And yes, all the furniture you see in the image comes with the set. There’s no bait and switch going on here.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon The FurReal Friends Ricky, the Trick-Lovin’ Pup was on everyone’s gift list last year.
Is it the cuteness? Is it the 100+ sound-and-motion combinations? Is it the fact it eats food then poops it back out?
It’s probably not the last part, to be fair. But the level of interactivity in Ricky is second to none.

I can say without any concern the Nintendo Switch is hands down the best toy for 6 year old girls.
It’s pricey, but when you’re buying something your child will get literally thousands of hours out of, the price is filled with long-term value.
In terms of games, Nintendo is all about family-friendly games without the patronization.
Expect plenty of bright colors and cheerful characters.
In terms of games suitable for the age group, you can’t go wrong with Super Mario Oddysey, Pokemon Let’s Go, or Minecraft.
The Switch is currently the most popular console with kids right now. So much so, it takes up a spot on our guide to toys for 8 year old girls as well.

When you get the egg, first you need to make it hatch.
Tap the egg and Toothless taps back, his eyes will light up, and if you rock it he’ll growl.
When he’s ready to leave his cosy abode, he’ll crack his way out.

As a cheaper alternative to FurReal, this is one toy that’s worth considering.

Imagine a simplified version of Monopoly.
Gone are the well-known landmarks, and instead, are places kids can relate to. Like a pet store or burger joint.
Instead of long games, Monopoly Junior is much shorter, and fast trading means you always need to be on your toes.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon There’s going to be a few tablets on this list, so let’s start with the Amazon Fire HD.
I personally go with the Fire range for my kids for one simple reason: They’re cheap.
You never know when a kid is going to drop a tablet, so when starting out you want something that isn’t going to break the bank.
If all goes well, sure, you can always upgrade them to something more powerful later.It’s worth noting, this tablet comes with the Amazon app store pre-installed, which lacks the breadth of the Google Play Store, but still has enough of the major apps to keep kids happy.
Alternatively, there’s also the option of the All-New Fire 7 Kids Tablet, which drops a small amount of power in exchange for a lower price and a guarantee to replace the device if it ends up getting damaged.
That tablet also comes with a kiddie case that features a carry handle. As they get older and less likely to break it, you can remove the case easily and be left with a rather stylish tablet. What’s not to love?
