Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Roll Up Portable 22 Bar Xylophone
Rock out anywhere you go with this unique 22 bar xylophone. It's equipped with record and playback functions, 7 different tones, a built-in speaker, and a tutorial mode so you can play along with the demo songs. It's also made of flexible silicone rubber, so when the performance is over, you can simply roll it up pack it away in your bag.
2) Wooden Tabletop Penny Soccer Game
Take your best shot. This penny soccer table game is a fresh take on an old-school classic. All you need to play is a finger that’s ready to flick and a penny that acts as the soccer ball. The wooden game board is handcrafted in Missouri and is made with the mission to bring families together for a nostalgic (and fun) screen-free game night.
3) 3D Building Puzzle Toy
This combination 3D puzzle and building toy can actually change the way kids think by helping them learn problem-solving, spatial relations, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) skills as they play. IKOS encourages kids of all ages to invent, innovate, and create. Made in the USA.
4) Kids Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Too much screen time for little eyes? Try a pair of blue light blocking glasses for kids. The flexible, playtime-friendly specs have polycarbonate lenses that block up to 35% of HEV—aka blue—light from a phone, tablet, or computer screen that can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and disrupt sleep. These glasses also block 100% UVA and UVB rays for even more eye protection.
5) Kids Active Sitting Stool
Kids can start building better sitting habits when they’re young. This Made in the USA ergonomic stool encourages them to make small movements that help with circulation, breathing, and keeping their mind more alert. Unlike a stability ball, ErgoErgo looks cool and won’t roll away.
