When your boy turns 4 years old, he’s moving from walking to hopping and running. 4-year-olds are usually very energetic and it’s around this time that they start learning how to ride trikes and bikes. If you’ve got a 4-year-old boy who just loves to go places, then the Fisher-Price Harley Davidson Tough Trike is perfect for you and your son. This sturdy and durable trike is great for 4-year-olds who can’t sit still and love to zoom around. It’s got a stable wheelbase and rugged wheels for when your kid wants to ride around on the grass or off the pavement. The big-foot pedals are easy for small riders to push and it has a comfortable seat so your child can ride comfortably for a long time. The seat also opens up to a roomy storage compartment where your 4-year-old can put their favorite things. The seat can get off it opened too quickly or roughly, but it’s not a problem to snap back on. It might take a bit of time and energy to assemble this trike and is better assembled with two sets of hands. While this trike is recommended for children 2 years old and up, it’s much more suited for slightly older children. The trike is a bit long so toddlers and shorter children will not be able to reach the pedals. It’s a great size for taller 3- to 4-year-olds though and is good preparation for any kid who’s learning to ride a bike.

Blocks are some of the best toys for 4-year-olds because they help foster creativity, develop motor skills, and stir their imaginations. But blocks can be tough to clean especially if they get things like clay or sticky substances on them. What’s great about the KDMALL Magnetic Blocks Deluxe Set is that they have the magic of magnets and building things without the inconvenient cleaning. These plastic parts are easy to keep clean and are just the right size for small hands. They’re not so small but it’s always safer to keep an eye on your children while playing with these magnetic blocks. This toy is great for ages 3 and up but requires adult supervision for younger kids who can easily chew on the plastic and expose the magnets inside. A bag of the KDMALL Magnetic Blocks Deluxe Set comes with 40 pieces with which your child can make a variety of shapes and buildings. However, 40 pieces might not be enough to build a lot of structures. Parents found that at least two bags would be required for longer and better playtime, especially if you have more than one child playing with this toy. Blocks like this are best used with a free imagination, but if you need a bit of inspiration the set comes with a booklet of building ideas. The magnets can stick together all right but they could be stronger. The durability of this product isn’t guaranteed as the plastic parts are a bit thin and might break easily. But this could easily last a year of playtime.

Many 4-year-old boys are highly active and energetic. But they can often get into accidents and get injured if left to their own devices. If you’re looking for a safer way for your kid to expend some energy and get some exercise, then the Flybar My First Foam Pogo Jumper is perfect for you. Regular pogo sticks are made for older children and can lead to unexpected trips to the emergency room. But that doesn’t mean your 4-year-old can’t jump around for fun. The Flybar My First Foam Pogo Jumper is a safe, inexpensive way for your child to practice pogo stick jumping. The base is a squishy foam block that is durable and can hold up to 250 pounds. It’s soft enough to use on hardwood floors without leaving any scratches. This foam jumper works on grass as well as on pavement. The bungee jump cable that holds the handle and the block together is stretchy but sturdy. It can take a bit of practice and getting used to when playing with this toy. But many children easily get the hang of this after some time. It’s a great way to get your 4-year-old boy away from the screen and off the couch. This toy is for children ages 3 and up but it’s more suited for older or taller children. Shorter and younger children might not be able to keep the handles up to properly jump on it. The squeaker noise can get annoying but it also doesn’t last too long. So it’s a pro for parents but often a con for the children when the squeaker stops working.

