I need some gift ideas for my boyfriend's little sister. She's turning 6 next week and I want to get her something that she will absolutely love! She's been talking to me about her birthday for months now and she's super excited. She likes barbies and other toys but not as much as she loves other grown up stuff. She hates it when someone calls her a kid. So I wanted to get her something that is for kids but also makes her feel kind of "older". She's been wanting to see my friends so I have already decided to take her out on her birthday so she can meet my friends and cut a cake. But I'm still not sure about the gift. She loves gifts so there has to be a gift! Any ideas would be appreciated!
P.S. In the past, I've bought her barbies, dresses and colouring books etc. She loved them all. She also likes hannah montana. I don't want to get her make up or anything like that because my boyfriend thinks she's too young to be wearing any make up.

when i had a 6 yr old sister she was like that too. i would get her a chirley temple from the restaurant that you go too. tell her its a special grown up thing. u and ur friends need to get it too. ask for extra cherrys for her too. it makes them feel special. HOPE I COULD HELP! P.S. idk if i spelled chirley temple right but its basically cherry 7up. Check out my blog at http://limegreenflipflops.blog.com/ tell me what i can doo better! thx!

Answer
Hi: I raised three kids, two girls and one boy. I gave my kids bday parties until age 11- or 12. some fun things for boy parties; think of a theme. Your 6 year old has a favorite sport, cartoon or interest area. Educational themes, verses commercial themes were a favorite of mine. A dollar store or party store in your home town can also be an idea builder. Little boys almost always like dinosausors. For example sake, lets use dinosauors. Plan several activities to keep the party moving. Set a time limit, an hour and a half with 6 little boys can be exhausting, (unless it is like a family barbacue also). Plan an agenda, and it will help you and the kids have a good time. Start the party with an opening activity: free play: in a yard or park with swing set is nice, or playdough at a table, if you must be inside. Once all the guests have arrived get the party going with the first group activity. Kids this age ususally know the drill with what to expect with party games. I was amazed that my 13 year old daughter still wanted to play "drop the clothes pins" in the jar at her bday party. Then move to the next game, toss across, pin the tail on the dinosaur (they seem to love the blind fold), freeze tag. ASk your six year old to help plan his favorite games. Play 3 games then move to the song, blow out the candels, cake and ice cream. 6 yr. old boys are active so cake can turn into a food fight, so keep this short. If they are playing in it, its time for clean up. if you are out side a bucket full of water and paper towell can be a quick fix for sticky hands.
Then move to another game, since they have an overwhellming amount of energy, try an active game of tag, or short 2 on two races, or let them play if they are at the park or back yard. Boys love squirt guns in the summer. Use caution, it seems that there is always one kid in the bunch that is too rough, and someone gets hurt. Kids this age are conditioned to a school bell ringing, so ringing a bell can be very effective when it is time to change activities. Also, a good way to get kids attention is to tell them something like, "I need your eyes up here", or "let me see your eyes". It is a good idea to always communicate 100 times; what the next activity will be, what the plan is, and what you want in behavior, (ie: I want everyone sitting down for cake) Name tags can help tremendously call kids by name. Compliment the kids that are corroperating. (ie: suzie is sitting nicely and ready for cake).Open the gifts if you think the boys can hang in there with a sitting down time. If they are too active, it can be alot to ask little boys to sit still while someone else gets toys. If you are inside, think about having some legos, books, available for the fitgeting ones to have something quiet to do in the back of the room. Let the bday boy give the goody bags as the kids leave. It is a good way to get out of any complaining from kids, (ie: hey, its not fair they have a bigger bag than I do)
