What skills are 9-year-olds learning?

At school, 9-year-olds hone their ability to research and report back on a wide range of subjects, express themselves intelligibly, and work cooperatively in groups. Their math curriculum is getting serious, with complex problems that involve word problems, fractions, multiplication, division, and data charting.

How do I choose the best toy for my child?

The easiest way to ensure you get a gift your child loves is to ask them to make a wish list. Otherwise, observe what they like playing with or subtly ask what toys they liked most the last time they went to a friend’s house. If you choose a gift that aligns with your child’s interests in crafts, sports, or a particular book or TV character, you’ll likely get it right.

When I buy new toys, should we get rid of some of the older toys?

Many families abide by the one-in-one-out rule. If your playroom or child's bedroom is crowded or clutter prohibits your children from finding toys they actually want to play with, consider asking them to choose some toys they’re willing to part with and whether they’d prefer to donate or sell them.

The 53 Best Toys for 9-Year-Olds of 2022

Commerce Photo Composite — Verywell Family / Amelia Manley

Nine-year-old kids are a wonderful mix of imagination, energy, and developing interests. Kids this age enjoy some solo play, imaginative exploration, and depending on the kid, may focus more on outdoor activities and sports, arts and crafts, or something else entirely. Since most 9-year-olds can read and may have some distinct areas of interest, you can often narrow down gifts based on their favorite characters or activities.

Reviewed & Approved

The Exploding Kittens LLC Card Game is fast moving, silly, and fun, and designed for groups of two to five players. For open-ended play, we recommend the Magna Tiles Clear Colors 100 Piece Set.

While it’s fun to give children toys that meet their interests, you can also challenge them to play with other toys. Just be sure to consider age recommendations so the toy isn't too overwhelming (or seem too young and childish—they're almost tweens, after all). We carefully considered design, toy safety, value, and age recommendations when reviewing products.

Here are our favorite toys for the 9-year-old in your life.

How We Selected the Best Toys for 9-Year-Olds

We studied the features and designs of more than 70 products on the market to determine the best toys for 9-year-olds. We researched reviews from customers and competitors, while also considering design, size, features, ease of use, age recommendations, and value when deciding our picks. Additionally, we monitored shopping trends to bring you the best, and most up-to-date, offerings on toys for 9-year-olds.

What to Look for in Toys for 9-Year-Olds

Interests

Because 9-year-olds have a multitude of diverse interests, the best way to ensure your gift is well-received is to find out what the recipient is into. Whether they prefer board games, sports, or crafts, there's a toy out there that they're absolutely going to love. Don't be afraid to try a gift your 9-year-old hasn't asked for, in which case the true gift is expanding their horizons.

Age-Appropriateness

Check the toy or game box for age-appropriate recommendations. When in doubt, keep in mind that kids this age tend to appreciate arts and crafts, outdoor activities, imaginative exploration, and playing independently. These almost-tweens won't appreciate a gift that's aimed at littler kids, so err on the side of maturity and challenge if you can.

Educational

There are so many great ways to have fun and learn something new that your 9-year old may not even realize they're learning and playing at the same time. Look for a kit that allows your kiddo to learn or practice a new skill. You can also find a toy tailored to their favorite subject in school, such as a STEM kit for those who love science or math. Outdoor toys are another great way to teach about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Budget

Even the most perfect gift won't be quite right if it doesn't fit into your budget. The 9-year-old in your life will appreciate a present that piques their interest no matter how much it cost, and reasonably priced options abound.
