Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best toys for 6 year old boys?

At this age, boys are starting explore their own independence and friendships become more important so toys which emphasize this growth stage are more important than ever. Building things from kits, STEM toys, and things they can use at or after school make the perfect present. We've got a great selection of tried and tested toys.

What's the average height for a 6 year old boy?

The average height for a six year old boy is around 3ft 9.5 inches. It's important to bare in mind that children's heights can vary a lot plus they go through stages of growth spurts. 

Looking for inspiration for birthday gifts for a 6 year old boy?

It's important to think about where the boy you are gifting has gotten to in their stage of development. Boys at this age are tying their own shoes, gaining coordination and getting dressed themselves. We have specifically chosen only those gifts which work best for boys this age so you can be reassured they are perfect.

What is a typical 6 year old boy like?

Six is the age when most boys start 'big kid' school. Goodbye to kindergarten, nap time, and make-believe; hello to first grade and reading, writing, and arithmetic. This transition can be scary. Six year olds crave affection and praise from parents and teachers, so be sure they feel secure at this milestone age. If kids feel supported, they'll thrive in the exciting new world of first grade. 

Six is the right age to start engaging with more sophisticated toys and games that are both fun and educational. You can't go wrong with silly science experiments, exciting engineering sets, and super cool robots! This is also the age when kids start to love rules and rituals. (Or at least just the ones they make up!) A sense of order helps soothe their anxieties and makes them feel secure in what would otherwise be a scary world. So don't be surprised if you sit down to play with him and he begins by listing everything you can and can't do!

At six, kids also start to feel a sense of 'responsibility' around the home. If a six year old has a younger sibling, he'll want to be the 'big kid' and take care of them. He may also want to help with meal preparation. If you don't want to take chances with his culinary skills (hint: he'll put ketchup on EVERYTHING), why not try cooking together? Cookbooks with kid-friendly recipes are a fun and delicious way to reinforce math and science skills. Food for thought!

Great Company!

Recovered losses!

I needed to find some gifts for my 9 year old grandson's birthday! Wicked Uncle came through with great ideas for his age group. I also needed tohave them delivered the day before his birthday as I am in Mexico and my grandson is in Colorado Springs. I paid for quicker delivery service that was to get it to him by Friday, however it did not get to him until after his birthday! Wicked Uncle not only reimbursed me for the delivery charge, but also gave back some funds for my anxiety! I will certainly;y use Wicked Uncle in the future!!! Very Happy!

A Grandparent's Source of Fun Gifts for grandchildren

Excellent. As a grandmother who has no idea what children under 10 would like and knowing that my grandchildren have stuff already,I can always find gifts the kids like and don't have at Wicked Uncle. It helps that you can put gender and age in the website's search engine, and then lots of ideas.

Would 100% purchase from them again!

The experience as a whole was amazing! I'm usually the gift card uncle so it was nice to be able to give an actualgift. They even offered to gift-wrap. I was able to be there when my nephew opened the gift and the look on his face was priceless, he immediately wanted to try out the gift even before opening the other gifts. Thank you to Wicked Uncle.

Unique gift for curious child

I ordered the NatGeo Adventure Scope - Flexible Digital Camera to Explore. My grandson is in a stem stage as it was his party's theme.I hit a home run with this one! The quality of the gift was impressive! There are other brands out there on other sites. Don't be swayed! This is the one you want! My gift was delivered on time. The package contained a unique surprise. It was a thank you note for the child to fill out and send . Very cute! My grandson got a kick out of filling it out.

Wicked Uncle is a great company

Excellent service! When there was a mixup as far as when delivery would occur, I received an e-mail AND a phone call, as Ihad not responded to the e-mail. That is going the extra mile! Gift wrapping was perfect.
