There’s no doubt about it now - when a boy turns 9 he is officially in his tween years. This may seem like an arbitrary title but can come along with significant changes. He is likely becoming more independent and taking on higher levels of responsibility as he begins to discover his own sense of individuality. This can make buying presents for 9 year old boys tough, as they aren’t always forthcoming with their likes and dislikes. Luckily there are a number of gifts any 9 year old boy would love.
One thing you can usually count on when it comes to 9 year old boys is that they will be interested in something specific. While girls can have more broad interests, boys oftentimes find that one thing that they love and stick with it, whether it be superheroes, learning the drums, Star Wars or a million other potential phases. When searching for a gift, pinpoint what their latest obsession is and run with it.
For tween boys, friendships are crucial to make, maintain and grow. One way that boys tend to bond is by playing games and sports together. Encourage this interaction with a gift that requires two or more players, such as sporting equipment, board games, and interactive toys.
Remember, 9 year old boys are still just boys! Great gifts for their growing and developing minds are ones that will challenge them, requiring patience and problem-solving. Building kits and science experiments are perfect presents for 9 year old boys that will keep them engaged and learning.
