Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Coordination Game - Mini

TrueBalance: Coordination Game - Mini - Blue
2) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls

Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
3) Marble Race Starter Set

The GraviTrax starter set is the perfect rolling, spinning, racing, and jumping-off point for kid engineers. The marble run building set has over 100 pieces and nine construction plans to put into action, or kids can create their own signature twisting and turning race track while honing early STEM skills with concepts like gravity, trajectory, and force.
4) Katamino Brain Teaser Puzzle

Katamino is a brain teaser puzzle with 500 engaging solo challenges that progress in difficulty level, so you’ll want to keep returning for more. Its board and colorful interlocking pieces are crafted with wood, making it a great looking and engaging way to play.
5) Castle Toy Construction Set

These castle building sets bring fairy tales to life. Bricks and tiles made with ceramic and plaster look and feel real, and are held together with non-toxic glue. Pick from a smaller-scale palace or go big with a stately castle.
