Boys are never too old for Lego sets. After all, Lego is made for ages 2-99! Pick a Lego Set that fits with your 11 year old’s interests. If your eleven year old is a Star Wars Fan, he might want the Mandalorian Lego Set .

This would be a fun game to play with friends and have some fun friendly competition.

14. SKATEBOARD

It is nice to get 11 year olds gifts that they can use outdoors. As kids get older, it can be harder to get them outside for free play. So, a skateboard for your 11 year old could be the perfect gift idea!

 

There are so many different skate board options available and you can certainly find one that fits your 11 year old’s personality!

15. RUBIX CUBE ADVANCED SET

Has your eleven year old advanced from the original Rubix Cube? Take his puzzle skills to the next level with a more advanced Rubix Cube.

 

The fun thing about this Rubik’s cube set is that you can compete with other users through an app. Kids can track their scores and see how they improve over time.

16. MINI REFRIGERATOR

I included a mini fridge in my teen girl gift guide, but I think one of these would be fun for boys too! Tween boys can keep a few snacks in their room in this mini refrigerator. Or even keep one of these fridges in the game or media room!

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4594811″]

These small size fridges hold up to six pop cans.

17. LED COLOR CHANGING LIGHTS

Last year, all of my kids got the color changing LED light strips. Unfortunately, the set I bought my sons stopped working after a few months. Then, when I removed the LED strips from their walls, the paint peeled off. But my boys loved having the color changing lights in their room.

 

 

So, found these color changing puck lights and we put them near their beds. They absolutely love these lights! You can use the remote control to turn them off and on and to change colors. Each of my boys has their own set so they can control their own lights. They give off a great amount of light for bedtime reading.

18. SHAPE SHIFTING PUZZLE CUBE

The last gift idea for 11 year old boys is this award winning fidget box. The box transforms into over 70 different shapes and designs. Both of my sons have this fidget box. You can actually combine two boxes for extra challenges.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4594819″]
