Oh, to be a 6-year-old kid again.

At age 6, kids are always ready to play. They’re not quite new to learning, but still have so much energy to search for the answers to everything they don’t know. The most important question, however, remains up to the grown-ups in their life: What on Earth should you get them as a gift?

We’ve compiled a list below of the best toys and games for 6-year-olds. Hopefully, that big question is now answered!
