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!

Two Thumbs way up!

I received an item that in my opinion was subpar and emailed Wicked Uncle. I was told it was one of their best sellers over thepast 5 years and the representative inquired about whether I was operating it properly. When I advised her that I had rechecked everything she’d suggested and I was still disappointed with the item and wished to return it, she issued a full refund, including shipping. Based on that kind of service I immediately bought a different item to give as a gift. Professional, and honorable service. Two thumbs way up!

The items came within a few days of ordering but I wish that I had gotten notice of delivery. The package sat in my mailbox for a few days becauseI did not realize that it had arrived.Our Response:Hello, we do send out a tracking email with each order when it ships. Perhaps it landed in your junk/spam folder?

Excellent customer service

Update to my original 1-star review below: Changing my review to 5-stars due to stellar customer service in determining what happened to my order. The mistake was onthe part of the USPS and after speaking with them, the item arrived the next day. Wicked Uncle's customer service went above and beyond to help resolve the problem. Also, the plush corgi dog is well made and currently being loved by my daughter. Thank you! -------------------------------------------- This review is not about the item because I have not received it yet. This review is concerning the shipping and delivery. I ordered an item on July 1st for a birthday July 16th. I figured this would be plenty of time for it to arrive. Unfortunately, I assumed incorrectly as it is now late in the evening of July 15th and there is still no item. Tracking shows it has been sitting in the town where it needs to be delivered for NINE DAYS. I have lost all faith it will arrive in time for her birthday, what a waste. I understand delays can happen, but it has been over 2 weeks since it was shipped - unacceptable. I will not be ordering from this company in the future no matter what the quality of the gift turns out to be.
