Pretend Play Toy Ideas

One of my little guys favorite thing to do is dress up like his favorite super hero. We received the masks and capes for a gift and he has loved them ever since. I really love the creative outlet that costumes brings out in kids when they are playing.

Car & Truck Ideas

Boys seem to want anything and everything that has wheels and moves. At such a young age they seem to be so fascinated with cars, trucks and airplanes. My little guys has a fascination with airplanes because daddy is a pilot.

One of his favorite toys in this list is his wooden train set. He play with his set for hours and hours.

Fun Educational/Electronic Toys

I love to find toys for my kids that are educational and keep their attention. Kids can play with toys and not even realize all the learning they are getting from playing with them.

I know electronics can be expensive but we use my sons iPad as a learning source for school. They are so many great apps you can download to aid with reading and memorization skills.

Building Set Ideas

Building sets and especially LEGO’s is one of my kids favorite toys to receive. LEGO’s are expensive but worth the money because they grow with your kids.

Another favorite building set of my kids is the Magnetic Tiles. My kids and their friends use these tiles to build with all the time. It is worth the money because it will last you for years and years.

Fun Animal Toys

Another toy my son likes to play with is dinosaurs. He is fascinated by them and loves to learn about them and go to museums and look at fossils.

I also love these sets of animals toys because they can grow with your kids and they will use them every time they play. My kids like to use their animals to create worlds for each of them.

Best Outdoor Toys

Keeping little boys inside is super hard, so I love finding great outdoor toys for boys. One of my little guys favorite toys is his T-ball set. This age kids are trying to mimic everything they see their older siblings and friends do.

I also love water toys for them to play with. We live where most of the time it is super hot, so anything to cool them off is a win.
