29 Best Toys and Gifts for 10-Year-Old Boys 2022

October 25, 2021 By Hilary

Best-Gifts-Toys-10-Year-Old-Boy

Have you ever tried to assist a ten-year-old boy with picking out a toy? My oldest son recently turned 10-years-old and he was lucky enough to receive quite a few gift cards for his birthday! Thinking he would have plenty of ideas on what he wanted, we headed to the store. After perusing toy shelves for what felt like hours, we left empty handed and frustrated.

While there were plenty of toys to choose from, there just wasn’t any one thing that stood out to him as a “must have”. If only we had hopped onto Mommy High Five and seen this list, what a better experience it would have been!

To avoid frustration (trust me on this one), refer to this list of perfect toys for tween boys the next time you’re faced with choosing a gift or toy for a loved one. You can thank me later!

Things to Consider Before Purchasing

There are some things you will want to find out and keep in mind as you’re shopping for a 10-year-old boy. Boys in this age group are usually very active and their attention spans are all over the place. Did I mention they are active?

  • What type of toy are you looking for? To cover all types of toys, this list is organized into active/outdoor toys, electronic toys, and STEM toys. You’ll want to narrow down to at least one of those types before shopping! Think about the recipient and if they have siblings that are going to want to play with the toy as well. Many of the toys listed can be enjoyed by multiple age groups!
  • Does the 10-year-old you’re shopping for have any hobbies? If you’ve heard John Jr. talking about his latest LEGO build, he will more than likely love a STEM toy. If Bob Jr. has baseball and football trophies lining his shelves, then he might prefer an active/outdoor toy. If you can find out what your gift recipient is into, finding a toy in this list will be a breeze! The best thing is, some of these toys serve multiple interests and will be a hit no matter what!
  • What is your budget? You will certainly want to figure out a budget before researching this list. Consider the amount of use the gift will get as well when thinking of how much you want to spend. If my son wants a more expensive gift, I’ll have family members contribute to his savings toward it. This allows him some time to really think over the purchase and make sure that it’s something worth spending more on!

The slip-resistant, concave deck platforms provide stability along with high quality wheels. The durability and quality are excellent, just what you would expect from the RipStik brand.

    FAQs

    Is a cell phone a good gift for a 10-year-old boy?

    While the question of when to get your child a cell phone is certainly a matter of personal opinion, most 10-year-old boys are developing the responsibility needed to care for their own phone. If you feel like they are ready for a cell phone, the Gabb phone is a safe option because it doesn’t connect to the internet, but your boy will be delighted to talk and text with family and friends.

    Are 10-year-olds too old for building toys?

    One could argue that boys never outgrow a love for building since adult men often still enjoy activities like constructing model cars. This list outlines several unique, challenging building toys which will stimulate and excited 10-year-old boys, such as the popular K’Nex building set.

    What is the best outdoor toy for a 10-year-old boy?

    Only you can consider your boy’s interests and personality to determine the perfect outdoor toy for him. However, our list outlines favorites among tween boys including RipStick boards, drones, and any kind of blasters. You can’t go wrong with any of those options!
