Cool Toys and Gifts for Girls Ages 6 to 8
I want to start off our gift guide for girls with a few highly-rated, unique gifts for girls. The latest toys are always on a girl’s wish list, but sometimes it’s fun to find an unexpected gift that you know they’ll love. Here’s a few gift ideas like that.
Unicorn Bathrobe
Cool New Toys for Girls
And now on to the new releases in toys for girls, along with a few favorites from recent years.
Chocolate Pen
Chocolate PenThe new Chocolate Pen from Skyrocket Toys is an upgraded version of a popular favorite. What’s not to love about writing in chocolate?
Kids can use the molds to make their creations or totally freehand it. The pen is easy to use, it even fills itself as soon as it is dipped into the melted chocolate tray.
It’s especially fun to make cute chocolate toppers for cupcakes. Aspiring bakers will love this fun toy and mom or dad might want to borrow it to dazzle the guests with creative desserts.
Age 6+
WowWee MiP Arcade Robot
WowWee MiP ArcadeWowWee brings us an update to their MiP robot toy with the MiP Arcade. He responds to touch, motion and sound and kids can command him to do different things.
What’s cool about him is he’s self-balancing and can carry small things on his tray. “Kids, mom needs a glass of wine over here!” (just kidding…) MiP plays basketball and dances, and kids can play all kinds of brain games with him via a free app.
The Toy Insider voted MiP a top holiday toy for 2020 too!
Age 6+
Rainbow Jellies
Rainbow JelliesRainbow Jellies are these cute, colorful squishy toys that kids can customize and make themselves.
Kids pick one of four molds, then a face, hair color and gel color. It’s super easy and parents love that even though it involves squishy gel, it is NOT MESSY. Score!
It’s one of the latest toys for girls and so far is a winner! (And boys who like crafts, might like it too!)
Age 6+
Purple Ladybug Decorate Your Stuff Mega Pack
Purple Ladybug PackThe young girl on your gift list will love the Purple Ladybug Sticker and Craft Mega Pack. It includes stickers, stencils, backgrounds, glitter, gems and tons more supplies for girls to decorate the heck out of their stuff.
This creative pack works on any flat, smooth surface. So that means bike helmets, mugs, water bottles, notebooks, phone cases…anything she deems in need of some bling.
What a great way to encourage free creativity in kids. It’s a super great price too.
Age 4+

furReal’s latest toys for girls (and boys!) are a mama kangaroo with joeys and a moody baby dragon with beautiful wings. Ah, what a world full of wonders we are in!

Either of these latest toys for girls will make a lovely gift for girls age 6 to 8.

Popular Toy for Girls – Hatchimals Secret Surprise
Hatchimals Secret SurpriseNope, the Hatchimals craze isn’t over. But why should it be when they keep coming out with cuter and cuter twists on the whole “life inside an egg” thing?
The Hatchimals Secret Surprise Playsets were released last year and are still very popular toys for girls age 6 to 8. These are about 5 inches high, so a little bigger than the Colleggtibles, but they are part of the Colleggtibles series.
Each level of the egg reveals a surprise collectible and accessories, plus there’s a background with stickers for kids to decorate their scene for display and play. There’s six surprise scenes to collect.
Girls still love these and they come at a great price too!
DC Super Hero Girls Dolls
Girls can create all kinds of super hero adventures with the DC Super Hero Girls Dolls. Unlike some of the other DC Super Hero dolls, most of the joints are bendable on these so they can be posed in lots of heroic stances.
These dolls are about Barbie-doll sized, at about 12″ – 13″ tall. There are a few to choose from, but below are my two favorites.
Age 6+
DC Super Hero Wonder Woman
Here are a couple more Superhero inspired gifts for girls. I especially like the Captain Marvel “What Makes A Hero” book with inspirational messages from female Marvel heroes. The messages aren’t all about “girl power” either – boys would benefit from these too!
What Makes a Hero book
Eyeclops Digital Microscope & Camera
EyeClops Microscope & CameraKids can get up close and personal with the world around them with this Eyeclops Microscope & Camera. This is really cool because it magnifies the subject up to 800x. Hello, mold in the cereal bowl that’s been in her room for a week. Eww.
Your budding researcher can can make a record of her discoveries in images or video and save them to their computer or upload them for their friends via USB cable or MicroSD card.
Parents report this is a great tool for those home science lessons too. This one is a nice gift for girls and boys that the whole family can enjoy.
Age 4+
Twisty Girlz are Popular Toys for Girls
Twisty GirlzTwisty Petz came out a couple years ago to rave reviews and are still going strong as a popular toy for girls. It’s still one of my favorites, but then… I’m a sucker for bling. 😉
New to their line are Twisty Girlz, which are twisty dolls with a cute pet. Girls can still twist these jeweled characters into bracelets or backpack charms and create a colorful look all their own.
This is such a cute toy for the price, with lots of wearable plus play value. Twisty Petz make great stocking stuffers for girls too. You can check out all of the available Twisty Petz here.
Age 4+
Botley The Coding Robot 2.0 Activity Set
Botley 2.0 Activity SetBotley 2.0 is a new and improved version of the Botley STEM toy released last year. The props included in this activity set enable kids to code Botley to interact or maneuver around them.
The nice thing about Botley 2.0 compared to other coding toys is that he does not require an app or smartphone or tablet to work. Parents and kids are really loving that!
Botley requires 5 AAA batteries, so be prepared for that. So far, parents report that he is a fun and easy way for their kids to learn coding skills. If you are looking for an educational STEM toy for a gift, This is a good one!
Age 7+

