These stocking stuffers for boys and preschoolers will make your kids so happy on Christmas morning and your shopping will be a breeze!

Monster Spray

Monster spray is one of my favorite stocking stuffers for preschool boys (it can also be part of a gift too!).

Here’s how it works – before bed every night, your little boy sprays the Monster Spray wherever monsters may show up – closets, under bed, behind dressers…anywhere.  And voila! No monsters will appear that night. 😉

The spray itself is mild, but it’s the concept that is miraculous and it WORKS on little boys.  They’ll be so excited and WILL sleep easier!

This is definitely a fun stocking stuffer idea that isn’t yet another toy.

Paint Sticks

These paint sticks are one of the coolest art supplies for preschool boys and they fit perfectly into a stocking!

They work like markers, but are much smoother like paint (they actually are paint), which ends up being the best of both worlds.

My son loved these paint sticks so much that we ended up going through all of them and buying more!

They’re a really great stocking stuffer for preschool boys and something that they’ll have a lot of fun with.

Glow-in-the-Dark Stars

These glow-in-the-dark stick-on stars are one of the coolest stocking stuffers for preschool boys.

They stick to the ceiling and glow in the dark, which means they act as an awesome night light for your little guy’s room AND are a really fun distraction during bedtime.

This is also a great non-toy gift for preschoolers if you’re already overwhelmed by toys!

Paint-Your-Own Vehicle

These paint-your-own vehicle sets are one of my favorite stocking stuffers for preschoolers!

Each set comes with wooden pieces that your little boy will paint and put together, all on their own.

This is a really fun arts and crafts project and it will fit perfectly into a stocking.  It could make a great Christmas morning activity too!

Train Whistle

This train whistle is such a fun stocking stuffer for preschool boys!

It’s a classic wooden toy that just really never gets old.

It’s also inexpensive and fits perfectly into a stocking!

This is a stocking stuffer that every little boy needs to have at some point. It’s a cute one!

Electric Toothbrush

An electric toothbrush is such a fun, exciting, AND practical stocking stuffer idea for preschool boys.

By the time a child is 5, they should be completely brushing their teeth on their own (and for most kids, they probably already are) so an electric toothbrush that is specifically for preschool boys is definitely the best way to make sure they’re brushing the right way.

This is a great classic stocking stuffer that you can’t go wrong with.

Kid Flashlight

A fun kid flashlight is another great stocking stuffer for preschoolers that will get used sooooo much….like, way more than you ever imagined.

When my son got his first flashlight, he was totally obsessed with it…so much so that I had to buy another one for my daughter to use!

A flashlight is a great stocking stuffer idea because it has a fun use and a practical use (even for these young guys!), so you really can’t go wrong with it.

Magnifying Glass

The preschool years are all about exploration and discovery and nothing says that like a magnifying glass.

AND they’re the perfect size for stocking stuffers!

These will be used inside and outside and are a great compliment to a flashlight if you’re already going that route.

Preschool Scissors

Arts and crafts are a big deal for preschoolers, and getting their first pair of safety scissors is one of the most exciting aspects of that!

And, of course, this arts and crafts accessory makes a great stocking stuffer idea because it fits perfectly inside and doesn’t really stand on its own as a gift.

Arts and crafts in general make great stocking stuffers and this is a unique one!  They’ll be really excited about it and have tons of fun practicing.

Stickers

If you have a preschooler in your house, then you can never have too many stickers!

Stickers make amazing stocking stuffers for preschoolers because they’re essentially disposable, they make a great arts and crafts addition, and they can be seriously inexpensive.

If you have more than one kid, they’re also really easy to split up between stockings, which saves even more!

LEGO Bagged Sets

You truly can’t go wrong with LEGOs for preschoolers and these LEGO bagged sets make amazing stocking stuffers for little boys.

They are a full complete set, but they come in a bag instead of a box which means they can easily slide right into a stocking!

And if you haven’t immersed yourself in the world of LEGOs these days, you’ll be excited to find out that each set comes with directions that are made out of pictures, so your preschooler will be able to complete them himself.

Here are some really fun LEGO sets to put in a Christmas stocking:

Play Doh

Play doh is without a doubt a classic stocking stuffer for preschool boys and there are a lot of fun options to choose from.

If you’re already overloaded with play doh, then you can include some fun play doh tools.  And if you’re not overloaded, then play doh definitely needs to work it’s way into your stocking!

Here are some specific play doh stocking stuffers for preschool boys:

Temporary Tattoos

Temporary tattoos are another great stocking stuffer for preschool boys that can be really inexpensive and still a lot of fun!

Since you can go through these really quickly, you can also split them in half and save some for an Easter basket. 😉

Socks

Socks are such a classic stocking stuffer for all ages, so of course they are a great idea for preschool boys.

Without a doubt, the best I’ve come across are these EZ Sox.

He’s loved them for as long as I can remember, so they turn up in his stocking each and every year!

They have really fun patterns and these little loops at the end that make it really easy for them to put on themselves.  

These are great socks to have, so they make a really great practical stocking stuffer idea for preschoolers!

I hope these stocking stuffers for preschool boys help make your Christmas morning magical and fun.  Enjoy your holiday!
