Little boys take a fancy to drums and cymbals, rather quickly. Present him a flash beat drum with drumsticks or other musical instruments such as a small keyboard, a mouth organ, or a xylophone. As an added benefit, musical instruments aid in the development of your baby’s hand-eye coordination!

4. Giddy Up, Ride-On Play Horse

5. Race Car

There’s something about baby boys and toy cars! A two or three-tier race car carrier stacked with many different race cars will make you your baby’s favorite within no time! With this gift, the entire family can play together and enjoy as your little one cackles and rolls with laughter after banging the cars against each other!

6. Active Play Gym Set

It may be difficult to take the child to a soft play area or an outdoor play area quite often. An active play gym set at home almost hits a home run with the little one! A slide, a monkey climbing area, and a ball pit together in one place may be a little space-consuming. But it is surely rewarding! Watch your son climb up and swoosh down the slide, and develop his gross motor skills!

7. Monkey Bars Tower

Some children begin to take independent steps well before their first birthday. Most take a while before they can walk without support. A cute walker wagon/walker bus/walker truck can get your baby boy fascinated in no time!

A sturdy design and a child-safe product make for a brilliant first birthday gift. Add a shopping trolley to the walker after the baby has started walking independently and watch how he fills it up with his toys and mimics your shopping behavior thereafter!

9. Basketball Hoops

Basket ball hoops.

An effective way to get your child engaged in physical activities and sport is getting a small basketball hoop in your nursery.

What’s more, your child learns social behavior and sportsmanship right from this tender age!

Have a splendid birthday party!
