Guide for 8-11 Year Old Boys

christmas

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.

The Portable Planetarium

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.

Paper Airplane Kit

So much fun but paper airplanes can be hard to make! Get the family together and have a paper airplane competition.

    Kids’ versions of fitness watches are a great idea to motivate kids to move more. I wonder how easy they are to use and whether they really help form healthy habits. I recently looked at reviews of different models and came across Fitbit, user opinions can be found at https://fitbit.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html. It is important that such devices are not only functional but also durable.
