I do my best to get Ryan to keep himself entertained without the use of the t.v. or video games, since that seems to be the go-to for 8-year old boys. Both are severely limited in our house, so giving him gifts that encourage him to PLAY is a big goal of mine.
Here are some items that Ryan has (and loves) and a few that he'll be getting for Christmas this year...
 |
| Nerf Dart Gun with Suction Darts - you'll want to get two of these because your husband might monopolize this new toy if you just buy one |
 |
| Bow and Arrow Set - huge, huge, huge hit with the 6-10 year old boy crowd...and the 10-50 year old boy crowd |
 |
| The Lego Ideas Book - Ryan is really into Legos, specifically Star Wars Legos, and this book gives him tons of ideas for building creations! |
 |
| Magic Set (although I'll warn you that when Ryan got his kit a couple of years ago, he was devastated that the magic tricks were TRICKS, not actual MAGIC) |
 |
| For the sports enthusiast: a Fathead of your child playing their favorite sport for their bedroom |
What are some of your gift recommendations for elementary-aged boys?

My son loves Snapcircuits JR. (485 5-star reviews can't be wrong), he is only 5, but the box says 8+. My son plays it daily, independently which is a total miracle! It is educational, and awesome and I can't recommend it enough!
