5 year old gift guide

Today I am sharing my 5-year-old boy gift ideas.  These are great for birthdays, Christmas, or any time of the year!

We love toys, games, and activities that can be used over and over again.  Hopefully, you will find something on this list for your little one.

Since I currently have a 5-year old I know what he loves and what he is asking for!

Here are the best gifts for a 5-year old boy:

 

The Game of Twister

Twister is such a classic fun game. It gets everyone up and moving.  The best part is we all end up laughing too.

We love giving this game to friends and family that are around 5 years old

Books Who Would Win

These are fun for beginner readers and they are fun for the adults too.

We love to think about who would win? And make a guess.

Henry Heckelbeck Books

Books for boys

My 5 year old LOVES these Henry Heckelbeck books.  We read them together, but as he is getting better at reading he has been able to reread them by himself.

The good thing is these books are actually interesting for adults to hear too.

The Game Of Life

My kids love playing the game of life.  I was surprised how quickly they caught onto this game and how much fun we have playing as a family!

Microscope for Kids

If you are interested in science then this is a gift for you!  Share your love of science with your little one.

The great thing about this gift is it will transition into older ages.  They can use it for school projects and get outdoors to collect things and see what it looks like up close.

MAGIC 8 Ball

My boys were so excited to get a Magic 8 ball! It was the best gift of the whole day.
