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!

Poor service. No response from Wicked Uncle!

Extremely disappointed with Wicked Uncle. Purchased 2 pairs of light up gloves and one doesn't work at all! Contacted the company 1 weekago and haven't heard anything from them. Needless to say my grandson was extremely disappointed. He was going to wear the gloves in a musical concert. Will not not purchase from this company again. Be aware!

Great Purchase!

The game I ordered— the hamburger stacking game—arrived quickly and exceeded my expectations. The box that the game comes is is attractive and sturdy. Very nicely designed.

Awesome company to do business with!

What a great company. Lots of toys, games, etc to choose from. The toy I ordered came very quickly. I opted for gift wrapping,which is a big plus and saves me from lugging out my wrapping paper for one item. The wrapping on the package was perfect. I love doing business with Wicked Uncle.

Where has this fun uncle been all my life?

Seemless and perfect! Ordering is easy, gift wrap is great, shipping is fast! My family littles are all far away, sothis is a real help to me to be able to send great gifts. Also, your toys are so well curated and selected - if I ask for ideas a for a 5 year old boy, I get awesome and on point suggestions from you. Seriously, I am using you for all the littles now, and even some of the big “kids,” too.
