By six, many children can read a little, follow written instructions and play imaginary games that last all afternoon. They often have a strong favourite: diggers, dragons, Minecraft or a particular film. That makes it easier to choose, because you can follow the interest.
Everything on this page has an age guide of 6 and over. There is a tractor and a camper van for vehicle fans, a unicorn café, two small Minecraft sets, Ninjago mechs, a Star Wars battle pack, and a book of funny stories for six-year-olds to read themselves or hear at bedtime. Prices were checked on 13 October 2026 and can change.

Questions people ask
What are good gifts for a 6 year old?
LEGO sets with a 6+ age guide, story books and creative kits all work well at six. Follow the child's current obsession, whether that is dragons, diggers or Minecraft.
Is Minecraft LEGO suitable for 6 year olds?
Some Minecraft sets are sold from age 6, including the two on this page. Larger sets have higher age guides, so check the box before you buy for a younger child.
Should I buy a 6 year old a book or a toy?
Both work. A book of short stories encourages reading practice, while a LEGO set keeps hands busy. The best balance is often one of each.
