When the pandemic shut down the local Ninja gyms, our friends replaced their memberships with this fun obstacle-course kit for the backyard. The kit consists of a sturdy, 56-foot slack line with rings, monkey bars, and rope ladder obstacles—all of which can hold up to 440 pounds. Provided you have two trees that are 15 to 40 feet apart , it’s a cinch to tether the kit and attach the rope obstacles, and then reconfigure them to create new challenges. For more than a year now, the course has proved irresistible to our prospective mini ninjas—and even the adults have taken a crack at it to assess their potential for American Ninja Warrior fame.

There are many different styles and designs, so you can get them something personalized to make it extra special. Are you trying to find the perfect gift that isn’t a toy? Whether you are buying something for your little one or your favorite niece or nephew, there are many excellent non-toy gifts for kids to choose from.

Adults tend to appreciate the stress relief that comes along with spending more than five minutes on something that doesn’t involve a screen. They also like the Wakka’s lovely, minimalist aesthetic. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why it’s so satisfying, but I do know that I could play with it for hours if my kiddo would only let me have a turn. My daughter loves the tactile and squishy texture of Crayola’s Model Magic. She’s used it to mold everything from a fantastical landscape of fairy houses to a family of tiny pigs.
Bedding, particularly if they are moving to a bigger bed or updating their room to a more "big kid" style, can be a fun option, too.

Kids will love making their own LEGO tractor and have fun playing with the vehicle, two mini figures, and other farm gear. A wonderful addition to arts and crafts supplies, these eight dotting markers have a simple twist-off cap, are sized just right, dry quickly, and are fully washable.

Affordable, durable, and easy to use, we love this STEM toy for its overall value. Made for ages four and up, it encourages kids to learn how to code with screen-free play. Following the included storybook, kids will solve STEM problems and build new skills. It also has a play mode, which will engage kids in pretend pet play where they feed, walk, and pet the included dogs, Ranger and Zip. Even if your kid isn't into STEM, this is a great toy to help them learn the responsibilities of caring for his own pet and allows them to build their independence and sense of responsibility. Reviewers note that the toy is very durable, and they love how it inspires fun while still being educational.

A SLEEPING BAG – I also gave our kids a mini (plug-in) night light with this gift, so they could use both on their next sleepover at their grandma’s house or when we went on a trip. You could pair this with a new bag, a Going to Grandma’s Tote, or a note about having a cousin or friend spend the night.
They won’t even realize they’re supposed to be learning, it’ll all seem like a big game. The Kidzone bumper car makes a brilliant gift for 5 year old boys who like their toys to be unique. With 10 bright colors to choose from, this ride-on is just like the cars at the fairground, and will spin and bump with flashing lights, at a safe 0.75 MPH. Even though they may think they’re big kids, 5-year-old boys are still pretty young and might not be ready for certain toys. Games with mature themes and overly complex products aren’t a good idea for this age group.
Simply place the spaghetti pieces across the bowl, put the Yeti on top, and carefully remove each piece of spaghetti without the Yeti falling in the bowl. Various orange juice squeeze gadgets, Apple peeler corer and slicer, electric popcorn popper with the yellow cover that allows you to watch the corn pop. Ice cream maker, meat grinder that screws on to the table, A potato ricer, Butter maker…a jar works when shook long enough.
