I’ll be the first to admit it: I don’t know much about little boys. Possibly not a single thing. I’m WELL AWARE of the irony that I’m writing this post, but really you have the boy moms in my life to thank for it! They came through with the best recommendations, and I’ll probably be referencing this for the rest of my life haha.
Waytoplay 16-Piece Expressway: What is it about boys and cars?! I’m all for versatility, and the pieces can be put together in 8 million different ways and used both inside and out.
Suction Cup Basketball Hoop: So I think this is technically designed for the bathtub, but there’s no reason why it can’t be used on other smooth surfaces. The reviews say the suction is super powerful. Plus, it’s WAY more compact than standalone hoops.
LCD Writing Tablet: I got the girls writing tablets like this one a while back and they’re *still* a hit. It’s like screen time, but not. And how adorable is the alligator (or is it a crocodile?) design?!
Melissa & Doug Vroom & Zoom Interactive Wooden Dashboard: Melissa & Doug is the best. I think of toys like this like Mario Kart, minus the screen.
VTech PAW Patrol Learning Pup Watch: I’m obviously very pro-learning, and if it takes a digital Paw Patrol watch to get the job done, then so be it! There are four different learning games, plus a stopwatch and timer, which is a pretty good value for the price if you ask me.
Micro Kickboard Mini Deluxe Micro Scooter: Carly’s son Jack has one of these and is obsessed, which is honestly the only endorsement I need. It’s a lean-to-steer, which is supposed to provide stability to little kids still learning how to balance.
Dino Egg Bath Bombs: Okay, these are SO cool. As these cute dino egg bath bombs dissolve in the water, they start to reveal actual dino toys. The former teacher in me loves the included educational cards about each species.
Jellycat Sausage Dog: My girls have built quite the collection of Jellycats over the years. Turns out, boys love them too! Once I saw the dachshund, there was no question which one I was going to feature. I just HAD TO, you know?
Transformers Bumblebee Action Figure: Did you guys know that Transformers were still a thing? Apparently I missed the memo… which makes sense haha. Anyway, it’s a classic! And either way, the whole robot-and-vehicle-in-one thing is pretty cool.
Wooden Tool Workbench: This workbench is a) not ugly, b) super affordable, and c) well-reviewed. If you have the space, go for it!
