Gifts for 6-Year-Old Girls From Books to Barbies 2024

The First Book of Why by National Geographic is a fantastic way to introduce and explain many different concepts and ideas to your budding genius. The book goes out of its way to explain complex concepts in simple terms that a 6-year-old can grasp with ease. There are no long-winded answers. All text bubbles are short, crisp, and to the point, keeping in mind the attention span of 6-year-old kids.

Besides the ease of understanding, the pictures accompanying the questions and answers make for an enjoyable reading time. The lovely vibrant colors are beautiful and compel the kids to keep turning the pages.

This is one of the best kid’s encyclopedias out there because of the range of topics it covers. There’s a lot on aquatic life, social norms, skin colors, parts of the body, dreams, farm animals, wild animals, plant life, insects, cities, and more. A helpful guide for parents is also included in the book to help them navigate it better and make the most of the experience.

Any list of the best gifts for 6-year-old girls would be incomplete without the inclusion of a kick-ass dollhouse. As Barbies are synonymous with dolls, we had to include this dollhouse in the list as a reliable option.

This house is enormous, has three stories making it 3 feet tall, and eight different rooms that lend to its width of 4 feet. It features a swimming pool, sauna, car-port, a nice slide, office space for the modern working doll, and four rooms for the whole family. There are 70 additional toy accessories included in the package, making this a whole Barbie dollhouse world for your daughter.

What makes it unique is the inclusion of lights and sound effects – flushing the toilet, sizzling eggs in the frying pan, and so on. It is also unique in another aspect, as it allows 360 degrees access from all angles. There are no walled-off areas, and your child can play in the different rooms from any side.

Your girl will never run out of ideas and inspirations to tell her own stories with the numerous props and playing options provided by this house. The house is so sturdy and durable that it will become a keepsake once your girl has grown out of her playing-with-the-dolls phase.

This the perfect toy for group play activities when your girl has invited over a few friends to playtime. It sparks your child’s creativity, fires up her imagination, and enhances her problem-solving skills. It keeps her busy for hours working on creating different kinds of structures.

The sticks and balls are easy to use, made of good quality plastic, and can withstand rigorous wear and tear. A simple two-step insert-and-twist mechanism is used to create the links between the sticks and the balls. There are 75 sticks and 45 balls in total, so your child will not run out of material if she thinks of creating a massive structure like a castle, fort, or a school. The balls and sticks are sturdy, so the structures will not collapse easily.

Another point in its favor is it can be played indoors and outdoors, and it can also be played alone or with a group of friends. It can also be used to create a separate playhouse for your girl: just use a bedsheet or throw to cover the structure and make a small house for your little one.

This tracing pad is the perfect gift for your budding artist as it includes more than 100 traceable images that help them hone their craft and improve their drawing skills. Besides the trace papers, colored pencils, a black tracing pencil, and blank sheets are also included in the package.

Your girl can spend hours tracing the patterns on the ten sheets provided, drawing her own designs on the blank sheets, filling them in with various colors, and then having fun lighting up her drawings and making them glow. She can use the pad at night with minimal lights or inside her little castle without putting a strain on her eyes. She can learn to practice her letters, numbers, work on her sketching skills, create art projects, and even make 2D animation figures. The lit-up images glow-in-the-dark and can be placed amongst her other glow-in-the-dark toys and stickers.
