Five-year-old boys are full of life and ready to explore the world! At this special age, they love to play, learn, and try new things. Some days they might act like big kids, and other days they still want lots of hugs and cuddles. That’s what makes five such a wonderful age!
What makes a great gift for a 5-year-old boy? They’re at that perfect age where they’re starting to figure out what they like. Some love to run and jump, others like to draw and create, and many enjoy both! They’re also starting school and making new friends, which opens up a whole new world of fun.
We’ve put together a list of gifts that 5-year-old boys will love. Whether your little one likes sports, science, art, or just playing make-believe, you’ll find something here that will make their eyes light up. These gifts aren’t just fun – they’ll help your child learn and grow too!
1. Marvel Spider-Man Costume
Does your little one love Spider-Man? If they’re always playing superhero and climbing on everything (somehow even getting to the top of the kitchen cabinets!), this Spider-Man costume is perfect. Now they can look just like their favorite hero while they save the day!
2. Slumberkins Hammerhead Kin
This cute Hammerhead Shark toy comes with its own storybook that helps kids learn about feelings. The shark looks friendly and huggable, and teaches children that feeling angry is normal – but it’s good to learn how to calm down and breathe when big feelings come.
3. Tiny Land Fort Building Kit
Your child will have a sturdy fort that stays up all day for reading, playing, or having secret club meetings. No more hearing “Mom! Dad! The fort fell again!” every few minutes. When playtime is over, the rods quickly come apart and fit into a neat carry bag – much better than trying to fold up chairs and clip blankets together. It’s perfect for rainy days, sleepovers, or anytime your child wants their own special space.
4. KaeKid Remote-Control Robot
This cool robot is like having a tiny electronic buddy that listens to your commands! Using the remote control, kids can make it go forward, backward, turn around, and even show off some funky dance moves. Its bright LED eyes blink and glow, giving it a friendly face that kids love.
5. LEGO City Barn and Farm Animals Toys
The set comes with everything a young farmer needs – a big red barn that opens up, friendly farm animals like cows, pigs, and chickens, farmer figures to take care of them, and a shiny tractor that really rolls. The pieces are just the right size for small hands, and kids can create all sorts of stories as they feed the animals, harvest crops, or drive their tractor around the farm.
6. Hasbro Gaming Classic Jenga
Jenga is one of those perfect games that gets everyone excited. Players take turns pulling out wooden blocks from the tower and placing them carefully on top. Each move makes the tower a little bit taller – and a lot more wobbly! Kids who are patient and steady-handed will love the challenge of gently sliding out blocks without disturbing the rest of the tower
7. Retevis Long Range Walkie-Talkies
These tough walkie-talkies are made just for kids but they’re built strong to handle lots of play. They come in a pair and work really well – your child can talk to friends who live down the street or a few houses away. The best part for parents? You can lock the channel settings, which means kids can only talk to other kids who have the same walkie-talkies.
8. Paw Patrol Collectable Action Figures
This toy set brings their favorite puppy heroes home, with all six main pups – Chase the police pup, Marshall the fire pup, Skye who flies, Rubble the construction pup, Rocky who recycles, and Zuma who loves the water. After watching the movies and TV shows, kids can make up their own rescue stories with these action figures.
9. Melissa & Doug Children’s Loom
This isn’t your typical childhood loom – Melissa & Doug’s wooden version is bigger and better! It comes packed with 91 yards of colorful rainbow yarn, a wooden needle, and project ideas to get started. Kids can also use their own yarn to create whatever designs spark their imagination.

Want to go camping without leaving home? This toy RV has everything – comfy beds, cool air, and no bugs! Kids can build it themselves and help the little family of three go on cozy adventures.
15. Tonies Toniebox Starter Set
Help your 5-year-old discover the magic of stories with this easy-to-use speaker! Just put one of the 159 toy characters on top of the Toniebox, and it starts telling tales – no reading needed. Your starter kit comes with one character, perfect for bedtime stories or quiet playtime.
16. Schleich Antarctic Expedition Playset
We love Schleich toy sets because they look and feel amazing. This set will make your 5-year-old so happy – it comes with a brave explorer, some sled dogs, a snow house (called an igloo), and a friendly penguin to keep them company.
17. Hasbro Operation the Game
In this fun board game, players use tweezers to carefully remove exciting items from the patient – like pulling a frog from their throat or fixing their funny bone. It’s exciting and a bit scary when the buzzer goes off! Kids will improve their steady hands and careful movements while playing.
18. LEGO City Space Shuttle
Your child can zoom into space with this cool building set. They’ll create their own space shuttle with two brave space pilots. When they land, they can build a special car (called a rover) to collect space rocks and bring them home.
19. iPlay, iLearn Automatic Pitching Machine
Playing catch with your little leaguer is always a blast, but sometimes you just need to get back to work, cook dinner, or take a quick break. That’s where this handy machine comes in! It automatically pitches baseballs or tennis balls every five to seven seconds, so you can enjoy the game even when you’re on the go.
20. Razor Dune Buggy
He already has a bike, but he’s always looking for a thrill. This classic dune buggy is just the thing for him, especially since he’s a kid. It can even hold up to a 120-pound driver. It’s got a 350-watt electric motor that can get him going up to 9 mph. Just a heads up, a helmet isn’t included, but it’s definitely a good idea to wear one.
