It can be difficult to guess what younger boys might like for Christmas. In my experience with my own son, he’ll get really into something specific and end up with so much stuff from that range that there’s nothing left to buy! That’s when you need some inspiration. This list of gift ideas for infant school-aged boys should help you choose some fabulous gifts to make them smile!
Hape Fire Engine
We’ve always been a fan of Hape’s high quality wooden toys. Wooden toys are often seen as for much younger preschoolers, but I think they’re great for school-age children too. My son is 5 and still plays with all his wooden toys, he also loves this fire engine complete with fire fighter and his dog.
Toys like this help encourage imaginative play and tend to grow with the child as their story-telling becomes more advanced.
Personalised Gifts
Personalised gifts are a great way to make your child feel special. Having your own name and a special message on something you really want is such an exciting thing to receive. Our son has just started playing football with other local four and five year olds and he’s really into it.
This watch from Gift Pup is the perfect present for any football fans, but there are also other designs that can be personalised if your little person has other hobbies too.
Robozuna
Robozuna is a fun show on Netflix that will appeal to any robot fans out there. These Robozuna figures from the Battle ‘n’ Build multipack will build bot-battling to life. Each figure has punching and defending features – if you punch your rival’s head, it’s breastplate pops off!
Slurpees Snot Suckers
These little Slurpees are hungry and all they want is slime! Squeeze them and push their noses into the slime to suck it up, then squeeze them again to let it all run out. Super gross and super fun, your little one will love it!

Orangutwang
Orangutwang is an exciting twist on a modern classic. Add to the orangutan’s load until he twangs off the vine! The games is full of suspense and provides hours of fun. Both my kids are addicted to this game and spend lots of time playing nicely together while giggling loudly! Read my Orangutwang review!

Gelli Baff
Turn your regular bath into jelly with this fun sensory kit. Add the red sachet to a shallow bath and watch it turn into jelly, then when it’s time to get out, add the white sachet to dissolve the mixture and help it drain easier. It feels great, smells fruity and makes bath time fun!

Crate Creature
Crate Creatures are mischievous beasts that arrive locked in a crate! You don’t know which one you’ll get until you unleash the beast from its crate, and then you can really get to know it. We have Blizz whose eyes flash while he grumbles and he seems to enjoy having his tongue pulled! He likes rough and tumble and makes a great companion for a child who enjoys the company of lively little friends!
