20 Best Gifts for 6-Year-Old Girls That Keep Up with Her

 

Turning six years old is a magical time for little girls. They’re in school now, they’re exploring the world around them and making new friends. In short, this is the age when they start to turn into “big kids.” Sure, sometimes you’ll miss your baby, but there’s so much to love about this age that the good outweighs the melancholy. Children make impressive developmental leaps at this age as they wrap up kindergarten and start first grade, which means it’s the perfect time to introduce some “big kid toys” to match their new independent personas.

When curating this list of gifts for 6-year old girls, we strived to select a variety of toys, books, and games that the little girl in your life will she’ll want to play with over and over again. In other words: we’re confident these gifts will stave off the “I’m booooored”s, mainly because we talked to the girls in our lives as consultants. They’ve played with, built, and gave their unfiltered opinions on our selections.

That means we can confidently say these gifts for 6-year old girls will not only speak to your kiddo’s interests but, just maybe, might encourage some new ones along the way.
