You’ve reached a new milestone: Your child has hit double digits! *insert airhorns and/or trumpet fanfare here* And while they’ve probably been counting down the days until they hit 10, we’re going to go ahead and guess that this snuck up on you pretty quickly. But if you were worried, don’t be: Ten-year-old boys are the best. They’re officially Big Kids, but the emphasis is very much still on the “kid.” So we’ve put together a list of toys, games, and activities that celebrate this wonderful age with gifts for 10-year-old boys they’re going to love.
Full of curiosity, energy, and silliness (if you think dad jokes are bad, you should hang out with a 10-year-old boy sometime), there’s something uniquely delightful about being this age, and these gifts are sure to please. From science kits to Lego to puzzles to toys that can keep up with all that energy, we’ve got something for the tweenager in your life.
This oversized bean bag chair is the perfect addition to a 10-year-old bedroom. It’s a convenient and comfortable spot to game, read, or just chill. It comes with a soft, velvety cover, is filled with high-density memory foam, and has an invisible zipper.
HearthSong Jump2It Indoor/Outdoor Bouncy Jumping Shoes
You’re always saying they’re bouncing off the walls, so give them the right footwear! The underside of the shoes is covered in nonslip, non-scratch treads so even indoor flooring is safe. These are like mini trampolines for your feet and are a perfect way to burn all that energy!
Your tween and his friends can have some friendly outdoor competition with this cornhole board set because the bags light up, as well as the targets. The set comes equipped with two boards, a built-in bean bag return, and eight bean bags. The boards fold and are easily transportable, too.
For some 10-year-old boys, fidgeting is a great way to get their creative juices flowing. This unique fidget allows him to create his own robots, creatures, devices, and much more! Not only are they a ton of fun, but they can help encourage spatial reasoning and creativity.
Amazon 5th Generation Echo Dot
Your 10-year-old boy will love listening to music, podcasts, playing games, and keeping on top of his tasks with this 5th generation Echo Dot. And don’t worry: easy-to-set parental controls will allow you to make sure everything he’s listening to meets your approval.

NINTENDO GAMES Splatoon 3 – Nintendo Switch
In a sun-scorched desert known as the Splatlands live the Inklings and Octolings, who take part in a Turf War. Who will conquer this realm, including the chaotic city of Splatsville. This is the third game in the series, beloved by many of the 10-year-old boys we know.
In this fast-paced, air hockey-esque game, your 10-year-old boy will have to rely on quick reflexes. Move your piece along the sturdy wooden board via a magnet underneath and try to keep your opponent from scoring on your goal. Don’t forget to avoid the free-floating “biscuits” (magnets) along the way!
Your 10-year-old boy is probably a little too young to be working on a real engine just yet, but by building this model of a classic, four-cycle internal combustion gasoline car engine, they’ll be prepared for the real thing. They’ll have fun putting everything together and playing with the valves, cranks, pistons, and much more.
With this toy, you throw it as a disc but catch it as a ball. Flatten it down simply by pressing and then give it a toss; as it flies through the air it will pop back into place as a ball. Super satisfying and super fun.
We’ll admit it: this toy is as much for the kid in us as it is for our 10-year-old boy. Charge this toy, toss it in the air and watch it soar, controlling it with your hand beneath (but not touching) it. Perfect for pretending to be a wizard or a Jedi.
Playing darts is fun, but we don’t love the idea of a 10-year-old boy flinging pointy projectiles every which way, so why not a toy with all the fun and none of the ER visits?
This two-sided target board set contains 12 Velcro balls (in different colors for team play). Perfect to play solo or with friends.

Plus, the thumb grip covers have functional benefits, like reduced wrist fatigue and more accuracy.

Just enter a four-digit password to get access to your funds. (If he forgets, don’t worry, there’s an override system in place!)
Whether he’s been wistfully watching older kids doing tricks at the skatepark or just wants to try something new, we love this sturdy but simple skateboard for 10-year-old boys. It’s the perfect board to get the hang of all the fundamentals, from balance to ollies.
