Top 15 Best Toys and Gift Ideas for 4-Year-Old Boys (2020 Review)

It’s a great gift for little boys and girls that like to role play. You never know it might spark the little chef inside them.

In addition to this diner set you could also purchase the Melissa and Doug 41-piece restaurant playset.

This specific set includes the play center with tables and seating, the chef’s area includes realistic burners with dials, an extra-large oven, two-shelf refrigerator, pretend shake machine, and at the dining area, there is a pretend jukebox with a coin slot and coin.

The set includes 120 chunky plastic bolts, a reversible drill, a screwdriver, a combination wrench, two drill bits, and 20 activity cards. The cards contain pictures of patterns that create objects for, example, a rocket ship.

The child has to match the colored bolts to the ones on the card and then drill them into the drill board to create the picture they see.

Spike is made out of plastic and he comes with a Little Spike figure, 2 pieces of armor, 3 fireball projectiles, a badge, and instruction. The saddle has space for a Guardians of Harmony pony friend but it is sold separately. 

Spike roars and makes stomping sounds. The fireballs can be shot out of his mouth, his eyes light up and Little Spike just adds to the imaginative fun.

It’s one cool dragon!

This play tent comes with some bonus items; a sword and shield! The Knights Castle tent can be used indoors and outdoors however it isn’t waterproof so it should be taken down when it’s not being used outside.

The easy pop-up feature makes it a breeze to get it set up and the carrying case is convenient for carrying and storage.

For use outdoors they’ve made sure to include secure ground stakes to keep it from blowing away in the wind. Two mesh windows keep the fresh air flowing and there’s even a roll up flap as the door.

It provides a little hide away for little ones to take the space they might want or need.

The set includes a plush puppy, an animal carrier, a food and water dish, veterinary tools, a collar, and toy grooming tools. There is also a paw printed tote bag too.

All of the toys and accessories can be stored in the puppy’s carrier for easy storage and taking along for fun.

The owl is 17-inches tall and stuffed with soft stuffing. The attention to detail could make some do a double take after seeing it.

It is beautiful and would make a great gift for animal and nature lovers. The design and material used to make the talons makes it so the owl can stand alone and even be perched on a child’s arm.

The rim of the umbrella has yellow safety caps that add to the style, the clamshell handle has a Batman logo on it with a black nylon carrying cord and a black velcro strap. Kids will be excited to see the rain just to use this umbrella.

The child safety designed umbrella is really easy to open and close to avoid little fingers getting pinched. The rod is durable and lightweight and all you have to do to clean it is wipe it off with a damp cloth.

There are two color and style options available. It would make a great Christmas present and it comes in various sizes.

It’s durable enough to handle the outdoors and rough and tumble play while keeping the kids warm and cozy. It is unisex and the sizes run up to an 8.

You read that right, the tool bet also comes with a soft donut and a spot to carry it.

The set comes with a soft measuring tape that really works, a plastic saw, hammer, and screwdriver. Of course, the pretend donut. Your little one will be practicing numbers, counting, and measuring skills on top of letting those imaginations soar.

Responsibility is a big part of independence and at this age kids are always searching for independence and a sense of freedom.

The set comes with one sink, one base, two cups, two plates, a faucet, a washing brush, a bottle of pretend detergent, and utensils. There’s also a dish strainer!

It’s best to be played outdoors because kids and water… need we say more? Fill the water storage space, turn on the faucet, and have some scrubbing bubble fun with your kiddos.

The Cozy Pumper looks like a real gas pump minus the silly happy eyes. There are three weather-proof fuel buttons that make six fun sounds.

There is a built-in credit card machine and a place to swipe fake cards. 

It’s a great addition for kids that have Little Tikes cars because they almost always have the little gas tank area. It’s a great way to get little ones to become engaged in pretend play.

Put it close to their outdoor playhouse where they park their play cars and they will love it!

Playing with building blocks can improve hand-eye coordination, build pincer muscles in the hands, strengthen dexterity, and so much more. This is one of the smaller sets. It's nice for Mickey fans and car lovers.

It is made using recycled milk jugs and is incredibly durable. They made sure to create toddler tough toys for toddlers.

Your little one will be working on their fin and gross motor skills, practicing counting, and using their imagination as they pick-up and drop off cars.

The base can be filled with sand or water to make the hoop more sturdy and stable. It makes it harder for kids to drag it around and keeps them safe.

The adjustable height settings allow it to grow with your child and if you have smaller kids you can bring it down to their level.

Kids love the accessories and the fake muscles. It can be ordered in various sizes but there are no color or styles available for this costume.

Some little guy is going to have a blast and feel the part the next time they get into their ninja pretend play. Something about these costumes gets kids motivated to shut off those tablets and exercise.
