Our 10 Creative Toys For Boys gift guide focuses on a few quality toys that will provide hours of constructive play time and foster their imaginations.
Recently, my son threw a small fit when I told him that he needed to add some “non electronic” toys on his Wish List. He got downright upset about it and proclaimed that anything without a remote was B-O-R-I-N-G. I was determined to prove him wrong, so we started talking about some of his most favorite toys and surprise, surprise, they didn’t actually involve an iPad or a remote.
Several of them did use batteries, but I was willing to let this slide. The most important part was that his favorite toys were those that encouraged him to be creative. Those that required him to use his imagination. And, those that enabled him to play nicely together with his sister too.
Whether his fire breathing dragon was lighting the princesses castle on fire, or his barn yard animals all came down with rabies and his sister’s Veterinarian Barbie had to save them all, the toys he talked about most where the ones that allowed him to change their use based upon his mood.
So with this in mind, we created a gift guide with our boys that is comprised of toys that they currently have or are asking Santa for this year. These 10 Creative Toys For Boys focus on a few high quality items that will provide hours of creative play.

My nephew is all about capes. He has so many and even uses bandanas so for him he always wants capes and normally gets capes.

Out of the above toys shown, I would say my favorite is the Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave. Other than that, he loves his play tools.
The favorite toys of my two boys were Lego’s, building toys and anything with a motor or wheels.
my nephew loves to play playdoh!!
right now my 3 year old nephew loves playdoh!
My grandson would love the Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcave.
I like to give them models or most any building kits, even Legos.
We love Legos and hotwheels!
I would have to say my favorite would be legos
We love Legos and Crayola products!
We like legos
Legos are the favorite in this house!
I have a six year old daughter that really loves science and animals so I always turn to boys holiday lists for great finds. I love the Discovery star lantern for her!
My favorite creative gift for boys are train sets. Train sets are great because they can build on them just like they build onto their minds.
Legos and building sets are our favorite creative gifts.
I love giving my son Legos, and he loves playing w/ them.
I love the little star light lantern. My girls had something similar to this when they were younger and they fought over who got to sleep with it every night for YEARS. I should have just bought two!
I agree with the other comments, you really can never go wrong with lego or anything else that boys can build. My husband has his eyes on toy cars that you can take apart and customize for our kids!
Building sets and microscopes are my favorites.
These are such great ideas! Both of my kids would love that lantern.
My son would love these toys!
That building set is sweet! I love encouraging creativity!
Legos are always the go to gift for boys 🙂
Discovery Kids makes the best toys for kids. I love when toys have an educational aspect.
I have two boys and am struggling to find gifts this year. Thank you for the great ideas!
Legos are always a hit
Those are super cute! I’m digging the barn and the Lego set, and we would LOVE a train table!
Such great ideas! My son loves the Batcave so much!
I like the building toys and paint studios.
legos are great. i also love the kid science experiments
I look forward to my boys being old enough to put together models… so model cars, trains, planes, etc.
Definitely Legos or anything our son can build with. He loves building things.
So many great choices. Legos are always so popular. Loved the dragon and of course, anything Mario related goes over well.
You can never go wrong with Legos! They will be played with for years and years. I love seeing what my kids come up with.
Those are great choices! We have the dragon and Zoomer and my boy loves them both.
I guess the most creative we’ve been with my great nephew is dressing him up in costumes. He seemed to enjoy it 🙂
