Gift Ideas Under $70 for 6 Year Old Girls

If you are like me, you probably have no idea what to buy that 6 year old girl in your life for the upcoming holidays. This age can be very difficult to buy for. Some little girls, this age, have very clear ideas about what gifts that they would like to have. While others, like my six year old daughter, only ask for things inappropriate for their age group. Things like makeup and nail polish are big no-nos for my household and yet that's all my 6 year oldd seems to constantly ask for. Therefore I had to go on a search to find just the right gift for my daughter. If you are stumped here are a few gift ideas, under $70, for 6 year old girls that I found during my gift search.

I'll start with the most expensive gift on my list first. The V Smile Pocket Learning System from VTech is something I'm highly considering for my daughter. This gift is a portable handheld learning game system. The V Smile Pocket Learning System can be connected straight to you television for game time at home or just used with batteries for on the go play. This gaming system combines educational games with popular characters in order to appeal to any child. There is a large variety of learning game cartridges available on the market for the V Smile Pocket Learning System. The gaming cartridge that I'm lookinga t purchasing is the V Smile Smartridge: Little Mermaid. In this game the Little Mermaid journeys through the sea while the children learn about music, counting, colors, shapes, vocabulary and much more. This gaming system is recommended for ages 4-8 years old and the Little Mermaid cartridge is recommended for ages 4-6 years old. The V Smile Pocket Learning System retails for $69.99 and the gaming cartridges retails for $19.99 each.

Next up is a new toy on the market for this year. The Fur Real Friends Cuddle Chimp from Hasbro is an electronic chimpanzee doll that can really interact with your 6 year old girl. This cute baby chimp can clap his hands, feeds on his banana bottle and will make cute baby chimp sounds. The Fur Real Friends Cuddle Chimp will even giggle when your 6 year old girl tickles him. Your child will love that this cute baby chimp will also give loving hugs. Who can resist a sweet hug from a soft furry baby chimp? The Fur Real Friends Cuddle Chimp is recommended for ages 4 and up, requires three "C" sized batteries and retails for $29.99.

Another great gift idea, under $70, for 6 year old girls is the new Little Mermaid Ariel with Shimmering Lights doll. My 6 year old girl has already started begging for this toy. This is a lovely new Ariel doll that has a clear mermaid tail that is filled with water and sparkling glitter. When you press the button on Ariel's back her tail will light up with color changing lights to create a very lovely shimmering effect. The Little Mermaid Ariel with Shimmering Lights doll will also talk and make sounds. Ariel with Shimmering Lights is recommended for ages 3 years and up and it retails for $19.99.

All of the little girls that I know love to play dress up, so the Disney Princess 23 Piece Dress Up Trunk is a wonderful gift idea for a 6 year old girl. This trunk and all of it's contents can inspire any little girl's imagination and rack up hours of enjoyment. The Disney Princess Dress Up Trunk has costumes and many accessories for your little girl to dress up like four of their favorite Disney Princesses; Cinderella, Belle, Snow White and even Sleeping Beauty. All of the clothing in the Dress Up Trunk have elastic waists and will fit up to a girls size 6X. The Disney Princess 23 Piece Dress Up Trunk is recommended for ages 3-8 years old and retails for $19.99.

Next up is the My Designer Purse Kit and the My Jewelry Box Kit. Both of these gift ideas are winners of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Toy Award. The My Designer Purse Kit is a wooden purse that has a velvet liner and wooden bead handle. The kit comes with glitter glaze, sparkling gems, paints, brushes, painting guide and much more to help your 6 year old girl design her very own unique purse. You can even purchase the My Jewelry Box Kit so that your 6 year old girl can design a matching jewelry box with her purse. The My Jewelry Box Kit is a great box for your little girl's most precious jewelry. This kit also includes the glitter glaze, sparkling gems, paints, brushes, painting guide and much more to help your 6 year old girl design her very own unique jewelry box. Both kits are recommended for ages 6-11 years old and both retail for $19.99. Beware of the small parts in both kits, which could be a potential choking hazard for children under the age of 5.

The last gift idea, under $70, for 6 year old girls would be the Doodle Bear. The Doodle Bear has been around for a little while now so you have probably seen it on television commercials or heard of it from your child while they are begging for it. With a Doodle Bear your child can color, draw or just doodle all over the bear with the special markers that come with the Doodle Bear. Once the Doodle Bear is covered in your child's drawings and they would like to do it again, you can just throw it into the washing machince to get it as clean as it was before they started. Once it's clean, your child can cover the Doodle Bear in their drawings once again. The Doodle Bear is recommended for ages 3 years and up and it retails for $11.99.

When shopping for your 6 year old girl look for things that will spark her imagination, creativity and excitement. These will help your gift be a loved gift instead of a quickly bored with gift. The gifts don't have to be outrageously expensive in order for them to be loved and enjoyed. Just look for things that you know your child would have a good time with.
