The Gruffalo Dobble game

Kids of this age love The Gruffalo story, and it’s often shown on TV around Christmas time too. This is surely one of those present ideas for a 6 year old girl with longevity, as she can carry on playing it right into adulthood.

The only difference between this and regular Dobble is the Gruffalo-themed images on the cards. If you’re not familiar with the game, let us tell you that it’s surprisingly addictive. One of our daughters, now aged 8, is a huge fan, and is always challenging mum or dad (or both) to a game.

All you do is look for the image on the next card that matches the one at the top of your pile. Which sounds easy – but is often far from it! The pictures are differently-sized and often pretty hard to spot.

If you don’t fancy Gruffalo Dobble, go for something else. The list includes Disney Princess, LOL Surprise, Harry Potter and many more (you can see the options by clicking the link below).

Trust us, please – you cannot go wrong with a colour-changing mermaid. The magic happens when you place the Barbie in the water, and toys that change colour in the bath are irresistible to kids of this age. Making this one of the best gifts for 6 year old girls everywhere.

The Barbie comes with a bright, rainbow-effect lower half and hair, and dipping the doll into water results in a pastel version in unicorn-like hues. This happens with the hair, the fishtail and even the bodice.
