Age 10 can be tricky for gift-givers. Ten-year-old boys may begin focusing more on hobbies than toys, but play is still essential. "You want the toy to be 90% child and 10% percent toy," says child psychologist Roberta Golinkoff, PhD, author of "Becoming Brilliant." "Avoid toys that ask kids to fill in the blanks. Toys should release creativity, not determine it."
The best gifts for a 10-year-old boy will encourage age-appropriate development and meet the interests of that individual child. Because interests extend beyond outdated masculine stereotypes, great gifts include everything from sports to arts. And while the newest trending toys are great, some classic toys and games shouldn't be overlooked. Below, we've rounded up our top picks for the best gifts for 10-year-old boys, including STEM toys, games, and outdoor toys. Check out all of our gift guides here for more inspiration.
