THE BEST PRESENTS FOR SIX YEAR OLD GIRLS

RED FOX HOT WATER BOTTLE COVER

£28.99

Keep your little ones warm and cosy this winter with this Eco Hot Water Bottle with Red Fox Cover. The 0.8 litre cover uses an ultra-modern, rubberless design which not only makes it easy-to-use and comfortable but eco-friendly too. The inner bottle is made from more than 90% renewable materials such as sugar cane, is PVC free, recyclable and unlike many other hot water bottles is odourless. Isn’t it seriously cute too? And the lovely people at the Hot Water Bottle Shop are giving my readers £5 off when they spend £15 using COLDCOFFEE5.

TEDDY’S TAILS BOOK

£7.99

Teddy’s Tails is a new series of children’s picture books inspired by the adventures of Teddy, a beloved family dog. The books are written in rhyme and are beautifully illustrated by Jake Biggin. The verse encourages children to experience the flow and rhythm of language whilst learning new vocabulary. It’s rare to find a child that doesn’t love stories about animals and these very gentle, simple and positive stories show the love a boy and his family have for their puppy and vice versa. Suitable for children aged 2-6 years. Teddy Versus the Underwear is new and out now and involves the mysterious disappearance of the family’s underwear… nobody suspects Teddy is hiding it. This book is funny and could help children understand problem solving.

RAINBOW HIGH DOLLS

£23.99

Six year old girls will love the Rainbow High fashion dolls with lots of fashionable surprises, particularly this one called Jewel Richie. The beautiful, fully articulated fashion doll has amazing eyelashes, a chic outfit and long hair to style! Jewel is wearing her favourite colour, emerald green, and even comes with a second stylish outfit. What’s not to love, eh?!

KINETIC SAND SWIRL N’ SURPRISE

£29.99

Let their creativity flow freely this Christmas with the Kinetic Sand. Swirl sand to magically create beautiful sand art with the Swirl N’ Surprise playset. The most hands-on approach to Kinetic Sand art play, this playset lets kids flow, swirl and stack sand with four tools and 907g of sand in red, blue, green and yellow.  They can fluff the sand and fill the sand swirler, shut the lid for mess-free play, then press down on the pump to swirl the sand around. Swirl, carve and slice again and again – it looks so much fun. My kids love playing with Kinetic Sand, it never dries out, and is relatively easy to clean up afterwards – which is a big winner for me!

POKEMON PLUSH TOYS

£15.99

Get cozy with Pokémon and the new Corduroy Plush toys. These unique 8-inch assorted plush are woven with high quality corduroy and look different from any other Pokémon plush. Their special fabric not only feels fun to touch but makes for a superior snuggle session apparently! These Select Corduroy Plush carry a Black and Silver tag and are only available in 2022. Snatch one up before they’re gone.

GIDDY UP

£18.99

If your girls are into horses, then they will love this Giddy Up game! It’s three fun games in one where you can ride Giddy Up in cross country, challenge and training. In Cross Country you place 10 command cards in an open space and then ‘Giddy Up’. When you reach the card, you do the command and gallop to the next. But how fast can you complete the track that you set? It sounds like great fun! 

NA NA NA SURPRISE TEENS DOLLS

£19.99

If you’re looking for one of the coolest Christmas presents for six year old girls you can get, well you may have just found it. Na Na Na Surprise Teens are where it’s at for young girls this Christmas. These dolls are all about the plush and glamorous with a soft spot for great fashion and hanging out with their friends. They’re ‘wild for style’ and can’t you just see it with the 28cm Rebel Dare Doll. She’s the one you don’t want to mess with and controls the guest list. She has a rock star look with tour t.shirt and faux leather skirt. Or there’s owl-inspired Samantha Smartie, who has long, red hair and printed face and clothing detail. She’s the smart one and has a cute, schoolgirl style. 

GIANT DINOSAUR FLOOR PUZZLE

£12.85

This extra large 30-piece Giant Dinosaur Floor Puzzle is totally roarsome. (I can say that, I have it!) Jigsaw fans will love the 8 special pieces in the shape of dinosaurs to slot in once they’ve made the rest of the picture. Then it’s a great talking point, they’ll want to come back to again and again. It measures 60cm x 90cm.

LEGO FRIENDS HORSE PLAYSET

£24.89

LEGO Friends is massively popular at the moment, and you can totally see why with toys such as this fabulous Horse Playset. It’s a perfect entry level to LEGO brick building and includes a cute toy horse barn and tractor, Mia the mini-doll figure, two horse figures and a rabbit. It’s definitely one of the best presents for six year old girls you can get.

So crack into your egg to meet your new plush toy, complete with matching Yolkie, 5 mini egg surprises, slime, jokes and wearable accessories like rings, stamps, bracelets and stickers. Looks pretty good to me!

Well hello cute little thing! These Squishmallows are taking the world by storm (almost) and come in all different shapes and sizes. The loveable and squeezeable plush toys look great to cuddle up to and are some of the softest and cutest cuddly toys around.

PLAYFOAM – 8 PACK

£9.74

If you’ve not seen this before, it’s definitely worth checking out. A great alternative to play doh or kinetic sand, Playfoam can be squished, sculpted and shaped into anything you can imagine. The bead-like structure helps stimulate the sense of touch, and the pliable texture is ideal for developing hand strength, fine motor skill and hand-eye co-ordination. It will only stick to itself, not to hands, hair, clothes or carpet. It doesn’t dry out so can be used time and time again and the colours can be sculpted separately or mixed together. This set includes 8 pods of four original colours and four sparkly ones. It looks great to me! 

CHRISTMAS DUVET SET

£14.99

If you’re feeling festive, why not let the kids get even more excited with this fabulous winter wonderland printed bed set. From Santa and his sleigh to reindeers and elves, this fun and festive set is the perfect way to bring the magic of Christmas into any kids’ bedroom.
