What to give a child for 6 years?

Six years is the age when a child is fully capable of remembering his birthday for a lifetime. The task of parents and other invited guests is to make this day memorable as a good one, and this can be achieved by giving some good gift. Choosing a gift has always been a daunting task, and six-year-old birthday men are far from an exception.

Choosing a gift, you can not ignore the age characteristics of the hero of the occasion. At six, he is hardly a schoolboy, but now he is very close to this status. This is already a person with whom it is interesting to talk on certain topics.

Most likely, the baby has already mastered certain skills of working with modern gadgets, is able to independently use a computer, tablet and mobile phone. It is possible that he can already read on his own - even if in a small amount, but by himself! In addition, it is from this age that any age restrictions on children's toys are usually removed.

This means that there are a lot of available options for choosing a present. There are not many things to avoid as a gift. First of all, these are typical “adult” gifts, for example, a child will not appreciate a very useful cash gift, and especially clothes or shoes.

It is undesirable to buy gifts for children too: for all its immaturity, the birthday boy is sure that he is big, he is ashamed to be small. Finally, at the age of six it is already obvious that there are gifts for boys, and there are - for girls.

The most sensible thing right now is just to push off from what the child himself would like, because he no longer just knows how to speak, but probably buzzed his parents about what he would like. But there are situations where the choice of a gift does not seem obvious. To do this, carefully examine what you can please preschooler.

With all the imaginary "adulthood" of the hero of the occasion, the child on his sixth birthday is guaranteed to be happy with the toy, but on condition that it is properly selected. Avoid children's fun now, but more serious toys will definitely fall into place.

For a boy, the most relevant option is the machine. Since the holiday is serious, do not be stingy - let it be a car on a remote control, other vehicles with similar capabilities are also appropriate. A great designer of LEGO, or any other brand, will act as a good alternative, and if the family is friendly, then a kite will become an sensible gift.

Girls still dream of beautiful dolls, but at six they should already be in a set with beautiful clothes and small accessories, like cosmetic bags. A gorgeous present will be big Dollhouse with all the utensils. It is important for girls to show someone their care, so an interactive pet is appropriate.

Unlike boring adults, children always try to try themselves in as many kinds of activities as possible, and especially a lot of attention is paid to attempts to realize themselves in creativity.

The most common creative gift that does not depend on the floor is the drawing set. It consists of an album for drawing or coloring, as well as accessories, be it colored pencils or paints with brushes. Another universal option is plasticine, and given the seriousness observed by the child, there are also certain tools for sculpting complex shapes.

Sewing is interesting for some girls from early childhood. Especially for them are produced children's kits for needlework, including everything you need for self-tailoring doll clothes and soft toys.

Kids like Board games due to the ability to communicate with other players and competitive spirit. In addition, they often benefit by developing mindfulness, logic, imagination, ability to count, and so on. The simplest options, designed for both boys and girls, are jigsaw puzzles (choose a picture carefully depending on the gender!) And games - “walkers” with chips and dices. The latter, by the way, can be an excellent entertainment for the whole family.

At the age of six, children are ready to slowly learn to play adult board games. Their specificity is such that they are usually more interesting to the males, but among the girls there are not too few exceptions. We are talking about both purely entertaining gifts, such as table football, hockey or even billiards, and much more serious games like checkers, backgammon, and even chess.

Child psychologists recommend giving books to children from a very young age. In their opinion, this contributes to the development of children and instills in them an interest in books in general. True or not, at six years it’s time for books, because the child already either knows how to read, or needs to be urgently taught, since he’s soon to go to school.

The main types of books that will interest a six year old child are:

• illustrated fairy tales: about princes and heroes - for boys, about princesses and other female heroines - for girls;
• special children's encyclopedias, devoted to what interests the child - most often it is either dinosaurs or animals;
• The playbooks are interesting for those children who themselves express a desire to quickly learn to read.

Children love animals - this is not entirely an absolute fact, but still, in most cases, fair. In addition to the joy of the birthday, such a gift is also useful - he is very much accustom to the responsibility and care for others. Of course, this should be given with caution - parents can be against it, not to mention the fact that someone from family members, and often the child himself, will be allergic to wool.

A universal gift that the absolute majority will like is a puppy, able to become a true friend, and even protection for his master for many years to come. All the other options are still a little closer to girls, although they often cause a proper reaction in boys - these are kittens, rabbits, hamsters, or even turtles.

If the idea of ​​buying an animal seems sensible, but certain circumstances do not allow it, think: perhaps an electronic interactive pet can become a relatively equivalent substitute.

The theme of the school will not be able to get around even on the sixth birthday, and often adults give birthdays gifts that coincide with this important milestone in the life of the baby. Here, consider two factors: first, children do not like purely practical gifts, so they must either be beautiful (a backpack or pencil case with the image of the favorite hero of the animated series, an illuminated globe, and so on), or have a "non-school" use usually these are colored pens, pencils, felt-tip pens, and others).

Secondly, if this gift is still intended for the school, it, despite all your efforts, will still be perceived as the least interesting. So add it also with some kind of toy or other gift, which is valuable for a child.

In an effort to stand out, adults often give children optical devices - from a magnifying glass to a microscope and a telescope. Their wording is: "To stimulate interest in science."

Eternal children's desire to create is not limited to visible types of creativity. Attempts to play music are not alien to them either. In the last decade, various versions of a small children's synthesizer have rightly been considered one of the most popular gift options, especially since they have enough functionality to create and even record their own simple melodies, including with a voice part.

Such a toy will not only take the attention of the birthday man, but also, perhaps, will reveal his talent, or at least just teach him to listen to music. In addition to synthesizers, there are also toy guitars, which are usually impossible to play productively on, and children's wind instruments.

In our times, being in a constant environment of various gadgets, children rather early on want to be like adults, including thanks to their own gadget. However, this is about "adult" gadgets, and there are indeed purely childish ones - for example, interactive pets, slightly reminiscent of "Tamagotchi", a popular decade or a half ago. Plus of such a gift that he, like a real animal, teaches accountability, but does not cause unnecessary trouble.

From conditionally children's gadgets, you can donate a special children's tablet. In fact, this is a regular tablet that can work in the “adult” mode, but it has a specially optimized operating system and a set of specific programs that allow the child to learn useful skills through the game. In general, you can donate a regular tablet, and then download the necessary programs from the Internet.

Gifts of this type are not always able to please the hero of the occasion on the day of delivery, but they can make him cry or with emotion remember the donor many years later when the child grows up. Most often, memorable surprises, one way or another, are associated with photos: this is either a skillfully made and beautifully designed photo album, both on order and with your own hands, or a collage of photos, or a picture painted from a photo. Often, they also give a photo session: at the age of six, children are already interested in taking pictures in the form of a knight or princess, so that they can admire the photos.

Of non-photographic souvenirs are often given a medal, be sure to - with the name of the birthday man and the date of his birth, and you can even with an engraved profile. Jewelry, including expensive ones, will also be presented - even for growth, but children already understand their meaning.
