What to give an active boy for 5 years
1. Sports complex
There are many models on the market with Swedish walls, rings, horizontal bars and parallel bars. And most often they occupy a fairly large area in the room. Therefore, first, it is worth asking the child's parents if they can allocate enough space for the sports complex, and decide who will be involved in the installation.
What to buy
- Home sports complex from Romana, 8 290 rubles →
- Home sports complex from Alpinistik, 7 499 rubles →
2. Trampoline

What to buy
- Trampoline with a protective net from DFC, 7 990 rubles →

What to buy
- Children's fishing rod with line, float and hook from Boyscout, 430 rubles →
- Children's fishing rod with a reel from AliExpress, 994 rubles →

What to buy
- Bicycle with safety wheels from Novatrack, 4 499 rubles →
