When you’re trying to find amazing gifts for your little boy, you can’t go wrong with something educational but fun at the same time.
Confused about what to buy? In this list, we’ve compiled some of the best gifts for 5-year-old boys.
Whirligig Interlocking Building Blocks
These STEM building blocks are great to develop the little engineer in your child. They consist of 106 pieces of different shapes and sizes, which attach to each other in a variety of ways to allow your children to unleash their imagination and create as many unique models as they could think of.
What we found interesting are the moving parts that spin and rotate like wheels to allow the models to move and increase the fun.
Razor A2 Kick Scooter
The Razor scooter is an awesome way to improve your kid’s motor skills instead of sitting in front of screens all day. It’s fun to use for moving around.
We like that it’s made from sturdy aluminum to last long and the springless front wheel makes it easier to navigate bumpy roads. Don’t worry about the size, as you can adjust the handle to match your kid’s height and the scooter can be folded up to be carried in a bag when not in use.

If your kid is a DC and Batman fan, they’ll love this Batcopter. The nice-looking helicopter is equipped with rotating blades and a landing gear that turns into a claw to help Batman catch villains or rescue civilians and save the city.
Most importantly, a Batman figure is included and it can be placed in the cockpit. This is a good toy for kids’ imagination and dexterity.

This LED illuminated globe is an attractive way to teach your kids about geography and astronomy. A lot of info is illustrated on the globe like major cities, regions, oceans, and rivers with latitudes and longitudes.
When you turn on the lights, it shows 88 constellations, planets, and stars. We love the fact that it also comes with a constellation booklet and you can download the interactive globe app for more educational content.
The 3D Puzzle Globe
The colorful 3D puzzle globe provides a fun and engaging way to learn about geography. It includes six labeled puzzle pieces for continents so that kids could match them with their places on the globe.
The oceans are also labeled and each continent piece has images of its landmarks and native animals to teach kids more info about the different parts of the world.
The Magical Rainbow Scribbling Tablet
The Scribble n’ Play portable smart board is convenient to take with you anywhere to help your children practice drawing and writing. It doesn’t need pens, chalk, or paper.
It uses a color burst display technology with a battery to last for years and it comes with four styli of different textures to help your kids unleash their creativity. We found the app useful to save and share their creations.

These Walkie Talkies provide long-distance communication, whether it’s for monitoring your children or for all sorts of outdoor activities and games. They have 22 channels and a 3 miles coverage range.
Kids could use them at home, the yard, parks, and camps. They’re simple to use, offer good sound quality, and have a built-in flashlight to use at night or in dark places.
The Big Dig Excavator Crane
The Big Dig Excavator Crane is the perfect gift for the beach and the playground’s sandbox. It’ll make your kid feel like a construction worker.
It has a sturdy metal build with a 360° rotation base and a 33’’ crane reach for digging and dumping. Your kids will have fun building stuff with sand or snow and developing their motor skills.

MiBro, Your Friendly Robot
MiBro is the right gift for kids who love technology and robots. It’s loaded with fun features.
You can control it using the Really RAD remote and talk to people through it using a normal voice or with the voice changer function to sound like a robot.
You can listen to someone with MiBro’s microphone and stage some funny pranks with over 50 sound effects, which we think are very amusing. MiBro can also lift up his arms to carry lightweight items or play football with the included ball and goal.
Table Top Roll-up Sports Games
The tabletop games from Elite Sportz Equipment are made for the whole family. They offer two different games: Curling and Bowling so that you can have fun with your kids with a simple setup.
They come roll-up mats and miniature pieces: stones for curling and pins for bowling. What we like is that the mats can be used on any flat surface and they provide a slippery texture to simulate the ice and bowling alleys.
With these, you can enjoy curling and bowling with your kids, anywhere.
Lights and Sounds Game-show Buzzers
These colorful lights and sounds buzzers could turn classroom participation into a television game show. The set includes four buzzers with different colors and unique sounds: siren, game-show buzzer, “charge”, and laser.
The cool sounds and lights will encourage students to engage and respond to questions. We think it’s also a nice way to give shy kids a little boost and help them integrate well into the classroom.
Botley the Coding Robot
Botley the coding robot can teach your kids coding and develop their STEM skills in a screen-free style. It uses a remote programmer that issues commands to the robot.
Botley is able to implement smart logic by avoiding obstacles, executing looping commands, following line paths, and other hidden features. It comes with 77 pieces like coding cards, double-sided tiles, and obstacle building pieces.
In our opinion, this makes it fun to learn programming logic from a very young age.
The Jurassic World Dinosaur Track
Take your kids on an exciting adventure and fun playtime with the Jurassic Dinosaur World. The set includes a flexible track that can twist and turn to form roads of different shapes, even a 360° loop.
