Toys That Boys Want The Most
What are the most wanted toys by boys this year? Ads on TV and in magazines might offer an idea except that those ads are being paid for by the company who makes the toys which slants the results somewhat. Looking at a best selling list of toys might help, but those are the toys that adults have purchased for a boy and not necessarily what he actually wanted. I have consulted a list of most wanted toys by boys and have compiled a short version here on this page for you to look through for ideas on what to buy a boy that will be something that he really wants to play with.

The Angry Birds Star Wars Jenga game is for 1 or 2 players. Make the Death Star by stacking the Jenga blocks and then launch the Angry Birds to attack it.

Fisher-Price Gotham City Batman Jail
Boys do not play with dollhouses, gracious no! But they do like to have buildings that their action figures can hang out and do cool things in. Boys are asking for the Fisher-Price Imaginext Batman Gotham Jail, this year. There are five jail cells with images of Gotham City’s most famous villains. A boy can even use the Bat signal when Batman needs to come to the rescue.

A great kick scooter for boys aged 5 years of age and older. Conveniently folds up for transporting in the car. Sturdy aircraft grade aluminum is used in the construction of this scooter. Offers a rear fender brake for quick stopping.
Most Wanted Skateboard: Drop Kick Longboard
Boys are asking for the longboard skateboard this year. Offers a maple laminate deck and super high rebound wheels. The style of the longboard skateboard allows for better stability when going downhill and makes for nicer ride when he is just skating through town.
Remote Control Toys
Boys can fly this helicopter outside but it is also small enough for indoor flights, too. Made of durable metal and sure to offer hours of fun for boys to pretend to fly and even battle with each other.
Boys Love Remote Control Cars
This rock crawler offers a fun remote control experience for boys. Articulated suspension for both the front and rear of the vehicle and two motors with low gearing. Runs on 3 AA batteries for the off road vehicle and 1 9V batter for the controller that will need to be purchased separately. Recommended for boys 8 years old and older.
Toys That Encourage The Love Of Sports
Boys, girls too, should be encouraged to play some kind of sport. They can choose which sport they like the best. Playing on a team sport provides lessons in following direction, teamwork and getting along with others. Individual sports are great, too, for the discipline they learn in honing their skills. A few toys that boys love that are sports driven.
Kids tablet
Whether it’s an iPad mini, a Nexus 7 or a Kindle Fire – a tablet makes a great gift for any child.
It is useful to know that all three have parental controls options built in, so that is not the standard to pick one by.
When it comes to apps the difference isn’t all that great either: all the popular gaming apps and ebook apps are available for all three.
