Retro Handheld Arcade Game
This mini handheld arcade game was such a huge hit for my 6-year old boy!
It was, without a doubt, one of his favorite birthday gifts…and who would have thought?
The game works just like a gameboy, but what is great is that it’s only one game and you don’t need to worry that they’re accessing something you aren’t comfortable with.
This is a gift for 6-year old boys that will always be a winner!
Here are some of the other varieties they have:
Magnet Tiles
These magnet tiles are a classic gift for 6-year old boys and a really great option if you’re looking for something that doesn’t involve batteries.
Because of how they cling together, you can build some really amazing designs!
This is a great idea for kids that love to build and is such a great way to get their brains working.
Fort Kit
This fort kit is one of the coolest gift ideas for 6-year old boys that love to build forts!
The pieces can all be used to build the frame of a structure – any structure they want – and then a blanket can be thrown over to make the coolest tent!
This is a great gift that uses imagination and stretches their brain, without any batteries or technology.
It’s a big winner with 6-year old boys!
Bakugan
These Bakugan balls are one of those new fads that are loved by 6-year old boys!
They start out as balls, but once rolled they pop open to form dragons and other mythical creatures…almost like little transformers!
Even if you’re not sure they’ll love these, it’s worth adding just in case.
You can get the whole set, or just one mini version for them to try out!
Sea & Stars Projection Lamp
This projection lamp was an unexpected huge hit with my 6-year old and is a great gift idea if you’re looking for something that isn’t a toy.
First of all, this lamp works really well…much better than others I’ve come across. The entire room fills with your projection and the lamp spins, which creates a really cool effect.
But second, and the really cool part for us, is that you can switch from classic moon and stars to sea creatures!
Believe it or not, this was my son’s favorite gift from him 6th birthday!
Wall Climbing Car
This wall climbing car is such a brilliant idea and will be so much fun for your 6-day old boy AND you.
The car is able to suction onto the wall while you use a remote control to steer it!
You can also use it on the floor as a classic remote control car, which is also a lot of fun.
This is a really great gift idea for 6-year old boys that will pretty much always go over well!
Their First Gameboy
Your little boy is growing up!! That means it’s time for their first ever gameboy!
My son got one for his 6th birthday and it was definitely one of the show stoppers.
This is a gift that will last for many years and is a great distraction for long car rides or travel.
Here are some fun games that are perfect for 6-year old boys to go with the Nintendo (and don’t forget to consider getting a case for everything!):
Hot Wheels Track
This hot wheels track is a really fun gift and way better than the hot wheels tracks of past decades!
This one has a motor that will keep the cars spinning around the track, which is a lot of mesmerizing fun.
For any boys that loves cars and vehicles, you really can’t go wrong with one of these!

There are 11 different experiments that they can try out, from creating crystals to erupting volcanoes.
This is a perfect 6-year old gift if you’re looking for something educational that doesn’t involve batteries, bells, or whistles.
Brain Flakes
These brain flakes are a really fun gift idea for 6-year olds that will keep them really busy!
The flakes work like blocks, except because of their design, you can create way more advanced shapes.
There is a guide to build specific creations, but they can also use their imagination to create whatever they want.
