texasmama Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 zhu zhu pets, anything hello kitty and anything crafty. She loves clothes so pretty dresses are her idea of a good time. She is currently making a necklace strung on embroidery thread from different beads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahamamama Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I know this isn't what you're looking for... :blush: but I asked my 6.5 year old the other day, "What do you like?" Her answers were: Playing in the sandbox Playing in the little pool Playing in the dirt Finding sticks, rocks, and acorns for my nature collection Watering my garden Picking beans in my garden Playing baby dolls Playing baby dolls with Emily (cousin)! Playing baby dolls with Emily at Grammy's house!! Playing with Hannah & Mary (twin 4.5 year old sisters)... well, sometimes Making things with paper, scissors, and a glue stick Glittery beads, pipe cleaners, foam sheets, felt sheets, more glue Burlap sewing Playing dress up & costumes Playing with the doll house Sleeping in my bed Those were her happy thoughts. She didn't fly, though. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Legos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'm with you. I'm starting to think Christmas so I can sock things away, and there's nothing that she absolutely adores that I know she'll play with for ages. I think one of her gifts for Christmas will be either a beanbag or papasan chair since she's learning to read independently and wants to be in her room for that. Other than that, I don't know. She likes to cook right now, so I'm thinking about getting her some measuring cups and spoons and mixing bowls and a cookbook, and maybe finding a cute little apron to go with it. Happy Early Birthday to your sweet girl :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtney.byrum Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 My almost 6 yr old loves Hello Kitty, books, crafty stuff, weaving on her potholder loom, and then whatever her brother is doing. She likes but doesn't 'love' zhu zhu pets/furry frenzies, littlest pet shop, her doll (AG knockoff type) She likes her brother legos but doesn't play with them enough for us to get her much of her own. Oh and lately dressup has been big again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 DD's birthday is next weekend, and we still haven't gotten her anything. Every other year there was a big milestone toy that we got her, like her first bike last year. Now, we're both at a loss. She loves crafty things. She's pretty proficient with those potholder looms, and she spends a lot of time coloring and making things. She's also rediscovered her feminine side, so she's really into wearing dresses and hair bows. But she also likes dirt and bugs. So, what does your 6 year old love to play with? Our 7yodd loves: Yarn, knitting, and finger-knitting Her sketchbook and prismacolors Field guides Pressing flowers Nature journals Books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Legos, and toy swords/bows/etc. He got a soccer goal and ball for his birthday this year. (My 6yo is a boy. But my 9yo DD likes Legos and toy weapons too, as well as dress-up stuff and American Girl doll stuff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Blue House Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 My six year old loves her kidzoom camera. http://www.amazon.com/VTech-80-106950-901-Vtech-Kidizoom-Camera/dp/B0027CS7DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1311451731&sr=8-3 The pictures aren't the best quality but she has a lot of fun with it. It also takes videos, has a few game options and a setting to take funny distorted pictures...which always make us laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It's very hard to shop specifically for Sylvia because she's only 2 years younger than Becca and they share 99% of their toys. Sylvia loves dressing up, My Little Ponies, Barbies, Build a Bears... basically go into a store and find something girly and she'll love it. I asked her directly and she said, "I love playing with my sister!" :001_wub: "And with Meow-Meow!" "And on the computer, and the DS!" She has an AG Bitty Kid, but she hates it. It's so strange - Bitty Kid is always evil or a bully or something. Just plain weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Polly stuff. Lots and lots of Polly and Littlest Pet Shop stuff. Tons of little crafty things, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My dd was six when she got the Playmobil hospital as her gift. She loves it still almost 4 years later. LOVE IT. All her friends love it as well. I will hold on to it and save it for her children to play with. I love the idea of getting one big gift instead of lots of little stuff. Her grandparents bought her the ambulance and her aunt & uncle gave us $30 and we wrapped up the baby ward and said it was from them.

JennyD Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My 6yo's great, all-consuming passion is Monopoly. He talks about it endlessly, reads about it constantly, creates his own boards, begs anyone and everyone to play with him, and if nobody is available he plays multiple positions himself. Oh, and he has already decided that he is going to be Mr. Monopoly for Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIE! Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Currently she loves her light bright and her bead jewelery making kit. She's recently become very interested in sewing, so for her upcoming birthday (7) we're going to get her a sewing basket filled with needles, thread, buttons, other notions, scissors, and fabric.

Dmmetler Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Legos, american girl stuff (the "make this for your doll" sets are a real win, as is anything AG sized that can be used with the dolls-it doesn't have to be real AG at all), books, paper and nice drawing supplies, crafts in general, and did I mention Legos? Also, neocash for her Neopets account so she can buy clothes and accessories for her virtual pets. Barbie/Kelly, polly pocket, Littlest Pet shop, and My Little Pony are all ebbing a bit-they occasionally get played with, but mostly when another child is over to play with them. By herself, it's usually the things mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FO4UR Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My dd6 loves her beading kit. I bought it at TRU. She makes necklaces and bracelets for herself and her friends. I find the kit has managed it's way up to her bed with frequency...(her brothers aren't allowed there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessedwith7 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My 6 yo has a life size doll from Walmart. (I personally don't care for the face of the doll, but she doesn't mind it - it was $10) It can wear newborn/size 1 diapers and 3-9 month clothes and can fit in all of the baby equipment we have in the basement (swing, car seat, etc.) She and our 8 yo and 10 yo play with them a lot. She also likes Loving Family, sticker books, painting, dot to dot, early reading books... She plays a little bit with her Target brand "American Girl" 18" doll, but really prefers her "real" baby.

Jen in PA Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 My 6yo old loves Legos, Playmobil, K'nex, Snap Circuits, the Lego board games you build before playing, chess, art supplies. dress up clothes, anything for outdoor play, and Magic Treehouse books.

Tenaj Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Magnetic Mosaics. My six year old boy will sit for hours with these.

raceNzanesmom Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 When our youngest turned 6 last year we bought him a few "wants", but then I also bought Now We Are Six . He got the biggest kick out of it and had me read it over and over to him. It was like it was his personal book of poetry. Very sweet! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrub Jay Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 DD is turning 6 next month and has asked for an American Girl doll. She has played so much with the Bitty Baby we got her over the holidays and wants an "older sister" for the baby. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
