Ten is a tricky age to shop for. Kids at 10 have outgrown most "little kid" toys, but they're not ready for teen gadgets either. The sweet spot is something that moves, lights up or lets them build — and ideally something they can show off to friends.
We picked these gifts because they keep kids busy away from screens, they're easy to learn, and every one ships from our US warehouse, so they arrive in time for the holidays.
1. RC Drift Race Car with Lights, Music & Mist Spray
This car drifts, flashes and puffs a harmless water mist from its exhaust. Two-player racing works too, since each car uses its own 2.4GHz remote. See the RC Drift Race Car ($49.99).
2. Light-Up Indoor Basketball Hoop
Hangs over any door, lights up with every basket and keeps score automatically. Perfect for rainy days and family tournaments. See the Light-Up Basketball Hoop ($49.99).
3. Remote Control Shark Car
A great white shark on wheels, with a rechargeable battery and a fin kids love. Available in blue or grey ($34.99).
4. Handheld Kids Microscope
For the curious kid: a pocket microscope with a built-in LED light. Take it outside and explore bugs, leaves and fabric up close. See the Kids Microscope ($44.99).
5. 61-Key Keyboard with Microphone
A full-size beginner keyboard with record and playback, plus a microphone for sing-alongs. See the Keyboard ($54.99).
