Present ideas for 6 year old girl - quick please!

[gretagrape]

Hi. I need to order a present today for my friend's little girl who will be six. She isn't a girly girl at all and has no interest in clothes but I have no idea what sort of thing six year old's can do - what sort of size jigsaws, or whether they are still scribbling or can colour things in? Do they have the attention span for 'making' things?

Please can you give me an idea of the sort of thing that a six year old would like? Not brand specific as she lives abroad so won't watch the same things as in UK, and must be fairly light so not a fortune to post.

Thanks!

those scratch out pictures ( engraving things) , the sticky mosaics with numbers on them . Also have a look on the amazon site of teh country you are sending it to . You might find it cheaper to post from there. All sites have a similar layout . I did this for German friends.

Lovely colouring pencils and a book to colour in (maybe Disney?) would have suited my girls at that age. Get a fab Crayola set of pencils today and my dd1 (now 13) would still be happy!!

thanks - will get searching!

Djeco art sets are lovely for this age group and up

Thanks for that - it's a great website. Too late for my friend's pressie but will use for my son!
