My Top 5 Picks of Cool Christmas Gifts for 4 to 6 Year Old Boys:
Are you looking for ideas about Christmas gifts for young boy between the ages of 4 to 6 years old? Have boys this age that you need to find gifts for this Christmas, but don't want just the top selling toys on television to be the only thing that your child finds under the tree this year. Are you just looking for some ideas that will make the boys this age on your list smile and think your the best? Then read this list of 5 ideas or recommendations from a mother of two sons that has purchased toys for this age.
1. Legos:
My first pick is Lego, those little blocks have been around for years and they just seem to be getting better. The best thing is they come in a variety of different sets that will appeal to any boy this age and they grow with them every year. These sets also come in a range of sizes and prices for any budget. My favorite sets for boys this age are the, Lego Building Sets that come in a box, Lego City and Many of the Duplo sets. The Lego City series are for boys between the ages of 5 to 12 years. If you don't want to purchase the series set, then the block sets in their own box are the best starter set for boys this age. My boys started with the basic set first and kept adding more sets every year.2. Wood Building Blocks:
My second pick is building blocks made from wood. You can either purchase a set or have someone in the family make these for that special boy. My dad made wood toy blocks for my sons and them loved them. The nice thing about these sets is you can also find them at arts and crafts show from different woodworkers and you are not limited to just building blocks. Some woodworker's make cars, trains and name puzzles. These toys last a long time and are a very special gift to any child as not everyone in the neighborhood owns these toys.
3. Role Playing Costume Sets:
This gift idea is not just for little girls any more. Little boys love to wear costumes too. These costumes let them use their imaginations and pretend to be their favorite superhero, a firemen or policemen. Young boys enjoy mimicking the adult men in their lives or their favorite superhero on T.V and role playing is one way for them to learn about the world around them. These costume sets from Melissa and Doug allow them to dress just like their role models and not just for Halloween. These set are more for a 4 year old or younger boy. Another type of toy along this line is cooking pots and pans or food play sets that allow them to have fun preparing their own meals. 
4. Trains, Planes and Car Sets:
The next pick on my top five list are train, planes and car sets. I have not met a young boy yet that isn't in love with these types of toys. From the little wood train that runs across the floor to Thomas the train engine sets that you can purchase in any retail or online store boys love toys that move. Cars sets that race are a blast for this age group and a RC toys made just for this age are a huge hit as they drive them across dirt, sand and more. My sons sent hours playing with these types of toys by themselves and with friends. And lets face it even big boys like these types of toys as many of them still enjoy the hobbies of building train sets, collecting cars or flying RC planes.
5. Action Figures:
My last pick is the classic action figure. These figures are a favorite toy for any boy from GI Joe to Transformers these toys are still going strong. They let young boys act out all their favorite scenes from cartoons,television shows or movies. The action figure is a great way to encourage boys this age to use their imagination and burn off some energy. The range of action figures on the market will appeal to any boy this age as they are based off their favorite superheros, cartoon characters or television shows. Many of these action figures have accessories that are interactive and proved hours of fun play. My favorite action figure sets are Jake and The Never land Pirates and Transformers. Transformers are the action figures that my boys played with when they were young.This is my recommendation of the top 5 Christmas gifts for 4 to 6 year old boys. I wanted to create this list to give parents, grandparents and relatives of boys this age some ideas or suggestions on what they enjoy at this age and how to make buying that Christmas gift for that special boy in your life a little easier for you.
