Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Coordination Game - Junior Rainbow
This junior-sized balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic bamboo discs to line up just right.
2) Mini Tabletop Basketball Game
This vintage style desktop basketball game features an adjustable basket height with three settings and an automatic ball return. Shoot for the high score by skillfully launching balls through the hoop and adjust the rim height for a new challenge.
3) 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.
4) Plush Hooded Animal Cape - Lobster
This plush hooded animal cape brings charming softness to play time. Designed in Belgium and crafted by hand, it’s a sweet and snuggly way to dress up or chill out. Kids can channel their wild side by pulling on a cape and tucking their hands into its perfectly-sized paws. Time to unwind? It also works as a cozy security blanket with personality.
5) Dreamimal™ Plush Comfort Animal Pillow
These comforting creatures introduce a new bedtime ritual for children. Each night children are encouraged to write down their hopes, dreams, and aspirations on a blank "dream wishes" card and place the card into their pillow before enjoying a restful night’s sleep.
