Gift Ideas for 6 Year Olds ????
Ask a Question
Any sujjestions please , such a difficult age as we've done the cars stage, dinos, superheroes, ryans world etc haven't many ideas atm 
It’s a hard age to buy for nerf guns are pretty popular atm my nephew loved them at that age
Mick82 thanks so much yes it is ! Good shout actually will have a look thankyou
When my son was 6 he loved scooters, bikes, footballs, fidget toys, remote control cars and lego
Midnightflower thankyou I'm going to add those ro the list especially the fidget toys lego and football
Our nephew likes being creative and wanted aqua beads kits. We bought imitation kit from Amazon and he was happy with it. He’s 7.
Have you looked on the Wicked Uncle website? You can select your preferred gender and age for recommendations.
The Works bookstore usually have some great gifts as well as good offers on books.
The trouble with recommending for someone else's child, without knowing what they are like or if they have any interests it can be quite difficult. Not all 6 year olds have the same skills either. It would also massively depend on your budget.
Some ideas:
Bicycle, scooter, skateboard, pogo stick with helmet.
Magnetic building blocks/tiles.
Word/number games (we recently got our nephew some David Walliams ones)
Board Games.
Skill toys like yo-yos or diablos.
Books - Where's Wally or similar if they haven't got them already or World Record books)
Clothing.
Instrument of some kind or just a walk on piano.
Learn a new skill, like a magic set.
Colour in Duvet Colour, Tablecloth, clothing etc. (Eat Sleep Doodle, do some fab products)
Sylvanian families.
Den building kits (The Den Kit Co are good, so I've heard)
Jigsaw puzzles.
DeBunny thanks so much for the reply and the great ideas, he loves Davis Walliams at school such a great idea! Omg a pogo stick, and dens he would love those!I always wanted one amazing what others thinks of that I couldn't thanks for making so many sujjestions x
Schleich have some amazing toys, like sharks, spiders, dragons they are well detailed and sturdy. My son used to collect the eldrador collection,..Lego is so much fun for them at that age, really helps with creativity, plus endless fun,.....also drawing, reading(maybe comic books) x
nina090976 brilliant thankyou also his never had comics thanks so much for the ideas x
I know this may be a little out there, rather than buying him material things why not give him a choice of family days out, bowling, seaside, zoo etc. His choice that way you can build memories together. Looking back he won't remember toys.
beccatavender that's such a lovely comment thanks so much I booked the zoo today and thought what a great idea x
You could always take a look on Argos and put the age range in to see what there is to offer, have the little person sat next to you and see what they like.
Take a look here at Toys for 5-8 year olds:
www.thetoyshop.com/c/all-categories?ageRange=5%20-%208%20years
Books? Craft things? Also agree with thinking about experience rather than material things
My son had the Brio wooden train which was great as friends and family could buy extra pieces to go with it. He is now 24, but we still have the set in the loft as it is such a good make.
eyeballkerry We bought the Brio for my son when he was little and kept adding bits to it, he's now 30 and his children play with it at my house, it's been well played with and will last for years, this was definitely one of our best buys.
We are still waiting for grandchildren unfortunately lost two. This Sunday would have been our grandsons 3rd Birthday sad
