Best Toys For 6 Year Old Boys: Top 5 Ideas
1. ANTAPRCIS RC Remote Control Toy 4WD Stunt Car
This is a great gift for any young man who really likes cars! They are great fun, easy to use and perfect for playing with other friends and family members too.
What we like about it:
- Can be manoeuvred from a distance. The strong 2.4Ghz transmitter allows plenty of space between you and the car, so you can drive it around the house without having to be right on top of it.
- 360 degree movement. This stunt car really is a stunt car; it can flip itself over and drives on both sides as well as moving in just about every direction there is.
- TRP rubber tyres. This improved grip means that this car will run easily and well on most surfaces, with good control and stability. You can use it on grass, sand, carpet, and it will even drive through puddles!
- Rechargeable and comes with extra batteries. You can keep this car going for hours on end, and you won’t have to fork out on expensive batteries every time it runs out of power – simply plug it in and carry on.
- Can be enjoyed with friends. If your child’s friends or siblings also have one of these cars, they can enjoy them together without the fear that the controllers may interfere with each other.
2. Hover Football Set of 2
Perfect for the sporty child who loves football, this is like the traditional football with a twist! An ideal present for the young, 21st century sports fan.
What we like about it:
- Excellent for keeping fit and active. They say that our kids lead sedentary lives with too much screen time – they certainly won’t when you give them this hoverball set!
- Can be used indoors. Even when it’s raining outside and too wet for football, your little ones can still enjoy their favourite games (just keep the balls away from your favourite ornaments!)
- Great for encouraging team playing. Getting kids to enjoy team sports is really good for developing sharing skills and playing together.
- Works on any smooth surface. You can use this hover ball on tiles, short carpet, or wooden floors, making it a versatile plaything.
- Durable and well made. Your kids can enjoy this toy safely and without damaging it, and it’s even safe to use around your pets.
3. Basketball Hoop
An excellent plaything for children who love shooting hoops and dream of being Michael Jordan, this one is safe and simple to use, and has a great many benefits.
What we like about it:
- Completely portable and can be played with anywhere. You can set this hoop up anywhere with a strong vertical wall – your living room; outside; in a garage; in the office.
- Excellent for health and fitness. Getting children to enjoy running around, playing a sporting game, either alone or with team mates, is a fantastic gift to give anyone.
- Strong enough to stand up to hard play. The back board is made of tough plastic, while the rim is made of strong metal so it is pretty impossible to break.
- Promotes hand eye coordination, physical fitness and team playing. Playing around with a basketball hoop will distract your children from TV and computers, and help keep them fit and active.
- Adjustable height. This hoop can be moved up or down depending on the height of your child and the ability levels, meaning that it is suitable for all children.
4. Funtime PL7690 Instant Table Tennis
This table tennis set is highly portable and the net can be set up just about anywhere. It also comes with its own table tennis paddles and balls – a really comprehensive kit!
What we like about it:
- Can be attached to just about any width of table as the net automatically stretches. A smaller than average, or a wider than average table, will still work with this table tennis net.
- Great at teaching hand eye coordination. Learning to hit the ball in the right way so it goes over the net is an acquired skill that takes a little time and practise, which will teach your little ones skills for the future.
- Paddles and balls are quality. The bats with this kit are quality ones, not flimsy little things that will break at the first try.
- Helps solve arguments. If you enjoy table tennis but have never had a net, you may find yourself arguing about whether the ball would be out or not. No need to worry with your own net!
- Perfectly portable. You can take this set with you anywhere, and it can be enjoyed anywhere there is a table.
5. Robot STEM Toy 3 In 1 Fun Creative Set
A toy for those children who love to build construction models or who have been brought up on Lego and want something a little more complicated.
What we like about it:
- 3 toys in 1. You can create three different figures out of this set, meaning that it is more than just a one off toy – you can build one thing, then take it all apart and build two other different ones!
- Easy to construct. For even children who haven’t got used to Lego over the years, this set is easy to put together and create awesome figures.
- Encourages curiosity and creativity. Creating whole figures out of a pile of bricks is excellent for the imagination.
- Comes with a free colouring poster. As well as the three robots, your child can enjoy a free colouring poster too!
- Fully jointed figures that move at 360 degrees, making for a really good, realistic play experience.
