2008 Amazing Toy Awards: Toys for Gradeschoolers

Let's Get Playing!

Choosing toys for elementary school age kids is tricky. Preference, age, and peer pressure begin to play an important role in how your kids want to spend their time. We tested a slew of products for kids ranging from five to 11 years old, and we chose the ones that hands down were the best received by our testers. In particular, we were surprised by how many fabulous board games are on the market this year. We worked hard to whittle down our list, and you will see a number of runner ups. Overall, we sought out products that are affordable, encourage skill development, and will have longevity in your home. Happy playing!
