I couldn’t stop at just activities for boys, so this is a collection of the best places to find everything for boys on Pinterest.
I couldn’t leave out fun things like boy clothes and birthday party ideas for boys!
The majority of these Pinterest boards are focused on different areas of activities that boys just love to take part in!
Three very boy-y boys. They are the very much stereotypical boys.
They love all things cars and trucks, blocks and legos, mud and dirt.
They’ve grown up around farmers. Both grandpas are farmers. They sit in real tractors, semis, and combines on a regular basis.
My boys work with real tools on a regular basis. Dad is a very handy guy and refuses to hire anything out, so he does all the fixing. The boys are always right by his side. And they know what the level is, pliers, and so on.
I’m not saying that girls don’t. And I’m not saying that they don’t like other things that could be labeled for girls. That’s not what this is about.
Though they do scoff at the colors pink and purple and won’t touch a doll for the life of them.
That’s not what this list is about.
This is a list of my favorite kind of Pinterest boards.
They’re my favorite because this is what I lean toward when finding activities for my boys to do. The very stereotypical kind of boys that they are.
These Pinterest boards I collected are specifically curated with the stereotypical boy in mind.
I first made a quick list of all things that I think of when I think of boys. This is what I quickly jotted down and I’d love for you to add to it in the comments:
What do you think of when you think ‘BOY’?
- Blocks (Legos)
- Balls
- Cars, Trucks, Planes, Trains… anything with wheels or with a motor of some sort.
- Mud, Dirt, Sandbox
- Dinosaurs
- Robots
- Pirates
- Bugs and Insects
- Sports
- Construction Sites
- Farming
- Science Experiments
- Firefighters, and other pretend play
- Lots of energy, run run run!
So that’s what I looked for when I found these awesome Pinterest boards that includes a little bit of everything for boys.

Hi Jamie
I am new to this!
Regarding your list for boys. My son is 5 years 6months. Yes all the things on list apply.
However I would add, stickers added on to pictures of many types, added to toys, like cars on garages etc etc. another big one is play dooh is another, modelling clay. Making models, painting ceramics. The night sky/space/ stars/ astronauts/ rockets. My son enjoys all of these. Surprisingly he also likes getting hands on in the kitchen, unlike his older sister, so I see why men end up as chiefs. I guess stereotypes don’t always apply!!
Jenn says
I have a boy too who is pretty stereotypical, though he loves to read so I have one “boy board” on Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/jennpalm/reading-and-literacy-for-boys/
Thanks for all the suggestions in the comments too :)
