When you’re looking for cool toys for boys, we can help! From all things dinosaur to the very best puzzles and games, we feature high-quality, durable toys. Plus, we’ve got a line of outdoor toys that can really hold up to the roughest play styles. Read on to discover which of our toys works best for your boy (or tomboy!).
1. Outdoor Toys
Speaking of outdoor toys, let’s begin with the coolest beach or pool activity: Surfer Dudes! This line features a boy or girl on most toys. However, there are also two specific items that include a shark or an uncharacteristically smiley T-rex. Either way, the included surf board means lots of fun at the beach. Simply place them in the water, and they’ll ride the waves like a real surfer!
Another option, if your child is old enough to play a sport at dusk in your background, is our Tangle NightBall options. Choose from a basketball, football, volleyball, or soccer ball. Now, the fun doesn’t have to end just because it’s starting to get dark!
2. Culture and Historical Toys
Culture and historical toys can run the gamut from dinosaurs through the 20th century. For example, our Dino Dexter kits feature a velociraptor claw or a mineral dig kit. Meanwhile, Dino Dana allows your child to bring their favorite baby dinosaur to ‘life.’ Each comes enclosed in an egg with its own unique bar code. Once you scan it, augmented reality takes care of the rest!
Alternatively, our Days of Old® Designer Toob enables endless tales of heroism and woe. Simply choose the setting to place them in, then let your child’s imagination soar. They’ll receive six characters:
- Magnus the Wizard
- Queen Sofia
- Medea the Witch
- King Alfred
- Princess Juliet
- Prince Patrick
3. Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Learning
If your son (or tomboy daughter) is into dinosaurs, then our prehistoric learning fun is where it’s at! Our line of 70-piece, 3D puzzles includes three dinosaur options: Spinosaurus, T-Rex, and Triceratops. These puzzles become toys once they're fully built, too.
An alternative option that encourages them to build is LEGO’s Baby Dinosaur Rescue Center. This 139-piece set was designed for kids 4 years old and up. The best part is that it teaches the importance of caring for others. It features several figures, including:
- Baby Ankylosaurus
- Baby Triceratops
- Baby Velociraptor
- Small Velociraptor
- Adult Pteranodon
4. Puzzles and Games
Puzzles and games provide kids with an opportunity to improve their memory, fine motor skills, and problem-solving skills. For the games category, we’ve got many options that will make your son smile. For instance, any child who loves sharks will enjoy our Beware of the Shark game. This game of quick reactions is for those 6 and up. Anywhere from 2 to 5 players can further develop their executive function skills as they avoid the shark attack!
Meanwhile, Moody Snakes Game & Puzzle combines the best of both worlds. After assembling the snake, players roll the wooden dice to put the snake back in his container. Another option is provided by EUGY with their extensive line of 3D puzzles. Whether your son enjoys lions, tigers, or bears (oh my!), you’ll be able to find the perfect puzzle for them.
5. Figurines
What child doesn’t love figurines? Especially when we’ve got a full line of ultra-realistic looking toys! No matter what your child is interested in, we can satisfy their tastes. After all, we’ve got figurines of real-life animals, mystical critters, and those who have long since been extinct.
Many boys go through a phase where they’re interested in dark mystical creatures. If this is where your child is at, then we’ve got many toys to please them such as:
Another phase that many boys go through is being overly interested in so-called ‘gross’ creatures. Fortunately, we also have a cobra toy, along with a figurine of a burmese python. Additionally, you’ll be able to find bugs and arachnids, which should really make your son happy!
6. Musical Options
Does your son enjoy making music everywhere he goes? Our Animambo Musical Carnival features four musical instruments in one! Designed for those 2 and up, this musical carnival helps them develop their motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Plus, it’s made of TSCA Title VI compliant plywood, which is sturdy enough to last through each music session.
If you’ve got a Toniebox, then we’ve got the perfect topper! The Red Monster Creative-Tonie can hold up to 90 minutes of your child’s favorite custom content. Also, the Red Monster will help your child strengthen family bonds, share songs and stories, and show off their limitless imagination.
7. Plush and Stuffed Animals
Some people think that plushies are for girls only, but they couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, simply visiting the first page of our plush options reveals several toys your boy will love such as:
- Midnight Dragon Wristlet Puppet
- Mini Firefly Puppet
- Bernie the Gator Plush
- Dinosaur Egg Stuffed Animal Puppet
- Aurora Eco Nation Alligator Plush
Giving your son a plushie provides psychological benefits that can last into adulthood. Some of the key functions of a stuffed animal include emotional support, comfort, imaginative play, and emotional and social skills. In fact, if you want your child to have a true sense of safety, then it’s in your best interests to get them a stuffed animal that they’ll truly love.
Choose Cool Toys for Your Boy
Boys often place a large emphasis on being cool, particularly as they begin to grow up. It’s important to balance their hunt for all things cool with educational toys, though. Each of the items we listed above will look cool to your son, while also helping them develop new skills.
Safari Ltd is dedicated to walking the line between educational toys and coolness. That’s why our figurines are so realistic-looking! After all, what could be cooler than playing with werewolf and bigfoot toys?
