Birthday Gift Ideas For 8 Year Old Boys

If your son’s birthday is just around the corner but you still don’t have even the slightest clue on what to get him, do not despair.  It is easy to get lost in all of the toys, and brands, and flashy advertisements out there.  Since you only want the best for your tot, here are a couple of birthday gift ideas for 8 year old boys to help you out.

ZOOBMobile Car Designer 76

Boys are always fond of racing their little toy cars around, so for the slightly older bunch, how about actually getting to build one, or two, or even three at once? 

With the ZOOBMobile Car Designer 76, the choices are endless.  But to get the creative juices flowing, this kit comes with instructions to creating 12 different styles - 12 Wheeler Flatbed, Gear Getter, Outback Cruiser, Zoob Duster, Lunar Rover, Mach 5, Moon Unit Raker, Racer, Speed Runner, Supersonic Stinger, Tri-Sonic Cruiser, ZOOB Buggy, and ZOOBster.  The rest will be up to you.

Aside from instructions, this car designer set comes complete with everything you need to make your own creations.  There are 76 ZOOB pieces that are all specially designed and specially colored, and you will also get 12 wheels that have rubber tires connected to some gears.

LEGO Hogwarts Game (3862)

Another one of the birthday gift ideas for 8 year old boys is the LEGO Hogwarts Game (3862).  If you have a Harry Potter fan and a kiddo who is loco for LEGO, then this is an absolute must have. 

This game is fun from the very minute you take the pieces out of the box.  Actually, what is nice about all the LEGO games is that you will even have to build up the whole board unlike traditional board games.  In that sense, it stays true to what LEGO really is all about. 

With this specific one, it takes on a Harry Potter theme- from the goal, which is to submit your homework first, to the obstacles, such as shifting stairs and wizard duels, up to the tokens, which include Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, and Albus Dumbledore to name a few.  Perfect for 2-4 players.

This game has 332 LEGO pieces, 9 micro figures, 1 buildable LEGO die, and of course, a set of instructions.

Spectacular Magic Show with Performance Table

From playing the role of a wizard to being a performing magician, the Spectacular Magic Show with Performance Table is next on the list.  This set is perfect for any budding Houdini out there.  It comes complete with props such a magic hat and a magician’s table. 

It has tons of neat magic tools, such as cups and balls, a special card deck, disappearing dice, and the magic drawer.  With all these and more, your little man will be able to learn a total of 100 tricks through an instructional video as well as a set of written steps too.

With this jam packed suitcase of magic, your kid will easily be able to put on an awesome show.
