Last year, I shared a post with gifts to make for boys, and I’m back with 25 more homemade gift ideas! Of course these are not meant to be *only* for boys. If your daughter would like these ideas, then go for it! This is just meant to be a resource for people who are looking for ideas that boys will go for.
Play Kit Ideas
I totally adore Jen’s play dough kits over at Mama Papa Bubba! They make delightful gifts. Check out this Dinosaur Play Dough Kit.
Young Star Wars fans will love this Star Wars Play Dough Kit, also from Mama Papa Bubba.
Make a Take Along Construction Play Set from Frugal Fun for Boys
Portable Car Play Kit from Mama Papa Bubba
Aspiring scientists will love this Science Kit from Playdough to Plato! She has links to all the experiments that you can do with this, too.
Here’s a fun Nature Exploration Kit from Stir the Wonder.
For LEGO Fans
Check out this LEGO Travel Case from The Pleasantest Thing
LEGO Tic Tac Toe Kit from Mama Papa Bubba – what a fun idea!
I love this Wooden Crate LEGO Minifigure Display. It looks really nice on a dresser, and it’s easy to switch out the minifigures.

Create your own LEGO Wall Calendar. Use our photos if you don’t want to take your own!
Make a Glow-in-the-Dark LEGO Yoda T-Shirt from Busy Kids Happy Mom
A LEGO table is always a great idea! Here’s a neat LEGO table from Centsational Girl. You can also check out our IKEA Trofast LEGO table here.
Games
Minions Memory Game – this is so simple, and preschoolers love it.
Avengers Tic Tac Toe – Could also be made with other characters. Star Wars, maybe?
Make a PVC Pipe Soccer Goal from I Can Teach My Child
Homemade Toys
If you’re good at basic wood working, check out this simple Hot Wheels Race Track from Infarrantly Creative.
Or, make our cardboard version of a Hot Wheels Race Track. This project costs almost nothing!
This Wooden Crate Parking Garage doubles as storage and play for Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars!
Wooden Crate Stuffed Animal Storage – I made this pet hotel for Janie, so it’s pretty girly looking. It could easily be customized for a boy!
I am loving these Bendy Snakes from This Pilgrim Life. If you have fabric scraps around, they would cost very little to make.
Give wooden blocks new life by making these DIY Wooden Snap Blocks from I Can Teach My Child.
