Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Boys
1) Djubi Classic Slingshot Catch Game
Djubi (joo-bee) is the slingshot toss game that makes classic catch seem underwhelming. Each racket has a deep net for catching and a hook on top to launch the included foam balls. Slip a ball’s latex loop over the hook then pull, point, and release to launch it up to 100 feet. Get your sling on at the park, pool, or beach.
2) Modular Magnetic Building Set
Clixo: Modular Magnetic Building Set - Crew - Blue & Green
3) Plush Hooded Animal Cape - Lobster
This plush hooded animal cape brings charming softness to play time. Designed in Belgium and crafted by hand, it’s a sweet and snuggly way to dress up or chill out. Kids can channel their wild side by pulling on a cape and tucking their hands into its perfectly-sized paws. Time to unwind? It also works as a cozy security blanket with personality.
4) Iconic Structure Toy Construction Set
This scale model kit uses real materials to build a mini replica of a famous place. Step-by-step instructions lead you through the construction of an iconic structure, or you can go freestyle and create your own landmark. Bricks are made with natural materials and non-toxic glue binds it all together.
5) Homestar Planetarium
Project 60, 000 stars onto your ceiling with this high definition planetarium.
