Best Toys for Kids Age 12, 13, 14, 15 (2009-2010)

For parents and toy shoppers for kids and young teens - what are the best toys for kids age 12, 13, 14 or 15?  Based on some information from Toy Wishes magazine as well as some research I myself did on kids toys in this age range, here are the Top 5 Toys for Kids Age 12 to 15:

Bakugan 7 In 1 Maxus Dragonoid

1.  7n1 Maxus Drago Bakugan (Kids 5-15 years) - This one comes up on almost all of the age ranges for kids - and is generally a good choice for a boy age 12-15 years.  (Probably especially for the younger end of that spectrum.)  At any rate, this is the hottest Bakugan around - and Bakugan toys are very hot right now!  =)  He is a compilation of 7 different Bakugan toys to make one rather awesome Bakugan monster.  Good choice for any Bakugan fan.

Twilight Deluxe Scene It? Game

2.   Scene It? Twilight Deluxe Edition (Kids 13 and older) - The Scene It? games truly have taken on a life of their own.  These are not only popular with kids 13 and older, but often families play them together and they're quite a bit of fun.  The "Twilight" Deluxe Edition has taken "front and center" stage for the holiday season 2009 and into 2010.



 

3.  Lego Star Wars Battle of Endor (Kids 9-14 years) - Lego has done it again - another "Lego Star Wars" toy that is topping them all this year.  It's based on the scene "Battle of Endor" from the Star Wars movies and is a great gift for anyone who is a Star Wars fan.  (Especially a good gift for a boy in this age range.)

Elenco Electronic Snap Circuits Standard 300 Experiments

4.  Snap Circuits Toys (Kids 8-14 years) - Here we are sort of "breaking out of the mold" of movie and character based toys into the world of science.  There are a number of different kits to choose from in this lineup, all of them quite entertaining and a great way to learn about electronics at the same time!

C A Scientific MFL-06 My First Lab Duo-Scope

5.  My First Lab Duoscope (Kids 9-18 years) - This microscope (called "duoscope") is getting rave reviews for it's great quality and usability by kids.  For young scientists this is a perfect gift, allowing kids to see both up close on slides and solid materials.   Interesting for kids who are already interested in science - or perhaps just could be!
