U.S. Soccer’s youth standards switch from a size 3 to a size 4 ball at under-9, so an eight-year-old’s team, under-9 or under-10, plays with a 4. Beyblade X, Nerf’s N Series and LEGO Minecraft sets are labeled 8+, and the science picks here (circuits, a solar robot, a fossil dig) start at 8 as well.
