25 Best Gifts For 3rd Graders You Can Find On Amazon

I don’t know about you but I never buy character backpacks since my kids’ opinions change all the time.

Instead, they get to pick out a well-made backpack in their favorite color or pattern. 

This way kids can use them multiple years in a row because backpacks are expensive!

We have had the best luck with the Jan Sport backpack brand.

Just like backpacks, my kids get a nice water bottle without a character on it. 

Check out these dynamite water bottle options that will last.

If you are in the market for a new lunch bag for your 3^rd grader then check this one out. 

It is small enough to fit in your kiddo’s backpack but big enough to hold all the food he would need for lunch.

It also holds this mini Thermos, which is so good.

My kids are obsessed with knowing what time it is.  Is it the same at your house? 

I got my daughter this watch, which is amazing, and now her brothers all want one too. 

Can you guess what my 3^rd and 5^th graders are getting as back to school gifts?

I love playing board games with my kids and I think they feel the same way.  It is a great way for them to relax and for us to spend time together.

You can’t go wrong with these.

Ticket to Ride

Sorry

Kids are nuts over Legos. 

And as much as they love the Lego sets, they love the classic Legos even more. 

It lets them build whatever they can dream up.

Sometimes we have timed Lego challenges with a theme.  It is so much fun.  I had to put up a table just for Legos since my kids play with them so often.

Encourage your 3^rd grader to get outside and on the move with some sports gear that he can use right at home. 

Here are a few amazing options that my kids love to use, but there are plenty more to choose from, depending on what your kiddo is into.

We recently went on a road trip and I bought these books to keep my kids busy. 

They were such a hit with all my kids that they asked if I could buy more when we got back from our trip.

Can you tell me how Pokémon cards are supposed to work?  I have been trying to figure it out for years now but I haven’t had much luck.

Regardless, my 3^rd grader and all his friends are nuts over them so getting a fresh package of Pokémon cards is always a hit.

I got this binder for him, too.  Even though it is a basic binder, it is so nice and zips completely closed.

Thanks to a family friend, football cards have become all the rage here.  I mean, countless hours of football cards spread all over our living room floor with my 3 boys going through them all. 

My friend says these are the best kind to get.

And of course, don’t forget the binder for these cards as well.

My 3^rd grade son is head over heels for all things military.  If this sounds like your son, you have to pick up these army men. 

They go great with this ship set.

This aircraft carrier is also so cool.

How fun is this spy kit? 

It was at the top of my son’s wish list last Christmas and is so great. 

I don’t think I even need to tell you how much fun Nerf Guns are. Everyone gravitates to them and your son will go nuts over these.

This remote control car is a must-have.

It can be used inside and out and flips all over the place. Bonus, it hasn’t left a single mark on my floors or walls.

I know these are grown-up walkie-talkies but if you are thinking of getting any for your son, these are the ones to get. 

Don’t even waste your money on kid ones.  Trust me, I made that mistake and regretted it.

Your son will love exploring and seeing more things than ever with these binoculars. 

You don’t have to go crazy and get expensive ones. 

These binoculars are just right for kids and you won’t be ultra concerned about him dropping and breaking them.

Laser Tag is a blast, especially when the sun goes down. 

My boys and their friends have a great time running around playing it.

Sometimes my boys even let me play, only when they need a spot filled – ha!

I cannot even count how many hours my daughter has spent playing with these fashion plates.

She loves using colored pencils and gel pens to make her designs come to life.

Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils

Glitter Gel Pens

This coloring book is one of the best I have seen and girls love it.

I like this brand of coloring books because the paper is a bit thicker which makes it great for hanging the pictures on the wall.

Pair it with Glitter Gel Pens and Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils.

Kits make for great gifts for 8 year old girls.

We have had amazing luck with these DIY Kits.
