Gifts for 11 Year Old Boys

11 year old boys are full of wonder and an adventurous spirit. They develop a readiness for taking on some independence and enjoy experimenting with a variety of interests and hobbies to find their place in the world.


As such, buying gifts for 11 year old boys can be tricky. Educational toys remain a popular choice though, particularly with gadgets, gizmos and games that emphasise group play. BrightMinds has a wealth of appropriate options for boys entering the pre-teen phase, and many of them combine the key areas of education, group games and outdoor play. 


Science Kits and Tech Toys

Many 11 year old boys have an immutable curiosity for the world around them. At this age, they want to understand what’s going on behind the scenes of the world they engage with on a daily basis, which is what draws them to science and technology. 


At BrightMinds, we stock a range of STEM toys to encourage learning in key areas. Our science toys and tech gadgets for 11 year old boys are therefore great options. A telescope for scanning the stars, a microscope for inspecting insects, or an AI robot toy are all sure to delight boys in this age group, depending on their areas of interest. These childrens gifts will encourage their analytical skills and guide them through some fun, self-initiated learning in key areas of their education.


Group Games for 11 Year Olds

As 11 year old boys begin to find their place in the world, they become increasingly involved in group activities. We have a range of board games and team-based activities for not just 11 year old boys, but games that appeal to children of multiple age groups as well. This is vital because, at 11, children become more ready to socialise across age groups.


Browse BrightMinds’ great options for group and board games, including Qwirkle, City of Zombies (an engaging maths game for all ages) and Horrible Science’s Germ Attack for some educational fun.


Garden Games for 11 Year Olds

Encouraging 11 year old boys to play with children of other age groups and genders is important, and nothing brings children together quite like a good garden game. Tug of war, badminton and rounders are all great, as they not only encourage socialising but the development of hand eye coordination and motor skills as well. Not to mention the overall health benefits of getting your kids outdoors!
