13 Gifts for Preschooler Boys

Sharing is caring!

Having a 3 year old son doesn’t make me an expert in gifts for preschooler boys. It certainly helps in knowing what their interests may be at this age but every kid is different. Some are obsessed with trains and know all the names of Thomas’ friends, others are into Lego building. If you need a clue, look at the birthday invitation for the theme but then so will everybody else and the birthday boy may end up with several gifts of the same kind. When my friend Marv told me last week that her daughter had been invited to 4 birthday parties and she had no idea what to get the birthday kids( all boys), I thought of running a search to find those perfect gifts that any preschooler boy would love to receive. Here is a list of 13 gift ideas from sport equipment to science kit that boys (and their parents – hint: the Foam Pogo Jumper can be used by all ages and many parents happily gave it a try over and over again!) will enjoy.

GIFTS FOR PRESCHOOLER BOYS WHO LOVE SPORTS

Foam Pogo Jumper by Kidoozie. 

Jumping fun for preschooler boys to burn out their energy! It’s great for outdoor play but when the weather is bad , you can still use it inside. It is made from soft, durable foam and will accommodate children of all heights and can support up to 250 pounds.

The Ready, Set, School! kit is a great way to prepare pre-schoolers for their very first day of school.
