60 Gifts for 6-Year-Old Girls That Will Entertain and Inspire Your Little One (2024)

Turning six years old is a magical time for little girls. All of a sudden they’re “big kids” who are able to do so many things they couldn’t before — children make huge developmental leaps at this age as they wrap up kindergarten, which means it's the perfect time to introduce some “big kid toys” to match their new independent personas. We’ve put together a list of gifts for 6-year-old girls that they’ll be sure to love and, more importantly, will hold their interest for more than five seconds.

Of course, even 6-year-old levels of wonder and excitement can’t entirely stave off the inevitable, frequent whine, aka the bane of parents everywhere: “I’m booored! There’s nothing to dooo!” (OMG, for real, kid? Because you’re literally sitting on a pile of discarded toys like a dragon on a horde of gold.)

When curating this gift list, 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. These gifts for 6-year-old girls our those that the girls in our lives played with, built, and gave their unfiltered opinions on the great gifts on this list.

That means we can confidently say these choices will not only speak to your kiddo’s interests but, just maybe, might encourage some new ones along the way.

Most of the 6-year-old girls we know have a menagerie of stuffed animals. And the only thing that can make it more magical: unicorns in a whimsical rainbow carrier! This set includes two unicorns, a unikitty, a unipuppy, and a narwhal, the unicorns of the sea.

Your 6-year-old girl will love having their very own fairy sidekick who can actually fly! Just flip the switch, wait about 6 seconds for the fairy to gather her energy (as Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother once said, “Even miracles take a little time!”), and watch her soar. Your child’s hand will guide her as she zips around the room.

This fantastic DIY suncatcher kit includes everything they’ll need to stave off boredom for hours, with 12 suncatcher shapes, eight paints, and an acetate sheet to create their very own window-cling designs. Once their creations are dry, they can attach them to the suction cups and proudly display them on a window or other glass surface.

This kit comes with everything your child will need to make 10 soaps, 10 bath bombs, and salt scrubs, including a variety of colors, scents, and hidden charms that will make tub-time vibrant, fragrant, and fun. Best of all, making these items encourage STEM skills and encourage them to think about what else they can create!

Some days, kids don’t know what to do with all their energy (sadly, science hasn’t found a way to transfer it to exhausted adults), so they wind up bouncing off the walls. Now you can help them bounce off a friend or sibling (safely): Kids just slip into the suit and have fun bumping “bellies.”

Everyone’s favorite party game now has a Disney twist: Players place cards displaying the name of characters from beloved cartoons in a tiara (styled after a Disney princess, naturally) before asking questions to figure out who they are. This set also comes with a bonus pack of Frozen-themed cards. Perfect for parties or family game nights!

Let their imagination run wild with this fun painting set. This set includes 12 acrylic paints, 10 brushes, four designed and two blank cotton canvases, one wooden art easel, one washing cup, one mixing palette, and a kids smock.

Whether they love the great outdoors, building things, or imaginative play, this is a universally loved gift for 6-year-old girls — because who doesn't enjoy a good LEGO play set!? This cool forest house set comes with a cabin, kayak, four characters, and lots of cool accessories … or at least everything you need to make them, and that’s half the fun!

If you weren’t aware, 6-year-old girls are obsessed with tiny things. The Miniverse — blind-bag type toys that kids can assemble and harden under a UV light (or by setting in the sun) — are total catnip for kids this age.

Many video game systems are frustrating for younger kids. Tiny hands can’t work the buttons, for starters. This system is different from any other console on the market. There’s no controller, and each game is designed to help kids work up a sweat.

This LEGO Friends set is certain to make STEAM careers seem exciting (because they are). As part of LEGO’s Play Unstoppable campaign to encourage creativity in young girls, this set is a guaranteed hit.

It’s no secret kids love slime, but the recipes can be confusing and imperfect. This adorable slime kit allows 6-year-old girls to do every step themselves, from mixing colors and sparkles to labeling their own storage bags — no adult help required.

If her room is ready for a glow-up, this play couch fits the bill. Waterproof cushions can be rearranged and Velcroed together in a variety of configurations — so whether she wants a quiet spot to read or a landing pad for stunts, she’s covered.

Barbie is a hit with this age group, but the Barbie boat set is a particular favorite. From the included cute pooch to the fact that it *actually floats* in the bathtub or pool, this one’s a fan favorite.

This tracing kit allows girls to design outfits, choose hairstyles, learn lettering, and more. It’s the perfect outlet for all of their creativity — and burgeoning fashion sense.

What’s more fun than air brushing your own plush toy? Doing it over and over again. This toy scores points for allowing lots of creativity — with very little mess.

Most kids transition from three-wheeled scooters to just two around age 6, so the classic Razor A scooter is a perfect choice for that transition. Three height settings and replaceable wheels mean it will last her until middle school.

This sparkly little smartwatch is just right for 6-year-olds to play around with. With audiobooks, a few games, and a selfie mode, it’s a fun way to keep busy during car rides or long waits.
