Small present ideas for 6 year old girl

[TheWildOnesRunningWithTheDogs]

It's DD's birthday quite soon. She's getting a new bike, but I would like her to have a couple of small things from us to open. Quite keen for an actual toy or game rather than craft supplies as she has plenty of the latter. She has plenty of Lego and my mum has bought her a Barbie, so neither of those. She likes science and maths, but I think a coding-type toy (which she would love) would be a bit OTT on top of a bike. Just looking for something fun and small. Any ideas would be most welcome!

One of those mini science kits. Grow your own crystal, build your own lava lamp etc
Card game (rather than a board game) like double, uno, brain box, to bean or not to bean, none of a kind

Have you got Uno? My Dd loves this game and it's nice and small and can travel. Or perhaps Dobble?

Or maybe a Galt Science Kit? They do a few we have one from DD birthday which hasn't been used yet - usual issue of too much all at once alongside Christmas so I hid it away for later this year to do.

How about some outfits to go with the Barbie. For some reason Barbie clothes are pretty expensive and hard to get so getting some to go with a new Barbie would be cool.

Off the top of my head, things my DD had/liked at that age:

Crystal growing set or crystal garden
sewing kit
make your own bath bomb kit
fairy lights for room
fairy garden growing set
Lego dots bracelets
writing set
colour changing umbrella
french knitting doll
blinger kit
lolo/jump ball
a game eg. Dobble, exploding kittens, throw throw burrito

Fab for the summer:

DD likes those dig in block of plaster to find things activities. National geographic do one with bits of fossil, or gem stones.

Board games are a bit hit and miss, she is still learning about losing well, but we have one of these which is good - everyone wins or everyone loses so good to intersperse with normal board games for a bit of a rest if she's struggling but still wants to play. https://www.steamrocket.co.uk/collections/peaceable-kingdom?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsIejBhDOARIsANYqkD2Fiutt7xxC_OMCykkem0pCmYQEtAo5axkKtIf0U3XAJPKDprCqVY0aAiamEALw_wcB

My 6 year old likes this maths based game

My eldest DD is 6 soon as well, she's getting a karaoke machine for her main present but like you I wanted her to have a few extra little bits as well. A couple of things we've gotten her include a Crayola tracing pad, a Rainbow Magic A-Z of Fairies book (she loves those books and will probably spend hours looking through the encyclopedia), and a fluffy notebook she's been drooling over for the past few weeks.

Also I went to Claires where they usually have a 5 for £5 sale on and got her loads of sparkly or cute stationary, but a lot of the time it includes soft toys, jewellery and fidget toys as well.

Thank you! The board games look good. Her grandparents have got her a couple of science kits so I think she is covered there. Thank you all.

DD is 6, she loves this game called sushi go where you have to collect cute sushi with faces - it's a card game so nice and small.

Flower press
Magformers
Kids binoculars
Lottie doll
Baking set

@AuntieJune I like the sound of the sushi game!

My soon to be 6 year old loves the unicorn version of hungry hippos https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/games-puzzles-and-books/board-games/preschool-board-games/hungry-hungry-hippos-unicorn-edition/p/189636

Because it’s quite a quick game the win/lose thing doesn’t seem to cause as much upset as with other board games, it’s really easy to just have another go.

The book How many jelly beans? is great for kids who like numbers.

This was in our 'pub bag' when ours were small and is still enjoyed:

Mine loves Polly Pockets, Jellycat bunnies, glitter and pastel gel pens, aqua beads and this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crayola-Light-Tracing-Pad-Manufactures/dp/B0084JUNVU/ref=asc_df_B0084JUNVU/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309857968049&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6096818350890033482&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007266&hvtargid=pla-442088161575&psc=1

What about the caterpillars that turn into butterflies at home? Costs £20 - not sure if it is your budget!

Marble run, if she likes big play and Sylvanian families, if she’s more into small world play

And wants a space hopper.
She also loves those live pet toys, such as this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Live-Pets-Interactive-Repeats/dp/B0B2Q81JYH/ref=asc_df_B0B2Q81JYH/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=607008662386&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3683509835603576686&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007266&hvtargid=pla-1719896556651&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Polly Pockets for sure, they have a giant piñata one on Amazon for £20-is at the moment, it comes in Unicorn or Llama, or Smyths have the Flamingo version. RRP is supposedly £45, it’s totally not worth that, but a good buy at £10.

Mine are also into Gabby’s Doll house, so the little figures from that.

They’ve played with a marble run lots recently too.

FFS, a good buy at £20

@SBAM the jelly bean book looks cute but might be a bit simple for her - she is a maths nerd who woke me up the other day to tell me she'd worked out all the prime numbers up to 100. And she had! She loves Murderous Maths, though.

Anything play dough or lol surprise