One of the most popular toy themes for 4-year-old boys would be cars. Kids love to race and pretend to be drivers, so why not give them an opportunity to learn while they’re at it? That’s the idea behind this toy, the VTech 3-in-1 Race and Learn. It’s a driving console that features a steering wheel and three modes of play: car, jet, and motorcycle. If you’ve got a little one who can’t resist getting behind the wheel, then this is the perfect toy to get! While your child races away, he can also learn about numbers, phonics, letters, and spelling. Now that’s hitting two birds with one stone. The VTech 3-in-1 Race and Learn requires no assembly and comes with batteries. The console is easy to use and can easily be figured out by a 3-year-old. The toy comes with blinking lights and loud sounds that, unfortunately, cannot be lowered. Your child might enjoy the sounds a lot but it can get a bit too loud for parents. The screen is a bit hard to see as it’s small and not colored or brightly lit. This means that your child will need ample light to see what’s happening on the screen. This could be an inconvenience and it might not match up to a phone or tablet in terms of engagement, but it does give the toy a retro 90’s feel. It can last a couple of years but some parts don’t feel that durable. In the end, this is still a great addition to the toy collection of any 4-year-old racing fan.

One of the best ways to keep your child’s development on track is for them to spend time outside. Exploration not only helps your child learn, but also keeps them active and imaginative. If you want to nurture the inner explorer and scientist in your 4-year-old, give them one of these Adventure Kidz Outdoor Exploration Kits! This handy kit contains a pair of child-sized binoculars, one hand-cranked flashlight, a lensatic compass, a magnifying glass, and a pea-less fox whistle. The binoculars have 4x30 magnification and are equipped with soft rubber eyepieces so your child’s eyes won’t get hurt. It’s great for casual bird-watching or spy games with your child. The flashlight doesn’t need any batteries so it’s great for bringing along on camping or hiking trips. The lensatic compass may be made of plastic and but it actually works and can teach your child about magnetism and north, south, east, and west directions. The fox whistle doesn’t have a pea in it so it won’t get jammed and is lightweight and useful in emergency situations. All of these fun toys fit in the accompanying water-resistant carrying bag so your child can tote his exploring gear anywhere. These toys aren’t the most durable as they’re mostly made of plastic but they work well and are a lot of fun to use. The kit is quite small but it’s great for little hands and kids won’t get tired of carrying this around while hiking or playing. The convenient packaging makes this a great gift for 4-year-olds with a knack for STEM and exploration.

If there’s one thing 4-year-old boys love, it’s construction toys. Trucks, cranes, and bulldozers are fascinating for many 4-year-old boys. These kinds of toys are great for building item recognition skills, hand-eye coordination, and motor skills. So if you want your child to learn while playing with some of his favorite things, let him reach for the iPlay, iLearn Construction Vehicle Play Set. This play-set comes with 76 pieces, including pieces for a crane, trailer, bulldozer, forklift, snowplow, and truck. It also has a bunch of accessories like cones, barricades, tools, and fences so your child can build a complete construction site. The pieces can be small though, so always supervise your child while using this product if they’re young and tend to put things in their mouth. Some pieces can be a choking hazard so this toy is more appropriate for children aged 4 to 6 years old. Parental guidance is still a must when using or assembling this play-set. The crane can move and lift things with a knob that can be turned, but the weight-balance of this toy isn’t so good that it can only lift some light things. The detailing on the pieces is well-done so your child will definitely enjoy playing with this realistic construction set. It comes with road signs so your child can also learn about them. The set is made out of plastic so it might not withstand rough play. Some parts are pretty flimsy and won’t last very long, so it’s better for children who are more gentle with their toys.

If your 4-year-old boy is a budding Batman fan, then you have to get him the Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Batcopter! Batman might have the Batmobile in his arsenal, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have room for the Batcopter too. This awesome Batcopter comes with its very own Batman figure who fits perfectly in the helicopter cockpit. That way, Batman can easily chase down evil villains with no problem. The landing gear of the helicopter can also double as a claw to grab those villains on the ground before they can escape! This is a great toy for any Batman fan, whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart. It makes a great gift as well and will definitely level up any Batman fan’s playtime. You can still see Batman as he sits in the cockpit so this toy also looks good when you store it on a shelf after playtime. The Batcopter blades can be rotated manually, while the claw is lowered by pressing a button near the base of the helicopter tail. However, it can be a bit hard for little hands to press the trigger button. The toy looks a bit smaller in real life than in the photos, but the toy is well-made and durable enough for most 4-year-old boys. This is a great gift and toy for Batman fans with a creative imagination. The toy is a good size that your son can bring it around anywhere without too much of a hassle.

