My son is 6 years old. What are some popular gift ideas for this age? I bought him a couple of movies, a Wii game, a leap pad game and two stuffed animals, which he loves. He isn't really into a certain "thing," except games on the devices I mentioned. I would like to buy him a toy to play with. He has enough board games already. Any ideas that are popular would be appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I will definitely look into these ideas. :)
My son is 5 years, 3 months and asked for: inline skates, Minecraft, hot wheels, tractor with trailer and a new helicopter.
Nerf guns, outside/active toys (bike, big wheels, scooter, etc) building toys/Legos, books about things he likes.
Legos! Our son was obsessed with them when he was six.
something educational:
-magnet tiles
-kinetic sand
-I'll think of more, but if you goole these something similar on amazon or where ever might look like a good item to you for your son.
Microscope (kid one....plastic. Think it might be made by Discovery kids).
Bean bag chair for his room.
Matchbox playset. It is liked a racetrack tower. There are a few types of
these that are great.
Jake & the Neverland Pirate Ship
Velcro ball dart board
DS w/some game cartridges.
Tow truck he can pull cars/trucks around with.
Little trucks that come w/trailers.
A little indoor cardboard clubhouse (can fold & put away when not in use).
Leggos
Travel DVD player
Matchbox cars (fun, little)
Foam swords & shields
a motorhome toy
Foam small footballs
Kickball
Little kids golf set w/balls
Pirate set complete w/hat, eyepatch, treasure chest, fake jewels
Dreamlight for his room (projects lights onto their ceiling, for night before
falling asleep)
Indoor forts that you can put up & take down. Super easy. They just fold.
Super hero Mashers action figures.They come apart and you can mix and match the body parts. They're around $10 each.
Big floor jigsaw puzzles.
Imaginext castle or batman bat cave.
Costumes for dress up.
Gift certificate for Legoland admission for he and a friend..
R\C car, legos, nerf guns or beyblades
Nerf guns, Lego and action figures.
Legos - on the Lego website you can purchase bricks and shapes that they can simply build with - not the 'branded' lines like Star Wars.
Playmobil, Magnetic tiles, art supplies, zoo or museum membership (family).
My grandsons always ask for lego, lego, and more lego.
Legos is a good idea. My 6 yr. old son loves Minecraft and there's a lot to choose from in that area. R/C cars, trains - Doug and Melissa makes an incredible 100% wood train set that in nearly indestructible and fuels the imagination. We got one for our daughter at age 5 or 6 and it got used by kids I babysat and then by my son when he was old enough to play with it. Go to some fun educational toy stores for some incredible ideas.
A remote control car? A remote control robot toy? Nerf guns are popular with all the boys we know. A cool indoor electronic basket ball hoop?
My 7 year old asked for a lot of GI Joe's this year, a couple of WWE Wrestlers, some Hot Wheels, Lego's, and Nerf toys.
Hot wheels cars and track (loops and car "launchers" are the most popular in my house) are cheap, easy, and fun.
A soccer ball, a football or a basketball are all good perennial toys.
Chalktrail for Bikes is fun and unique (leaves a giant chalk line where you ride your bicycle):

Snap Circuits is educational and awesome fun:

Good luck!
My son is six and I am giving him a rocket (big gift) basketball, legos, play doh, pretend bow and arrow, books, markers and activity books and small stocking craft kits. HTH
Legos, remote control vehicles, tool sets, scooter, walkie talkies, starwars lightsavers
Both my 4 year old and 7 year old boys like Imaginext toys.
My son is into battle ship. Crafts, and legos.
A boy can't have too many Legos! Also, an indoor pop up tent lends itself to all kinds of imaginary games. The velcro stick to the wall target set is good, and my grandson loves his WWE "wrestling men" as he calls them!
