B-day present for SD soon to be 6....suggestions?

lastchance's picture

SD5 will be 6 in November. I like to plan and budget things in advance, so I'm thinking with my next paycheck I will get her her present.

Any suggestions?

This kid loves Barbies, Littlest Pet Shop, and taking pictures. I would love to get her something along the lines of a camera but I'm not really sure of what there is out there that is age appropriate for a 6 year old. I'm also steering clear of the Barbie/Littlest Pet Shop stuff, because at the very least I would like it to be 1)Educational AND/OR 2)annoy the crap out of BM.

Past presents have included and went over well: Drum set, play-doh, finger paints, and a lite brite.

Thanks for your help!

VTech makes a great kids camera! You can take digital photos and videos and upload them easily to the computer. You can edit the photos on the camera and on the computer. And there are even a few games on it.

My son loves to make videos and upload them to facebook. We got him the camera when we was about 6. He is 9 now and still plays with it.

And it's indestructible! I can't tell you how many times that camera has been dropped.

Yes, there's actually a decent little Barbie digital camera out there as well. Inexpensive, and covers two of the "likes" on your list!

Also there is a new thing out there called Squinkies - hard to get but it seems all the kids want them - I got DDstb5 a bunch of them but now finding it hard to get anymore. Look into them - little creatures in a plastic ball and you put them in their own gumball machines and then play with them. Not too expensive.

How about Build-A-Bear? It's a great place where kids can pick out their own bears and choose their outfits, accessories, etc. Here's the site:

I got my 5-year-old cousin one for her birthday and she loves it!