Who says 4-year-old boys can’t do arts and crafts? Sometimes what you and your child need is some time to sit down together and create some art. Four-year-old boys aren’t always running around or playing with cars. Help foster their creativity and artistic side with a big box of crafts like the Alex Discover My Giant Busy Box Craft Kit. This box contains everything you need for 16 different art projects. It makes for a great rainy day or even party activity. This is a great toy for keeping your 4-year-old busy and creative. The kit comes with everything you need to create your own masterpieces, but it does help to whip out a different glue stick because the one in the kit dries out easily. Your child can make anything from a butterfly to a cow with this crafty box. The instructions that come with the box are not that detailed as they don’t specifically tell you how to make each animal. The kit’s instructions only teach you techniques that you can then apply to your project to get the outcome you want. This was a con for many parents who just like to follow instructions, but it’s a great way for your child to be creative and make something that’s uniquely theirs. You definitely won’t run out of ideas or materials with this giant box around! While recommended for ages 3 and up, it’s best for 4-year-olds and younger as older children might find it a bit corny or even hard to do. It’s best to let go and have fun with this crafts kit and not think too much about making the result perfect.

Kicking a ball around is a lot of fun for a 4-year-old boy, but it’s not always possible due to bad weather or lack of space. If all you have is some hardwood floor where your 4-year-old can let out some energy, then you might like the Betheaces Kids Toy Hover Soccer Ball set. This combines the fun and convenience of soccer and air hockey in one fun game. This isn’t your regular soccer ball just brought indoors where it can cause damage to furniture and home decoration. This set features a hovering soccer disc that glides smoothly over floors and is surrounded by a foam protector. This keeps your child, your furniture, and the ball itself safe. The ball also has LED lights that look cool as it’s kicked around at night. It makes it easier to see the ball as well even in low light. It requires 4 double-A batteries that are not included in the set. The set comes with 2 small goals that are meant to stay put with suction cups, but because the goals are too small and light, the ball can easily dislodge the nets. The set also has two inflatable balls: a soccer ball and a basketball, in case your child tires of using the hover ball. But many children enjoy using the hover soccer ball more than the regular inflatable balls. While the product description claims that you can use this hover soccer ball on low-pile carpet, it only really works best on hardwood floors. This is a toy best used by younger children, as once your kid gets older and stronger, this toy can easily get damaged.

Race tracks with zooming cars are always a hit among 4-year-old boys. These are one of the most popular toys for this age group even though it doesn’t have a lot of interaction. It still keeps the imagination running and helps develop creativity among young children. But why settle for plain race tracks? Switch things up and surprise your kid with a Lydaz Race Track Dinosaur World Bridge set! This set comes with a 142-piece race track that is flexible, which means it can be twisted and turned to form unique race tracks every playtime. The set also comes with one Dinosaur World-themed car (no batteries included), 2 dinosaurs, 4 trees, 2 slopes, 1 double-door, and 1 hanging bridge. You and your child can easily create a dinosaur world with this toy and get to racing around it in no time. The toy car that comes with this set is powerful and fast enough to make its way through the track, but it uses up batteries quite quickly. Some parents found that they had to change the batteries of the car too often. The trees also can’t quite stand on their own but work fine if they’re attached to the track as designed. While the track is flexible to form turns and loops, the pieces are a bit flimsy and need a lot more support than what the included bridge or slopes provide. The tracks still work best if laid flat. It’s not the most durable of race tracks but the dinosaur theme is very fun and enjoyable and it makes a great toy for 4-year-old boys who are fans of both cars and dinosaurs.
