Best toys and gifts for 9 to 12 year olds (boys and girls)

Between 9 and 12, children grow out of "little kid" toys fast. They want something challenging, something that looks cool, or something to play with friends. Here are the gifts that work best from our shop.

For thinkers: puzzles and cubes

• Speed cubes: 3×3, 4×4 (MoYu, about Rs 2,190) and pyramid cubes. Learning to solve one is a great school-holiday goal.
• Snake puzzles that twist into shapes (from about Rs 1,190).

For builders and makers

• Science and engineering kits: build a Ferris wheel or roller coaster, a wind-up generator, space-exploration kits (from about Rs 2,290).
• Big building sets: 300–550 piece sets like boats and city buildings (from about Rs 7,150).
• Art sets: acrylic markers, watercolours, fabric paints.

For active kids

• Remote-control cars and trucks (from about Rs 4,490), including a wall-climbing tank. See remote-control toys.
• Nerf blasters for garden battles. See Nerf.
• Table games like 2-player basketball or ping pong.

For sleepovers and family nights

• Card games (from about Rs 690), Tambola and Jenga.

Questions people ask

What do I get a 10-year-old who has everything?

Something to do rather than something to own: a science kit or a speed cube to learn.

Are science kits hard?

Kits marked 8+ come with picture instructions; most children of 9–12 manage on their own or with a little help.
