Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Kids Active Sitting Stool
Kids can start building better sitting habits when they’re young. This Made in the USA ergonomic stool encourages them to make small movements that help with circulation, breathing, and keeping their mind more alert. Unlike a stability ball, ErgoErgo looks cool and won’t roll away.
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) Quoridor Wooden Strategy Game
Quoridor is a game of strategy that sounds simple enough: make it to the other side of the board. But with each turn, your opponent can move a pawn or position a wall to slow down your advance. Made of colorful, durable wood that’s equally inviting to look at or play.
4) Coordination Game - Travel
This travel-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.
5) Djubi Classic Slingshot Catch Game
Djubi (joo-bee) is the slingshot toss game that makes classic catch seem underwhelming. Each racket has a deep net for catching and a hook on top to launch the included foam balls. Slip a ball’s latex loop over the hook then pull, point, and release to launch it up to 100 feet. Get your sling on at the park, pool, or beach.
