5 YEAR OLD boys are lots of fun, whether they’re into sports, science or everything in between.
The best gifts for 5 year old boys can range from clothing to school supplies, building toys to books.
If you’re looking to get the special 5 year old kid in your life a present, you can’t go wrong with Lego.
While any Lego will likely be a hit, Star Wars-themed Lego is especially cool, and involves fun building sessions that involve the whole family.
Bonus: you can start watching the extensive Star Wars franchise together, too.
Sporty kids or those who like being outdoors will love a new football.
It’s the perfect toy to let out any extra energy before or after school – or to bring along to the park with a friend.

With pages on everyone from David Attenborough to Salvador Dalí, this award-winning book is an inspiring gift to give a 5 year old.
While it’s a brilliant choice for independent readers, parents reading a story or two a night to their boys will get a lot out of it, too.
Says one customer:
‘The book is a collection of stories about inspiring, mainly famous people and something they have done to change the world. 1 person per page.
‘We both learn something new from every single page. And everyone that is written about in the book is so inspiring, and reading their stories instills upon my son things I have always taught, to be kind, to do good, to speak out and to be who you are without worrying about judgement.’
