If you're planning a holiday this summer, travel games are also a great option for children this age, as well as the best cameras for kids to help them capture special moments. However, don’t be tempted to pigeonhole your child and occasionally buy them toys that will coax them into thinking about new ideas or trying a new activity. Good toys for eight-year-olds will tap into the subjects they are interested in, from creative crafts to sports, games and problem solving. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) themed toys, such as lego sets, are also excellent tools for encouraging learning. Games that can be enjoyed with friends and family are a great idea as they are learning how to win and lose without showing off or throwing a tantrum.
