Are you on the lookout for some great Christmas gifts that will really make their mark with family and friends ?
It can be difficult to find the right presents for your loved ones at times but when you get it right there is
nothing better than to see their smiling faces and the joy that the gift gives. With this in mind, here are a few
gift ideas for you to ponder. These are Christmas Gift Ideas For 5 Year Old Boys or boys
around that age for 2011. So if you know of someone that age and you need a gift, this article might be able to
help.
5 year old boys are interested in toys for the main and even the odd gadget or gizmo. So that's what we will
look at.
The first toy is fairly topical, as it is based on a Hollywood blockbuster movie. This is the Optimus Prime: Dark of the Moon figurine. The Dark of the Moon Transformers movie was the
third movie of the franchise. It was supposed to be the finale or conclusion but who knows. It wouldn't surprise me
if they make another one, provided they made enough money out of this last movie.
Optimus Prime is the leader of the transformers. He is the one of the more powerful autobots and ends up
battling it out with the villain Megatron. You can get a ranger of Optimus Prime figurines that vary in price. The
main feature of most of these toys is that it can be transformed back and forth from a huge truck into the fighting
robot that we know as Optimus Prime. Other features might include the ability to fire weapons attached the the
character arms.
This will be a must have toy for any boys 5 and even older, especially if they are a Transformers fan or loved
the recent movie.
 Another great Christmas toy for kids 5 and
up are Dinosaurs. This is the age when it is almost mandatory for kids to become fascinated with dinosaurs.
It's easy to see why as these long gone creatures are so unusual and bizarre that you can't help but want to
learn more about them.
There are all sorts of Dinosaur toys but one that is popular and at a reasonable price is Cruncher the interactive dinosaur. Cruncher is a cross between a dimitrodon and a T-Rex.
He has the body of the Dimetrodon and the head of a T-Rex (which happens to be a good combination).
The toy is interactive in that it responds to your voice. It also talks and has some funny features when you
touch it (I won't spoil it for you safe to say you will have a gas when you find out what it is) You can set the
toy in various modes, like attack and cute modes. Attack makes Cruncher aggressive. And cute makes him charming and
loveable. Kids with an interest in dinosaurs will love this fun toy and companion.
These are just two toys that might appeal to a 5 year old boy or even slightly older kids. For more ideas go to
