Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Fast-Paced Puzzle Game
Build a maze as fast as you can—the trickier the better—because your opponents have to navigate it. In this fast-paced, fun game, players build mazes with foam shapes on magnetic boards and swap with the competition. Use logic, speed, and engineering skills to stump the other players. Whoever gets through the end—and back—first wins.
2) 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.
3) Zig & Go Chain Reaction Set
Djeco: Zig & Go Roll 28 pc Chain Reaction Set
4) 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.
5) Quixo Wooden Strategy Board Game
Quixo is easy to get the hang of and an enjoyable challenge to play (and play again). The strategy game entails sliding and arranging cubes to line up in rows of X’s or O’s, even as the game board changes with each turn. Crafted of sturdy wood, it’s made to last for many rounds of play.
