Best gifts for 6 year old boys 2020: from balance boards to blast-off toys
6 YEAR OLD boys like to be active and creative, mastering new concepts and discovering the world around them.
The best gifts for 6 year old boys will tap into their active sides – both their wild imaginations and their physical energy.
If you haven’t yet discovered the Wobbel board – it might just be the best gift for any child you know, especially a 6 year old boy.
A stylish plank of wood, a Wobbel board can be used to improve balance and strength, to play with and to curl up on.
Wobbel boards have become Instagram favourites for their stylish appearance in kids’ rooms and their sustainability credentials.
They’re also super-versatile, and can be used as tunnels and dens, pretend boats, ramps to practice football on and much more.
You can also tap into a 6 year old boy’s creative side with a stimulating toy.
A 3D puzzle can be a fun project, while an active toy like a Stomp Rocket – which sends toy missiles 100 feet high – can provide hours of indoor and outdoor fun, in good weather or bad.

2. Best gifts for 6 year old boys: Stomp Rocket Junior Glow
This kid-powered Stomp Rocket doesn’t require batteries – just a child stamping their foot down for the foam rockets to soar up to 100 feet in flight.
While this may look like sheer fun, it also serves an educational purpose, teaching 6 year old boys the basics of aerodynamics – an essential STEM concept as kids learn that everything from force and pressure to wind power can affect the rockets’ flight.
The portable toy includes four foam missiles, a launcher and it even glows in the dark, plus it can be used indoors or out.
Fans say it’s ‘excellent’, ‘absolutely brilliant’ and ‘hours of fun’.
