It was just yesterday that you brought him home from the hospital. At least it seems like it. But no, it has been six years and your little baby is a six year old boy. He might be reading a few small books. He is better at using his hands and can probably focus a little better than he could a year ago.
They grow up so fast but one thing that doesn’t change is that they love to play. His play habits might be largely the same in some areas but there are a lot of toys he will be able to have more fun with this year as he somehow keeps getting bigger. Here are the 30 top toys and gifts for six year old boys.
So much of what is available now couldn’t even be conceived of years ago. A perfect example is this globe from Shifu. This interactive globe tops number one on our list for top gifts for 6 year old boys.
The augmented reality interactive globe makes use of app-based augmented reality to produce an interactive learning experience perfect for any 6 year old.
He can open the interactive app on any iOS or Android device by holding it up to the globe. The screen takes over from there. Viewing the globe without the app shows a globe. Viewing the glove with the app’s view-finder shows a lot more than a normal globe.

Remote control cars are fun. Robots are fun. Transformers are fun. Ursulan thought they might just combine all three options into one amazing toy. This would be a great remote control car by itself. It would hold its own as a transformer or a robot as well. But this isn’t that simple.
