Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Kids Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Too much screen time for little eyes? Try a pair of blue light blocking glasses for kids. The flexible, playtime-friendly specs have polycarbonate lenses that block up to 35% of HEV—aka blue—light from a phone, tablet, or computer screen that can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and disrupt sleep. These glasses also block 100% UVA and UVB rays for even more eye protection.
2) Coordination Game - Mini
TrueBalance: Coordination Game - Mini - Blue
3) Katamino Brain Teaser Puzzle
Katamino is a brain teaser puzzle with 500 engaging solo challenges that progress in difficulty level, so you’ll want to keep returning for more. Its board and colorful interlocking pieces are crafted with wood, making it a great looking and engaging way to play.
4) Smartphone Enabled Kids' Camera
Budding photographers can get snap-happy with this smartphone case that turns the phone into a camera just for kids. The classic point-and-shoot design protects the phone while letting kids access its camera function. Plug the phone into the case and connect to the app, and let the little photogs take it from there—they can even edit shots and explore photography-themed play, too.
5) Kids Active Sitting Stool
Kids can start building better sitting habits when they’re young. This Made in the USA ergonomic stool encourages them to make small movements that help with circulation, breathing, and keeping their mind more alert. Unlike a stability ball, ErgoErgo looks cool and won’t roll away.
