Six is a complex age. In first grade and Kindergarten, children develop fine and gross motor skills while balancing imaginative play, collaborative play, and work-based activities.
Six-year-olds contain multitudes. They enjoy dolls, coloring, and ride-ons — and they enjoy interactive toys and tech, too. We’ve selected 30 toys to satisfy the developmental needs of the 6-year-olds in your life — and these toys are heaps of fun, too.
