Gift Ideas for a Six Year Old Girl
If you ask a six year old what she wants for her birthday, you're likely to get some pretty interesting requests. What I like to do with my daughter is to ask her what gifts she would like, but also to give her some suggestions.
Our six year old daughter asked for a cellphone, chihuahua, and pony. We didn't think these were practical or appropriate, so most likely it will be the watch this year.
Our second daughter turned six and she asked for a makeup kit, ice cream, high heels and books.
Here are 6 great gift ideas for the little girl that you want to make smile on special holidays or her birthday!

A Make-up Kit
It's easy to want to avoid gifts that put emphesis on how a child looks, but when our daughter turned 6 there is nothing she played with more or enjoyed more. She liked it so much we bought one for the girl that lives down the street. The funny thing is, our Nine year old girl told us she fell into and came out with make-up on. Some girls just love this stuff.
Being Six is all about learning
Some kids are pretty strong readers by the time they're six. Getting the great books and reading to them is a great way to encourage this healthy habit. Books are a great gift for a six year old. Some favorite books for six year olds are E.B White books like Charlotte's Web and The Magic Tree House series.

Great Responsibilities come with turning Six
Gifts are a great way to give kids the opportunity to take on more responsibility, that's why I love the idea of giving a six year old a watch. For example, I want that TV off in ten minutes and then show them where the hand on the clock will be. Or, can you time how fast you can clean your room. My favorite, is let's see how fast you can take a bath and get dressed. Give her a watch and she'll have just the tool that teaches her to tell time and to become more responsible for herself.
Crazy Me Watch by Swatch is fun for young girls
Pink Basketball is a great gift for a girl

Active Gifts that You can Play with your Six Year Old
I love sporting equipment for girls. Sports have been such a positive influence in my daughters life. They teach teamwork, responsibility and help them deliver confidence in themselves. At six, girls are playing soccer and softball in our town. Teach her to play by getting her good equipment. Good equipment like her own quality softball glove or a new pink basketball might be a ticket to getting her interested in sports at a young age.
Six year olds can use these devices better than we can
A tablet, Computer or Laptop. You may have a family computer, but if everyone spends as much time on the computer as we do, then each family member will want their own. There are lots of great educational sites like Noggin and Kidzui, plus Webkinz is pretty good as well that a six year old can master.
This is a great Birthday or Christmas gift
Jewelry making kit. Six year olds love crafts. Even if she doesn't have her ears pierced (I think most six year old girls do not have pierced ears - ours doesn't), she may still love a jewelry making set for clip on earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Our girls have played for hours with attaching feathers to berets, making bracelets and rings. As far as our girls go, the more glitter the better.
What's the Best Gift for a Six Year Old Girl?

