How to choose for tweens
- Find out which trends their friends are into right now, since tweens often want what is popular at school.
- Pick skill-based toys like yo-yos or fingerboards that reward practice and give them tricks to show friends.
- For collectors, ask which trading card game or series they follow before buying packs or sets.
- Science and exploration sets should offer a real challenge at this age, with experiments that feel grown-up rather than simple.
Usually safe to skip
- Toys that look designed for little kids, which tweens may find embarrassing.
- Trading cards from a game they don't play, since collections only matter within a series.
- Big novelty gadgets with one trick that stop being fun after a few days.
