Playing from an early age in knights, and now in Star Wars and Tolkien's heroes, boys from childhood feel like fighters, defenders and on February 23 they are waiting for attention and gifts on a par with adult men and mom will not be a mom if she does not get confused and does not give a cool thing - with love and faith in your boy!
1. Pistol
While films about the war are shown and military parades are going on, boys all over the world will play "war". And until the young warrior picks up a real dangerous object, it is better to equip him with a safe playable weapon. Mom may or may not like war games, but the fact remains: boys love them and practice them regularly, despite the prohibitions. If you don't buy a weapon for your child, he will make it out of a stick.
The most modern arsenal can envy the range of weapons in children's stores. The selection of toy weapons is quite large: from replicas of real models to space blasters. Kids love guns with light and sound bells and whistles and are ideal for shooting soft bullets or balls. But such a weapon should be owned by a child who already understands what harm can be done to them and how to avoid it.
There is a secret universal rule for choosing a shooter - the more terrible it is in the eyes of parents, the more delight the child is.

Encyclopedias are available for boys of all ages. For kids, you can choose picture books with a minimum of text and a lot of typewriters. A teenager will be interested in a more complicated option, but not too burdened with information about technical subtleties. A high school student, and even a young man, will find a book filled with special terms and accurate model details.
It is easier for children to master new information in a playful way. This feature is taken into account in the design of encyclopedias. Some of the data is hidden in windows that need to be opened in order to read the text enclosed in them.

Curiosity at all times pushed adolescents to reckless actions. They threw slate into the fire, risking being hit by hot shards, melting plastic and lead, casting figures. A set for chemical experiments will help to channel their irrepressible energy into a peaceful channel, and even with a simultaneous immersion in chemistry. Spectacular experiences will allow any kid to feel like Harry Potter. Young chemists can legally set up cooler chemical experiments and study the properties of various substances in practice.
Sets of varying complexity are designed for children aged 6 and older. With the help of "magic" experiments adults can introduce kids to chemistry. And the elders will cope with the set of instruments and chemicals themselves. Each kit contains instructions for experiments and for working with reagents (and the reagents themselves with equipment), safety rules and rubber gloves.

He will be able to see ships in the roadstead and birds in the tree, people's faces and helicopters flying by.
Depending on the parameters of the output lens, the tube can be used during the day in scouting games or at night to observe the starry sky. When choosing a telescope, you should pay attention to the magnification factor, on which the approach of the object of observation depends. If the child is small, the weight of the toy must also be taken into account. It is preferable for him to present a telescope in a plastic case.

Every child's dream. When buying a flying toy helicopter, it is advisable to decide on the launch site, because models that are different in functionality have been created for the house and the street. And also correlate the child's skills with the complexity of management. For a kid under ten, it is better to choose a two-channel turntable. Older children are more interested in piloting three- or four-channel. The latter are distinguished by increased maneuverability - they can fly with lateral roll and diagonally.

If the boy is just getting to know this craft, it is more correct to dwell on the solid version, and the growth of skill will show when to add tools. Let the child first learn to burn basic patterns and patterns, and then choose a more serious tool for himself.

Choose the appropriate game based on the number of players and their age. In family play, children are, of course, the main reference point. First of all, the game should be interesting to them.

8. Butterfly
An unexpected gift for tough guys. In fact, it is also about masculinity, just about a different shade of it. The butterfly will teach the boy to treat with awe and tenderness the emergence of a new life, beautiful defenseless creatures - butterflies. Also, this gift will charm mothers who are far from the military theme and young naturalists.
At first glance, it may seem that this is not an entirely "masculine" gift. However, if you remember the famous entomologists, there are not so many women among them. And boys are much more inquisitive than girls - they always want to know what's inside and how it works.
The essence of the butterfly, or home butterfly farm, is as follows: the child is invited to grow beautiful exotic creatures from nondescript pupae and observe their life in his own apartment.
When making such an exotic gift, one should explain to the young naturalist that it will only "work" if he is patient enough and will not try to look inside the doll. Then a deserved reward for endurance and care will be a real natural miracle - the emergence from an almost lifeless gnarled cocoon of the most beautiful and trembling creature in the living world.
The winged beauty will live with you for several days or weeks, depending on the species of the butterfly and the conditions in the house. They feed on juices and purees from fruits, and generally require a minimum of care - the exact instructions are contained in the instructions for the farm. You may not know, but there are people who have a phobia of butterflies. It is not common, but if you are planning to purchase such a gift not for your child, try to find out if there are any similar problems in the family where the butterflies will be born.

9. Certificate in the shooting club
The secret dream of every man or boy is to shoot all types of weapons. You can fulfill at least some of your wishes by presenting them with a certificate to the shooting club (the shooting club is, in fact, an expanded and modernized version of the familiar shooting range.). Under the guidance of an experienced trainer, the participants will learn how to use several types of weapons individually and in a team - the instructor will teach the child to load the weapon, aim and hit the target.
It is easy to make men of all ages happy with such a gift. You just need to choose the right club. Some establishments are allowed only from the age of eighteen, while in others, on the contrary, they develop programs with gaming moments especially for a younger age. It is also worth clarifying the location of the club in order to make sure that the area is safe and find out how the boy (if the child is old enough and if he goes there alone, it is desirable that the club is not in an industrial zone many kilometers from home) will be able to get there.

A win-win at all times. A fire truck is not just a body on wheels, but a whole list of exciting game situations. A spectacular bright red toy with a real retractable fire escape, opening doors, water supply and natural sound options will enchant any boy.
This is exactly the case when you should not save. A cheap, unreliable toy without moving parts will not be able to completely capture the kid's imagination and make him a real firefighter hero. But be sure to explain to your child that fire is not a toy and is very dangerous, otherwise his desire to test the car in a real case may end in disaster.
