Summer has now arrived and the weather should only get better. August is the perfect month for your children, or grandchildren, to go outside and play in the garden with their siblings or friends.

We know that all kids want to do is play. Whether that’s inside the house or outside in the garden with their friends. With so many toys and games on the market, it can be difficult to choose the best ones for the summer.

Don’t worry though because the toy testers here at Toy Street have put together a list of the Top five Toys for Boys this summer. Check out the great and exciting toys below:

1. Bubble Rocket Toy

Let the boys launch right into some sunny fun with this awesome bubble rocket! We’ve always enjoyed a good jump rocket and this is by far the best we’ve seen. The rocket’s tail is a multitude of hoops that creates a shower of bubbles as it shoots up into the air. The foam base is a safer option, especially for the little ones! It’s a great way to burn some energy and get the boys playing outside. They can even impress their friends with how high they can pump the rocket.

2. Bug Observation Toy

It’s time to let the monsters get muddy and grubby as they get to learn and explore the small world beneath them. This bug observation dome is an ideal addition to your little ones’ science and nature range or a great way to begin an interest in the natural world. With this cool coloured dome, there is a door for the bugs to enter and explore the textured surface whilst your son or grandchild studies and follows them with the pivoting 2X magnification scope mounted on the top. After the fun, the bugs can be let out for a return to their natural habitats until the next time.

3. Batman 12″ Bike

With puncture-proof tires, deep tread, a fully enclosed printed chain guard, and removable stabilisers you can be reassured that your boy is safe while he is riding around in style. The colour scheme, character graphics, and shaped plaque are what makes this ride so epic. The best way to make your son or grandson’s summer so epic is by letting them learn to ride and be free on their very own bat-mobile. You may even find out you have your very own superhero in the family.

4. Foooty Blue

Now this treat will certainly put you in your boy’s good books. The Create Play Blue football will definitely look cool in the playing field. No one else will have a football like it! What is so awesome is the endless possibilities of creation and construction of shapes and sizes. To construct, the elements can be connected with the SMART FOOOTY click system. With these elements, the boys can make ALL popular ball shapes to kick and throw around. The Foooty fits in every pocket and can be used anywhere, indoors and outdoors. It is your perfect travel buddy for every holiday or day at the park.

5. Kickmaster Large Quick Up Goal

To finish off, here is the needed toy to complete the children’s football tournaments and games in the backyard. Our ultimate football goal – perfect for the next budding football star. This goal set is perfect for transport, with anchor pegs and a carry bag included. It can be taken anywhere he fancies a game. Summer BBQ? Playtime at the park? Camping? With easy setup and storage, let the little ones take the fun with them! For the football-crazy little ones, combine the Foooty Blue and Kickmaster Large Quick Up Goal and let the toys do the hard work. Sit back and relax while your son or grandson has games of penalty shoot out all summer long.
