We’ve made a list of 17 of our favorites which include a variety of different themes, accessories included, and budgets, so you can make sure you’re getting the right compact for the special boy in your life.
The Top 3 Polly Pockets for Boys
The amazing thing about Polly Pocket’s is that no theme is unimaginable. One minute Polly could be running her own Sushi Cafe, the next she could be exploring far off planets like Saturn, there’s something for everyone in this collection. We know no two boys are the same, so having this kind of variety is a blessing. If your boy likes exotic animals, we got you covered. If they dream of being the captain of a cruise ship, no worries. If they love playing outdoor sports or indoor video games, Polly has it all. Check out our favourites to find your boys next adventure.

In the crusty cone, you will find a banana split see-saw for Polly and Lila to ride, in the middle, there’s an ice cream fountain which can squirt real water that you can slide into, and in the top there’s a hot air balloon to take you into the clouds past a rainbow.

🙋♂️ Should boys play with Polly Pockets?
Yes, yes, YES! Here at The ToyZone, we don’t listen to “rules”, especially when it comes to gender. We believe all kids should play with the toys they are drawn to and interested in, whether that be boys playing with dolls or girls playing with race cars, it’s all about the child’s development, not what society says is right. Science has shown that different types of toys affect different parts of a child’s development. For example, playing with dolls (either gender) will evolve their empathy skills as they learn to care for and nurture others. In the case of Polly Pocket, boys will increase their imaginative play as they delve into the different scenarios Polly has to offer. They will also develop those empathy skills mentioned earlier, but ultimately, they will have fun playing!
So… What Polly Pocket Should You Get?
As you probably already know, different boys have different interests, even when it comes to Polly Pocket. Before committing to a purchase, we suggest doing a little research first. If he has dreams of becoming a sports star, then Polly Pocket Soccer Squad would make the ideal gift. If he’s interested in exploring space, Polly Pocket Saturn Space Explorer With Lunar Vehicle is the way to go. We’ve tried to include sets for a variety of interests and a variety of budgets to make sure there is one perfect Polly Pocket for the special boy in your life.
