Default Boy Kits?

I LOVE making boyish theme kits and I am wondering if you guys have any ideas/themes/color pallets for some boyish types of kits. I would love to make some more, but need some inspiration. Hit me up!
....I do have Baseball and a Teen Punk planned this year. But would also love some color ideas for these.

Boy kits YES PLEASE, especially teen/tween ones!!

For teen punk:


Lots of paint, graffiti, stitching, metal and messy stuff...

My almost teenager - moody, lazy and full of attitude so some elements/word strips reflecting those kinds of things would be great, but also some more generic stuff to reflect a softer side that's still in there somewhere (e.g. toy cat he still adores).

It's sad, I have a boy but I don't know what ideas I can give you!

If it isn't Minecraft, airplanes, Legos or dinosaurs I wouldn't have an idea

Speaking of graffiti...I'd love a kit of JUST graffiti!

I'd love one geared more toward nerdy teens: books, computer, video games, homework, beginning to follow current events, sometimes being extremely mature and responsible and other times acting much younger than his age, etc.

I'd also love more boy-themed kits with red, especially dark red. My 12 year old often wears maroon with gray or black, and I noticed today how few older boy kits I have that work with that color scheme.

I can never have enough boy kits! I would love to see more geared toward the tweens (I have an 8 and 9 year old). Maybe stuff like video games (Roblox, Minecraft), YouTube, and they're really starting to do stuff with their friends a lot more.

Maybe a "Creature" kit that is geared towards older boys, not so cutesy? Like frogs, snakes, bugs, etc. My son, who is 11, is still catching and studying these animals, and I need a kit for the naturalist in him, lol. Outdoors/nature kits in general that are more masculine and realistic would be fantastic.

Okay, here's something I thought of last night---not a boy kit, but all around teenager kit

EMO

Black, all black. Choker necklaces, black nail polish, black lip stick....everything black. Yest both of my girls went through a black phase where all they wore was black (not the lipstick, but the polish).

They even had an emo emoji shirt

I can never have too many boy kits!! I know a lot of people thing you shouldn't have flowers in boy kits, but they really help with clustering. Flowers & foliage, please!

I second this idea! I would most definitely buy any teen boy kit with an urban/grunge type feel.

No boys here, but if you can include things that would work with boys/men of all ages, and that I can use in general...that works! Can't wait to see what you have planned!

I would love to see a teen kit with all things outdoors included.... exploring/fishing/boating/target practice/atv etc with a natural color palette vs bright colors. (besides video games and computers --- which there are tons of kits for --- these are the things my guys are into), but I can never seem to find kids with the right vibe (non cutesy/ not bright).......

Also, RC's (planes, cars, trucks, boats, drones etc) again something more geared towards older boys.

My youngest {8} is OBSESSED with tractors! Mostly John Deere, but really any kind! They also love their Nerf guns, riding bike, baseball, and getting muddy in our garden! Can't wait to see what kits you come up with!

I need a Mommy/Son Date Kit. I could also use: ATV riding, rock climbing, military kids, basketball, potty humor, Barn animals/4H, horse riding and overnight summer camps.

Gosh! These are all amazing! Keep me coming.
Love the tomboy idea, outdoorsy sounds perfect, and the all black kit sounds awesome. Thanks so much for the ideas.

I would really like a baby boy kit that wasn't all blue - more greens, yellows, grey, aqua but in softer colours - kind of like colours you would buy for a baby when you don't know the sex - my eldest is transgender/gender-fluid and it feels weird scrapping baby photos in blue...

I know that's a kind of random request and there wouldn't be many in my situation trying to scrap baby photos but maybe there are enough people that want neutral colours for baby layouts that it might be worth it. I have actually been putting off scrapping these really old baby photos for this exact reason

I would actually love a Brony (boy who likes My Little Pony) kit. My 4 1/2yo son has three that he sleeps with every night in bed.

I am ALWAYS on the lookout for kits to use for 4H so I second that theme..... my only request would be to make it general enough to work for any 4H family..... (ie: logos, mottos, ribbon colors etc are different in different countries).

I would also love an atv kit/motor cyle riding in natural colors. Every summer we spend a week in Colorado where we ride four wheelers and atvs.

An updated nerf gun battle kit would probably be a hit too, and a hunting kit.

My boys are older. They love the computers, video games but still play nerf, RC helicopters, Airsoft, and love guns. Weapons in general are really popular: swords, knives, guns, catapults etc.

I have one more idea after looking for kits to scrapbook skiing and sledding. I just realized that most of my wintery kits are blue and white and kind of frilly. I'd love some more winter kits that are more boyish and have element for skiing, sledding, snow ball fights, etc.

I just released this collection today.. it has a lot of the colours you've mentioned. Maybe something there would work with what you're looking for?

Haha already saw it, and am buying it - I audibly gasped when I saw it thank you so much for pointing it out. I love also that the ‘boy’ kit is more aqua than blue - perfect

Other colour schemes instead of the ubiquitous blues and browns would be nice. Greens would be great - not the army/camouflage, but brighter ones. Ones with more colours from the spectrum would be really nice.

If you could make something for boys not necessarily going by traditional gender-stereotypes it would also be awesome.

History-themed, detective/spy themed, dinosaurs, animals, lego, books. A mad scientist theme would also be amazing. (And they needn't be just for boys either - girls are just as welcome.)

Do you want actual colour examples of colour schemes? Or more detailed ideas for the themes? I'll be happy to help, and I'll be waiting eagerly to see what kits you come up with.

My teenager is sixteen. He loves movies, music of all kinds, he is in the band, loves to eat out with his friends (mostly burgers and shakes!), he loves the color read. Not as much as he used to, as his social life is VERY BUSY, he likes to play video games. He watches politics, mostly so he and his dad can get a good laugh at what Trump has done/said today......
