These Gifts for 6-Year-Old Boys Will Keep Them Occupied for Hours (2024)

He already has a bike, but he has a need for speed. This classic dune buggy is perfect for his age, plus it can hold up to a 120-pound driver. It comes with a 350-watt electric motor that can get him going up to 9 miles per hour. A helmet is not included, but it is strongly recommended.

These cars will provide hours of outside entertainment. Just attach the four cars to the nozzles, stomp on the end, and watch them speed off. Race with friends, two-foot it solo, or just have fun watching them go flying. There’s even a jump ramp included for stunts!

Charge up the Scoot Drone, toss it in the air, put your hand beneath it, and watch it hover. Move it around with a wave of your hand. Your 6-year-old boy will love pretending to be a wizard or a Jedi with this neat toy. And by “6-year-old boy,” we definitely mean “you, too.”

No matter who you are, you have to admit that remote control cars are awesome, and this one — which allows 360 degrees of stunts — is especially cool. Suitable for grass, pavement, or even sand, this durable car can handle anything … even a 6-year-old boy!

Like we said earlier, it’s a universal truth among children that any toy can be made at least 10 times cooler if you make it glow in the dark. The more you throw, kick, or bounce this soccer ball, the brighter it glows! Play in the backyard, at the park, or even in the pool (it’s waterproof).

Every 6-year-old is obsessed with making forts. While you can easily make them out of blankets you already have, this building set will be a great addition because they can expertly hold your sheets up to make the ultimate fort. Create an infinite amount of shapes and designs.

With two launchers, your kiddo (or your kiddo and a friend) will have a blast launching cars into the loop-de-loop track. We know what you’re thinking: With that design, won’t the cars eventually crash? Yes ... but the real question is when. Besides, crashing is half the fun!

If you sense he has a budding musical ability, lean into it by giving him this simple, 3-string guitar so he can get the hang of strumming along. Perfect for young kids, this guitar, which is made of real wood, also comes with chord flashcards and access to free video lessons on Loog's guitar app, available on iOS and Android.

In this free-for-all game, the object is simple: Three to eight players must perform all the actions on their card with another player. This will require them to shout for another player’s attention. The boisterous good fun is great for the whole family and the perfect gift for a 6-year-old boy.

This is a great game to develop logic skills and critical thinking or just to have fun on a rainy day or a long car trip. Your 6-year-old boy can ask 10 questions to figure out the answer written on the card. Can he do it? (We know he can!)

We love this bean bag chair from Big Joe because, unlike a lot of other beanbags, this one provides a little extra structure without sacrificing the cozy comfort of a typical design! It’s the perfect gift for a 6-year-old boy for gaming, reading, TV, or (just maybe) relaxing for a few minutes.

The Shashibo cube can be best described as a fidget toy that meets a puzzle. This sensory box can transform into 70 shapes with simple moves even novices can do. Once the 6-year-old makes it into a unique shape, he can be challenged with figuring out how to bring it back to a perfect square box. Choose from several patterns and color schemes.

Your 6-year-old boy will love hopping all over the neighborhood on this awesome pogo stick. Designed with deep, extra-wide footpads and easy-grip handles, your child will be able to stay balanced and enjoy hours of fun exercise.

This is the perfect gift for 6-year-old boys who know they will be paleontologists someday. Perfect for parties or for giving one at a time when he’s bored or needs an activity.

We love Lego, but maybe our favorite kind of Lego is the 3-in-1 build. This kit can build a rocket, astronaut, and spaceship, all of which are just as fun to play with as they are to build. (Go ahead: give that rocket a little swish through the air on your own. It’s so satisfying.)

This is the perfect gift for a 6-year-old boy who wants to bounce, as well as for the caregiver who likes the idea, but is worried that a bigger trampoline would be too much for them (or too big for their yard). This 7-foot design will keep kiddos 3 to 10 years old entertained and let them burn off all that energy.

It’s a helicopter! It’s a glider plane! It’s a power boat! It’s all three! With this kit, your child will be able to build three different toys using the same pieces. And since the fun of LEGO is not only in building the toys but playing with them, your 6-year-old will have hours of fun.
