6 year old boy - Birthday present ideas

Help! We have 3 birthday parties this month, all for 6 yr old boys we don't know that well. It's all princesses & babydolls at our house. Looking for ideas. Thanks!

 

Legos. Any kind, but specifically Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc.

 

Spy Gear stuff, Imaginext toys (especially the pirates and superheroes at our house), board games (Zingo, Yahtzee, any card game, Clue Jr., etc.)and any science type stuff (rock cleaning/polishing), make your own bouncy balls, nightlights, etc.

Good luck!

 

I second the Legos!

 

I've hit it big with a couple kids with Mighty Beanz!

 

My 6 year old loves his Mighty Beans!

And Zhu Zhu Battle Pets:

Another vote for Legos! They are great because you can get them for any budget. Also the Lego games are lots of fun! You build the set then play the game, then you can get creative with how you build it, and change the rules!

 

I agree with all of the above! plus my 6yr old nephew LOVES those air hog flying disks, nerf guns, if you are not good friends with the parents and don't care to be - any of that moon sand kind of stuff or silly string LOL! Carson would also be thrilled with a "credit card" aka gift card!

 

I'm going to agree on the Lego suggestion. My son loves his Legos. I really don't think you can go wrong with them for any boy that age.

 

:banana: Almost any boy 5-9 will love that.

 

Thanks! You guys are great!! We haven't heard of half of this stuff here in the Land of All Things Princess.

 

Transformers, too.
