What to Look for in Gifts for 6 Year Old Girls
Shopping for young children can be a lot of fun, but it can also be stressful if you do not know what you are looking for. Little girls at 6-year-olds have so many different things that they can be into. Making their own artwork or doing crafts is a big one at this age. They may also like dolls, puppies, kittens, and other animals.
Of course, being a girl does not mean they do not like active toys, sports themes, building, or other STEM themes in their activities. At 6 years old, they should also have a well-developed personality that includes things they really love and think they do not like to play with. You should certainly use their own personality when choosing the perfect present.
You can also choose toys and activities that they have never been exposed to before, as they are still at an age where learning and new discoveries are meaningful.
Another good idea is to use developmental milestones as a guide to what you are buying. A 6-year-old is entering middle childhood, according to the CDC. Children at this age show their family emotional and social changes such as understanding their place in the world and beginning to think about the future. They are also rapidly developing their thinking and learning skills. You can focus on toys and activities that will promote their continued development.
Most of all, make sure you are shopping for a present you think she will like and use. Do not only buy things you enjoyed as a child or wished you had, think about who you are buying for.
