13 Unique Sports Toys & Gifts For 4 Year Old Boys

Need something super unique that can be played with inside? The Toyk soccer ball might be a great option for you! One of the most unique options on the list, this toy is designed to help teach your kid how to handle and play with a soccer ball, all from the comfort of inside your home. Essentially, this “soccer ball” is a Roomba with paint that can hover around your house on hard surfaces. When you kick it, it floats like a puck from an air hockey table until it hits something. With a soft bumper on the edges, you can play with this toy safely inside while it’s raining out.

Getting that hand-eye coordination developed is one of the main reasons we encourage our kids to play with toys and engage in sports. The Activ Flyer is a perfect way to have a lot of fun and teach your kid how to throw and catch a frisbee. Odds are, your 4-year-old is nowhere near ready to toss a frisbee or disc competently. The Activ Flyer is an easier version of a disc that can be thrown by small children and stay relatively straight. They are also lighter and don’t hurt when catching them with your hands! They also float and can be used in water or in a field.

Playing with this bag encourages coordination and practical skills like punching and dodging, great for kids beginning martial arts.
