Best Christmas Gift Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy
1. Ornament
I give all of my kids an ornament for Christmas and they love it. It is so much fun for them to put them up year after year.
I always pick something that he is into or that we have done since last Christmas.
This year I may go with a soccer ball for him.
2. Piggy Bank
If he doesn’t have a piggy bank, I would highly recommend getting him one. This ATM-style one is fun.
2 of my kids have this money maze puzzle and my 6-year-old loves to play with it.
3. Books
Books are such an amazing gift. I try to add a book with every gift I give since it promotes reading – which we all know is so important!
Here are some books that I know your guy will go bananas over.
4. Connect The Dots
All of my kids love connect the dots books.
Challenge your little man to connect the dots up to 100 and beyond.
He will be having so much fun that he won’t even realize he is practicing his counting.
5. Boogie Board
Have you seen these boogie boards? It is thin, light, and can be taken anywhere!
They are amazing and my son can’t get enough. He is constantly drawing on his.
6. Tracing Pad
If he is into art, this light-up tracing pad is a must-have!
My oldest son has this light-up tracing pad and my 6-year-old is always asking to use it. Even I like using it from time to time.
I would toss in some crayons or colored pencils to help his creations come to life.
8. Rainbow Scratch Paper
I have yet to meet a kid that hasn’t gone bonkers over rainbow scratch paper.
It is just fun to use!
I think I love it just as much as kids do.
9. Slime Kit
Time to get ooey–gooey with some slime.
You are going to be amazed by how much he is going to want to create and then play with this slime kit.
My kids have spent hours with this.
10. Science Kit
I used to be a home daycare provider and every week during the summer we would have a science experiment day. All the kids told me it was the day they loved the most.
So, I know this science kit is going to be a massive hit with your little guy.
11. Nerf Guns
Boys and Nerf guns, what can I say? They go together like peanut butter and jelly.
These Nerf guns are really good. With 3 boys in my house (and a husband who has no problem playing too) we have so many different dart guns.
We also have these X-shot guns which pack a punch. And don’t forget to pick up an extra pack of foam darts.
12. Laser Tag
If you don’t want to do Nerf guns and have darts all over the place (I don’t blame you one bit girl) then I would seriously consider Laser tag. This is a game that he can grow with for sure.
My brother is 19 and he still plays with his buddies, which he assures me is more fun in the dark.
This is the set my 8-year-old has and it is dynamite.
13. Legos
He is going to spend hours and hours building with Legos.
I love giving classic Legos the best. His imagination can run wild with what he wants to build.
And in my experience, kids put the kits together and then they just sit there.
14. Magna Tiles
These Magna Tiles are something that I highly recommend you pick up for your boy, even if he has some already.
They are like Legos, more is better!
We have 3 sets and they have been played with almost every day for 6 years, no joke!
15. Games
I bet your little guy loves playing games just as much as mine does. They are a fantastic way to spend time together!
My son’s favorite games include Trouble (that pop-o-matic is everything), Guess in 10, and Checkers.
16. Dinosaur Shooter Game
Here is another fun game that he is going to love – a movable dinosaur shooting game.
It can stay in one spot or move around the floor.
17. Binoculars
Is your kiddo as observant as mine is?
He will love seeing and exploring nature even more with these binoculars.
18. Hot Wheels
This Criss Cross Crash track is epic. Boys go nuts over it. I would add in a package of Hot Wheel cars as well.
However, be aware that this track is bigger than you think so if you don’t have the space, I would skip it.
19. Remote Control Vehicle
With 3 boys, there are more than a few remote control cars at our house but these are the ones they gravitate to the most.
I do think this remote control truck would be pretty amazing to try out and if my boys saw it, it would be on their Christmas list for sure.
20. Watch
You are going to be surprised how much he is going to be wearing this watch. I know I sure am!
21. Walkie Talkies
You know that every kiddo loves playing with walkie-talkies (I do too😊).
I know these are a grown-up set but they are so worth it. Don’t make the mistake I did and buy cheap ones only to buy good ones later.
22. Farm Toys
For all the farm loving boys out there, you can’t go wrong with this set of tractors and farm animals.
We don’t have these but my nephew does and he is obsessed.
23. Marble Run
My son is nuts about his marble run and I know yours will be too.
He has spent so much time putting runs together, checking to see if they work, and adjusting them. It is so much fun for me to watch his mind at work.
24. Airplane Launcher Toy
A neighbor boy has this airplane launcher and every time we are over to play my 6-year-old gravitates to it.
The airplanes can glide pretty far.
Bet you can’t guess one of the toys on his Christmas list this year!
25. Voice Changer
All of my boys and their friends love to get silly and this voice changer takes being silly to the next level.
My nephew got it last year for Christmas and all the kids wanted turn after turn with it.
26. Knee Hockey
Give your little man something to do when he is stuck inside – knee hockey. For him, he will probably still be able to stand.
And this is a game that he can grow with. My 19-year-old brother still plays this game with my boys.
27. Magnetic Dart Board
This magnetic dart board is so great.
It is such a fun way to spend an afternoon stuck inside. And best of all, there is no chance that there will be holes in your wall, which I love!
28. Bicycle
Even if you have a snowy Christmas like I do, you can still upgrade your kiddo’s bike.
You have a few options here. Try to get a used bike, they are plenty out there if you look around. Or you can buy a new one.
We have had good luck with this bike brand.
29. Fishing Gear
Your little man is NOT too little to start collecting fishing gear (if you are a fishing family)! We are a fishing family and my son loves getting new fishing tackle for Christmas and his birthday.
You can start him off with a tackle box or tackle bag. My kids have these and are holding up fantastically.
If he already has that, you can grab him a fishing pole. There are lots of colors to choose from so I am sure that you can pick one out in his favorite color.
This is the fishing pole I would get for him. (found at Cabela's)
And lastly, you could pick up a few pieces of tackle for him.
We fish for Northern Pike, Bass, and pan fish mostly so here is some tackle for that.
30. Stomp Rocket
This outside toy is a must for every 6-year-old boy.
The stomp rocket will keep him entertained for hours!
I have tried ours plenty of times and I love showing off how high I can send the rockets too 😊.
31. Football
Boys love playing football and there are so many fun footballs to choose from.
We have experience with these 3 and they all get played with often, especially the Blitz.
32. Basketball
My 6-year-old has been loving basketball lately, maybe because he can dribble really well now. And basketball is a game that he can grow with.
This is a great basketball. I am also curious about this glow-in-the-dark basketball. If you have any experience with it, let me know in the comments below.
33. Soccer
He will kick this soccer ball around for hours and I can bet my bottom dollar that he would love to play it with you!
You can also grab this backyard soccer net so he can practice shooting goals by himself.
34. Baseball
My 6-year-old loves playing baseball with his older brothers and the gear we have is great for him.
35. Glow in the Dark Blanket
For the kiddo who has it all, a glow-in-the-dark blanket is such a unique gift.
This dinosaur blanket is really fun but my favorite is this constellation blanket.
36. Shape Shifting Box
This is an amazing fidget toy and I will be getting one for my 6-year-old this Christmas. My 10-year-old has one and they all want to use it.
It would make an excellent stocking stuffer!
37. Clothes
Don't think for one minute that giving clothes is a boring gift. If your 6-year-old has a favorite character, get him that shirt. Just size up so he can wear it for longer.
All my boys love Super Mario so I bet you can’t guess what kinds of shirts are going in their stocking this year.
