It's a cliché and a stereotype, but when it comes down to it, this is also a simple truth. Boys love their toys.

So for today's Father's Day badge I thought it might be productive to find out exactly what kind of new toys you, your dad, your uncle or whoever else in your family that likes to get silicon all over their fingers might enjoy as a Father's Day pressie.

Below is a poll of the kind of tech toys that talented tinkerers dream of (one is harder to acquire than all the others put together -- guess which), so cast your vote for the one you'd most like to find under your Father's Day tree (if there is such a thing), and grab yourself the Father's Day Boys' Toys badge.

And you could always tell us of anything else you wouldn't mind the family chipping in for, to make your dad's day a little bit more special, in the comments below.

But remember that in order in order to get this badge, you first need to have earned the Father's Day Shed Dweller badge from yesterday!

You have until 26th June, 2016, to get all the badges, so don't delay!

Day One: June 13th - Father's Day Badge-a-Thon: Shed Dweller
Day Two: June 14th - Father's Day Badge-a-Thon: Boys' Toys
Day Three: June 15th - Father's Day Badge-a-Thon: DIY Ninja
Day Four: June 16th - Father's Day Badge-a-Thon: The IoT of Chaps
Day Five: June 17th - Father's Day Badge-a-Thon: The Maker
Day Six: June 18th - Father's Day Badge-a-Thon: The Maker
