Boys at four years old are such explorers. The preschool stage (between 3 and 5) is so exciting in a kids world; there are dinosaurs, trucks, superman, wild animals that most boys love to play with.
My collection of Christmas gifts for four-year-old boys will give you great ideas on how you can make your son, grandson or nephew happy.
Please read on for my Christmas gift collection. I hope you will find some great ideas and inspiration!
#1 A Wooden Train Set
Speaking from my experience, a wooden train set has to be one of the best gifts you can give a boy.
We bought one for our son when he was two years old (10 years ago), and it has been one of the most favorite gifts he ever got.
He used to spend countless hours building it, putting the buildings up and driving the various cars, busses, and tank engines around.
This 100 pieces wooden train track will last for years to come. It is made from beautiful beechwood and is 100% compatible with all the key brands like Thomas the Tank Engine.
I love the quality, the bright colors and the interesting features like the triple-loop layout, a bridge, road signs, figurines and different buildings. Highly recommended!
#2 Lego Duplo Batman
I haven’t met a child yet who doesn’t love to play with Lego. The bricks a sturdy and nearly unbreakable. And if the parts get a bit grubby I put them in a washing bag and off they go into the washing machine.
Lego Duplo is the perfect size for 2 – 5 years old little hands. The Batman theme is perfect for kids who love superheroes.
This set contains Wonder Woman and her motorbike, Batman and his boat, Superman, a cat and bricks to build a bridge and other cool stuff.
It sure will be a hit with your little superhero fan.
#3 Melissa&Doug Speed Race Track Rug
And what better to play with the cars than on a speed race track rug from Melissa&Doug. The carpet comes with four wooden cars as well, so the fun starts straight away.
The woven floor mat is machine washable, stain resistant and has a skid-proof backing. The size of 39″ x 36″ is generous enough to provide space for multiple children.
Encourage your child’s imaginative play with this cool speed race track. Hours of fun are guaranteed!
#4 Dinosaur Toy Box and Play Mat
The set includes two 5″ plastic dinosaurs and the toy box with a lid to store more of these fascinating creatures. The box transforms into a colorful playmat by just unzipping the sides.
The box is stackable, and you can even clean the surface with a damp cloth. With 15.2″ x 13″ x 2.5″ it is not too big and will fit nicely into your children’s room.
Let’s get the dinosaur collection started! 🙂

Wooden blogs are such a classic gift for boys. They love building things and at the same time also like busting it. What would be more suitable to nurture their building skills and curiosity than this 64 piece set?
The rubberwood blocks have a smooth feel and come in a good size in 14 different shapes like squares, rectangles, half circles, arches and much more.
Included in the set is also a wooden storage tub. The bin can also be a building base. Just empty it and flip it over. And when playtime is finished, your kids can pack the blocks away neatly.
Your boy surely will have fun building towers, castles, bridges, animals or anything he can imagine.
