- 4. Railway
Despite its age, this toy still has not lost its relevance. It will be very interesting for any boy to first build a railway, and then watch the train moving along it. By the way, usually toys suggest several options for patterns of movement, so that a child can develop design skills by choosing one or another scheme.
Any boy loves auto racing very much, so the autotrack will definitely appeal to you. You can play such a toy both as a group and as one. Construction of the track is an exciting lesson that develops design skills. Team play is accompanied by rivalry, and this is very important experience for a child: to accept victory and loss. The great advantage of such a toy is that it can supplant a computer game, because the real race is much more interesting.

- 7. Board games for boys
Boys are very interested in logical board games in which you need to find the right paths, make decisions, and look for ways out of the dead ends. Very suitable for a boy of 4-5 years will be the games “Pathfinder Kolobok” and “Pirates of hide and seek”. These games contribute to the development of spatial, logical thinking, cognitive abilities and even hand motor skills.
- 8. Sports area
At the age of 4-5 years, the boys are very mobile. It is better to direct their activity into a peaceful course, especially since the child himself becomes interested in experiencing the possibilities of his body: climbing a rope, catching up on a horizontal bar, hanging on the “wall of Sweden”. The most important thing is to make the sports area safe: securely fasten and put mats on the floor. In the minimum option in the sports corner should be rings, rope ladder, wall bars and horizontal bar. If you allow the budget and space - the corner can be equipped with a slide, swings and other "chips."
Children's synthesizer is a great toy for introducing children to music. You can start playing by numbers (you can find notes of songs recorded in numbers on the Internet), and eventually you can get to the musical notation. The plus of the synthesizer is that it reproduces not only the sounds of the piano, but also allows you to use other sound options.
