The Best (non-electronic) Christmas Gifts for Active Boys

Sharing is caring!

Need Christmas gift inspiration for boys this year?  You’ve come to the right place!  I have three active boys who enjoy building, playing, laughing, and exploring.

I am a firm believer that boys don’t need a lot of toys. They just need a few awesome toys that will keep them active and engage their problem-solving skills.  

Do you want to get your son something other than video games for Christmas this year? While there are some great media options available,  there are also some cool toys that will keep your boys busy for hours.  

I’m here to share all of our personal favorite gift ideas that are good for the mind and body.  Here is the ultimate list of the best gifts that are great options for kids of all ages.

Magnetic Tiles

For your son who is creative, loves to build and experiment, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) toys are always a great choice.  The best part is there are so many options that can teach real life problem solving.  My kids have played with magnetic tiles for years and they still enjoy them. Remember to stick with one brand so that as you add to the collection they will all fit together perfectly. Our personal favorite is the Picasso brand.
