What to give a boy of 8-9 years?

Boys in 8-9 years have already gone out of kindergarten age, but have not yet become teenagers. Active, impulsive, emotional, they have already begun to realize themselves and look for their place in this world. "Adult" judgments of young men are replaced by purely childish actions. At this age, boys begin to appreciate the friendship and attention of their peers. Consider what you can give to boys of this age, so that the gift becomes really dear to them.

Like all children, boys of primary school age are eagerly awaiting the onset of one of the most joyous children's holidays of the year - their birthday. Friends and relatives come to visit, giving fun and gifts to the birthday man. On the eve of the holiday, the family faces the task of choosing a gift that will be useful and at the same time please the boy.

A boy of 8 years old is characterized by curiosity, the spirit of the discoverer is burning in him, which will not calm down for a long time - neither at 9, nor at 10 years.

Besides, because of the peculiarity of age, it will be better if you give something material that can be touched, turned on, assembled, disassembled, made.

An unusual birthday present for an 8–9-year-old boy is an opportunity to take part in an adventure quest with friends. Hide the gift, make a pirate vintage card, think over exciting tasks:

As a result, an amazing adventure will please the son, remaining in his memory for a long time.

Thinking about the adventure, it is worth considering the child will pass it alone or with the help of friends. If the boy goes alone, you can use a single object as a souvenir. In case of completing the quest with the help of friends at the end of the path, you need to hide the treasure chest so that there are enough souvenirs in this chest for all participants. It can be inexpensive toys in the form of figures, chips with anime characters that boys love to exchange.

Choosing a gift for a boy of primary school age, we must not forget about the school, which is an important component of children's life.
