My nine-year-old son is getting to that age where the Easter Bunny won’t be making many more visits. He’s starting to realize there’s a lot about Easter Bunnies and Santa Clauses that don’t make sense. I’m not ready to tell him differently, so until he figures it out on his own, I’m keeping my mouth shut.
Since he’s nine this year, we’re kind of out of the stage where he likes candy, so rather than fill his basket up with a bunch of stuff he doesn’t want and I don’t need, this year, I’m buying him these non-candy Easter basket ideas that he will love. Each of these non-candy items is inexpensive, fun, and loved by 9-year-old boys.
Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas for Boys
1. Lego Technic
Kids love Lego Technic car-building toys. These toys come in numerous varieties and are great for building together or encouraging your child’s engineering abilities.
2. Books for Young Readers
Nine-year-old boys love to keep their minds engaged. You can easily support their learning and excitement with books like; Interesting Facts for Curious Minds and Inspirational Sports Stories for Young Readers.
3. LED Headlight Flashlight
Between late nights outside and camping, my 9-year-old cannot wait for summer break. That’s why an LED Headlight Flashlight is a perfect non-candy idea for his Easter basket. This one from Amazon is waterproof and will last up to 8-hours on one battery charge.
4. Powerbait
This summer I want the kids to want to go outside and get off their tablets. That’s why Powerbait is the perfect option for a 9-year-old’s Easter basket. Powerbait is a great way to help your son love fishing and it’s easy enough for young kids to use and learn to bait their hooks.
5. Kid’s Work Gloves
My kids love to dig in the dirt and work with their hands outside, that’s why these adorable Kid’s Work Gloves will make the perfect addition to their Easter baskets. These gloves are made of genuine leather and are almost exactly like the work gloves that are made for adults.
6. Hot Wheels Toy Car Track
My boys loved Hot Wheels when they were 9. Something as simple as racing cars down a track used to bring them hours of fun. And, the great thing with Hot Wheels is that you can buy new cars everywhere you go. This Hot Wheels Toy Car Track is one of Amazon’s top-selling Hot Wheel toys right now and it features a car lift and tire shop.
7. Boomerang
I feel like every kid should have a boomerang at some point or another in their life. Boomerangs are simple toys that kids love.
8. Funny T-Shirt
What 9-year-old doesn’t love to be funny? A funny t-shirt is a great non-candy Easter idea. Amazon offers so many funny shirts that it may be hard to pick just one. Check some of them out by clicking here – https://amzn.to/3vAesaJ
9. Boy’s Bog Mud Boots
With spring in full bloom, think practical with Boy’s Bog Mud Boots. These boots are designed to be tough and will last through all of your son’s muddy mishaps. They are even great for fishing season!
