Kids are honestly the toughest product reviewers — if they don’t love something, you know immediately. So I asked my 10-year-old to share the Amazon items they actually use, recommend, or have on their wish list. These picks are fun, practical, and kid-approved in real life.
BLOX Fruits – Mystery Fruit Collectible Plush
Yup, it’s true…he is a “blox”head…despite my best homeschool sheltering efforts. I kid. Look y’all, homeschoolers are not what they use to be and we cant hide anything from our kids in the day of instant information and connection. Okay getting off my soapbox and back to this item. Our 10 year loves this thing. He throws it all over the house, he shows it to his friends, he rolls in down the stairs, it goes in the car, in the woods, all the things. It’s a fun one!
Razor Jetts DLX Heel Wheels
These strap on over your shoes and… ZOOM your kiddo can take off! Our 10 years old wears these around the house, to the grocery store, and the best part is they are adjustable! So friends come over and use them too with such ease!
Adjustable Inline Skates
Okay, so we bought these on a whim after a field trip to the local skating rink. Our 10 year tried inline skates for the first time and he was hooked! The really cool thing about these is that they are ADJUSTABLE! So they will grow with him and realistically he should be able to use them for a 2-3 years! For me this was a huge sale point, as we all know kids grow through shoes so quickly!
These keep him active and having fun throughout the week!
The Original Glow in The Dark Capture The Flag Game
This game has been used more times than I can count! We host school end of year parties and play this. We bought the expansion set and our older teens still play this with their friends and youth groups. We play when family comes to town and we all need to run around because we ate way too much good food together! So YES, I agree with our 10 year on this one…FAN FAVORITE!
Walkie Talkies Long Range with Earpieces
Originally we purchased these for our family ski trip and they completely surpassed our expectations! We could communicate with the kids on ANY of the runs, and the sound was so clear! Once we got back home they were incorporated into play for our 10 year old and the neighborhood crew! They love using the earpieces and pretending to be spies or agents. They also use them for tag or hide and seek! It took some reminding to put them back on the chargers each time, but now we have a station set up and everyone knows what to do! Highly recommend!
Kids can be surprisingly honest about what’s actually worth it — and these are the items that passed the real-life test. If you’re looking for gift ideas or everyday favorites for this age group, these picks are a great place to start.
Enjoy!