I gave my daughter my old laptop when she was 3. It is still working, and she is 6. I think it is very important to know technology. That is the way of the world now. If you can't use a computer, forget about getting anywhere in life. The world revolves around computers and technology. You can find cheap brand new laptops for $150.00. All the child needs is educational websites, or educational programs (which are around $20.00) if there is a family computer that the child can play on, buy an educational disc. If you are too old fashion, and do not believe In technology, barbies, dress up, play makeup.... The list goes on.
Walkie Talkies are an awesome idea. I'll add them to this list.
My husband and I got out 6yr old twin girls walkie talkies and they LOVED them. We didnt get the cheap ones Like the princess ones but some good ones from Target. Only paid 14.99, thats what you would pay for the cheap ones that wont last!.....My cell was dead Black Friday so we used them and we loved it to
Well, I fixed up an old computer for my daughter when she turned 5 and I'd have to say those of you who think it isn't a good idea are dead wrong. She's spent more time on it than any of the other gifts she has ever received. And I dare say you're never too young to start learning how to use a computer and it's not like they're going away. A laptop is a bad idea, stick with a desktop it will last longer and you'll be able to control usage much better.
ok i have a 5 year old step brother and he uses his moms laptop all the time!! but he has an ipod and he already lost it in the house.im not saying its a bad gift but i think you should try to get the kids outside.and even if you do give her that you should probably have an adult watch her use it.
My daughter is six soon and I was really stuck for ideas. She loves basketball though so I think a hoop would be a great idea. A lap top is not appropriate for a six year old, though I do let her play kids games on mine. I think a lap top is something to think about when kids are a little older (maybe 10?) and they can appreciate them.
Every kid is different. I have another daughter turning six this year and she probably wants make-up and outfits more than toys. I'm not a huge fan of toys for kids like the plasticy stuff that breaks and gets spread all over the house. I do like sporting equipment though.
I agree -- a 6-year-old doesn't need his/her own computer. Get them a friggin' bike and get them outside. Buy them a basketball hoop. A butterfly net. A stepping-stone kit. A Chia pet... Anything but a computer (that they're going to inevitably wreck). Also, in my opinion, a watch is the worst gift to get anyone. Ever. Kids want TOYS, not functional, practical crap.
a 6 year old does need her own computer! she is still a baby! A siz year old should still be having fun without technology, whatever happen to dolls and dress ups?
My daughter is 6 in 4 weeks and I asked her what she wanted. She wants a DS. So thats what I've got her. I have a PC and a laptop and she uses mine all the time to play childrens cd-roms on so theres no reason why a laptop isnt a good idea.
My daughter has bikes, scooters, inflatable giant basketball nets, a wii, books, a tv in her room with dvd player, more things than u can imagine. She looks after them all and isnt too young for any of them. I get her alot of arts & craft things aswell. Educational things are the best I say. Its the age they learn most. At this age they should be able to roughly tell u what they want.
Cool hub! I wouldn't say a laptop is a great present for a 6 year old, but the others are great. Thanks!
I "pimped" out my 6 year olds bike for her birthday- Nantucket bike basket, Dolly ride with me seat for the back and a bell. When the snow starts to melt she is going to be on that bike daily! A watch is a GREAT idea too, but she has that. I also highly suggest sports equipment- t-ball sets, glove and ball, children's basketball hoop, mini golf set, etc. It gives them something to look forward to using if they have a winter birthday!
Come on a laptop? Havent u people heard about the economy being in the.toilet? That is exactly where this idea belongs!
Laptops are wayyy to much for my six year
Old
She has no idea how to keepthings clean
She will rub dirt and snot into it all
a bike is grate my sister has just got a new bike and she loves it x
kids usually like things tat r colorful....better get it their way....y not a small handbag or purse for a small girl....she would feel the pride of a women....
These are some really great ideas. I think some other great things are musical instruments. A little better quality than the toddler ones. They are learning rhythm and beat. Cd's seem to be a good idea as well, especially if they have older siblings that have their own cd players.
Honestly though, I usually go for the art sets. There are so many great ones out there, like make your own jewelry box and tie dye kit, as well as magnet sets.
six year olds don't like color books????? I still love to color, and I color with ALL my grandkids, and they love it too! Laptop is a little too much. Don't think six year olds can take care of a laptop, especially if they have younger siblings. Books are ALWAYS good! Jewelry-making kit is a good idea if someone is around when they play with them, especially if there are younger siblings around. (I don't like to get my grandkids things that require too much adult attention...they get little time to use that stuff, and sometimes that kind of stuff gets put away and forgotten.) For me, I am going with the watch...since they already have a dog, LOL.
i think u should buy a couler book and A BAG
I'm amazed to see how well a six year old can work a laptop.
wow
a laptop??!!??!!??!!??!!??!!?!?!
Get a netbook. They also have a fabulous Disney netbook.
You would be better off finding a desktop computer instead of a laptop. The desktop will take more abuse from a small child than a laptop. Laptops are quite a bit more to repair if something should happen to it. Plus you really shouldn't touch an lcd screen and a small child may touch the screen and ruin it.
cool n fancy watch .fresh look n cathing eye colors , easily attract a 6 year old child
Good ideas! Thanks for sharing :)
A great way to get a kid a computer for a birthday gift or any occassion is to watch craigslist. Find an inexpensive laptop for a one to two hundred and then wipe it clean and put a new operating system on it. This will help on old computer function better. This should provide all the computing power a child needs...surfing the web and playing educational games.
Wow a computer, really? My daughter is six. I'm a Mac girl, so I think new computer=$1000. Whats a cheaper way to get a kid into a computer?
Hey Paul and Robin!!
You can tell I have no children!! I thought a tennis racket would be perfect for a six year old!!
Blessings always, Earth Angel!
Some good ideas there. I love your daughter's choice of gifts, so funny! I think that books are always a good gift; there is so much choice, and like you say, a six year old will probably get lots of joy from learning to read them themselves.
My daughter is just about six and she's been telling me how cool Hannah Montana is. I worry that she's a little too snotty to be encouraged, but a watch sounds like a nice gift. Glad she liked it.
On my 5-year-old niece's birthday, I got her a Hananah Montana watch and she went crazy over it! I knew she liked H.Montana, but wow! It's amazing how much impact that young idol have on kids as young as my niece.
Our 6 y/o granddaughter loves arts and crafts! and yes, I think it's time for some jewelry-making!
Crayons and coloring books seem like they are more appropriate for a younger child like a three to four year old.
How about coloring books and crayons? Those make great gifts for 6 year old!
Some really great ideas. Kids can be hard to buy for. Thank you.

Some good ideas for my nephew that I have bought who is seven that might be good for a 5 year old girl (non gender specific toys): books, puzzle, board games, card games, crayons (thinking about a crayon toy for next winter for a 8 year old so so much for crayons being a 3 year old toy--think most parents are too cool to buy crayons for the most part), learning coloring books, play toys, play doh, and yes (in the technology category) my nephew also has a leapster but no "real" video games. I think a leapster is plenty technology (but my nephew has a Aunt who didn't do Game boy (since it only came out then) until she was 9-10 years old so doing more than leapster at 7 is not necessary.
