Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) 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.
2) Wooden Tabletop Horseracing Game
Gallop to a victory. This horseracing board game has you race against other jockeys to reach the finish line first. It combines dice, cards, and little pegged horses that are full of nostalgic charm. The wooden board is handcrafted in Missouri and is made with the mission to bring families together for an old-school (and fun) screen-free game night.
3) Wave-Powered Surfer
Surfer Dudes: Wave-Powered Surfer - Aussie Alice (Purple)
4) 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.
5) Kid's Animal Weighted Lap Pad
