There are loads of different types of toys for boys age 5 and it is our aim to show you the best overall gifts and toys available. We have compiled a huge list of toys for a 5 year old boy. There are over 37 different toy items to choose from, so whatever your child might love you are sure to find it here in this comprehensive gift guide.
Kids grow up so fast and the games and toys they love to play with do too. It only seemed like yesterday that they were crawling around making gurgling sounds. But skip forward five years and you have a little person who’s learning to be independent, can walk and talk and throw some major tantrums. However, the little guy is the best and now is the time to spoil him and get a special gift he will never forget.
Five is also a huge year because this is the age they start kindergarten. Socializing with peers their own age is a huge part of their development and where they can potentially meet friends for life. I’m sure some of you reading this will still be in contact with some people that you met all those many years ago. I certainly know I am.
Development never really stops when it comes to children and so do the presents for boys too. But what may be suitable for a one-year-old, will more often than not, be completely unsuitable for a five year old. Different needs, interests and sometimes, emerging talents and hobbies begin to make themselves apparent.
When considering birthday, Christmas or any gifts occasion it’s important that you take this into consideration. Social development, nurturing creativity, allowing children the freedom to explore and letting them know it’s okay to express themselves (through speech or the plethora of different ways people communicate) are all cornerstones in this tender stage of the child’s life. That’s enough of an introduction, let’s get down to the best toys for five year old boys.
37 Best Gifts for 5 year Old Boys
Hauck Sirocco Racer Pedal Car/Go Kart
Is your kid a budding race-car driver, if so then this will be an awesome gift for his special day. The pedal car is the obvious choice for all kids who love fast pedal cars. With an ever-increasing child obesity rate in this great country of our, this is a great way to combat this epidemic head-on.
The handbrake is a great safety feature that enables a safe and controlled stop, allowing your child to mount or dismount without fear of the kart rolling away.
The chain is fully enclosed to make sure no tassels or loose-hanging clothes get caught up in it. Your favorite feature about this kart though won’t be the blue powder coating or the sturdy metal frame, but the fact that you can shift between the drive mode and coasting mode. Meaning that when your child comes to a downhill stretch, they can just roll with the good times and then power their way back up.
Boy’s LEGO Set
First on our gift list has to be the much known and loved, LEGO. I’m sure we all have fond childhood memories of playing with the crazy little blocks.
LEGO has changed a little these days, however, and the market has become saturated with so many ‘themed’ LEGO sets. These may look cool, and serve a purpose, but to really get the creativity to spark within your child, the good old fashion sets are still the best
Where imagination is the only limitation, LEGO can help your child explore their own mind by projecting it on to these little bricks of brightly colored plastic. LEGO also helps to develop motor neuron skills and are stimulating in a variety of different ways. In a time of tablets and youtube, LEGO still has a firm place in the collection of any child, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon.
LEGO toys 5 year old boys make kids happy and last a long time, lasting for years and you get loads of value out of LEGO.