There are all kinds of newly released sets but two of my favorites are the Magic Forest bracelet (there are tons of different bracelets to choose from) and the Jewelry Box.

Juno is shy at first, but with petting and loving, she comes out of her shell and begins to use her trunk for all kinds of mischief. She reacts to touch, plays games, eats her peanut (or throws it!) and plays with her toy mouse.
Juno’s antics are adorable, as is her baby elephant voice. Kids and parents are quite taken with her and she is still a popular toy for girls and boys.
Age 5+
Hatchimals Pixies are the Cutest Toys for Girls Age 6
Hatchimals PixiesI’ve lost track of how many Hatchimals toys have been released since they first came out a couple years ago…but the Hatchimals Pixies are my FAVs so far!
Oh my gosh, these are CUTE! What’s not to love about tiny little sparkly fairies hatching from eggs?? There’s 4 different eggs and each egg hatches 1 of 2 possible pixies.
Each pixie comes with 3 mystery accessories and sits on a tiny little pixie bed. I love how the accessories all store nicely in the bottom of the egg too!
This toy for girls was a huge hit last year and are still selling well. What an adorable stocking stuffer idea!

Hatchimal Pixies Crystal Flyers
Brand new to the Hatchimal Pixies line are the Crystal Flyers. These pretty pixies actually fly about, enchanting girls and parents both. And charging is easy with an included USB cable. Yup, that’s right – no batteries!
Kids will need a little supervision with these at first, to ensure these fluttering fairies don’t crash into screens or get tangled in long hair, but overall they have great ratings and kids are enjoying them. They will be a popular Christmas toy for girls age 6 and 7.
Hatchimals Pixies Riders
Another new and popular toy for girls from Hatchimals are the Pixies Riders. I really like these because the Pixies have poseable legs so they fit right on their pet glider. Each set comes with cute accessories to discover and the box becomes a backdrop for imaginative play. There are 10 different Pixies Riders to collect!
The Barbie Care Clinic
Barbie Care Clinic VehicleThe Barbie Care Clinic came out a couple years ago and it’s still a popular toy for girls this year. When Barbie sprains her ankle from partying a little too hearty in the Dream House, she can just hobble on over to her neighborhood clinic on wheels and get all fixed up!
This thing is a cross between an ambulance and a Quick Care, with it’s working lights and siren and waiting room stocked with the latest Barbie fashion magazines.
Seriously…Mattel put all kinds of cute details in this set, right down to flowers in the gift shop and an adjustable gurney with storage.
It’s wide open for lots of imaginative play! It doesn’t come with a Barbie doll (most of these sets don’t) but you can always get the Barbie Doctor Doll to go with it.
Ages 3-7
On the topic of Barbies (because it’s one of my favorite toys!), below are a few of the newer Barbies that the 6 and 7-year-old girl on your list will love! Barbies are always popular toys for girls. (I played with mine till I was about 10!)
Barbie Spa Day
Barbie 3-in-1 DreamCamper is the Latest Toy for Girls
The brand new Barbie DreamCamper is not as bougie as her RV, but Barbie has her practical side and this modest glamper suits her just fine. It includes a pickup truck, camper, canoe and all her necessary camping gear, like a pool, rooftop bed, and smores. This playset does not come with a Barbie, but here is a Traveling Skipper doll dressed for camping.
Age 3+
Pixie Bells Toys for Girls
Pixie Belles – AuroraPixie Belles came out last year from WowWee, the makers of many popular interactive pets.
These cute little creatures dance, spin, kiss you on the cheek, and respond to pets and cuddles. Their horn lights up to let you know if they’re in a dancing mood or a nurture mood.
Their magnetic bottom makes them wearable, so kids can take them anywhere and they’re inexpensive enough that kids can get more than one and interchange those furry, colorful tails.
Age 5+

The Glamper comes with over 55 surprises and all the essentials one needs when camping, such as a pool, fashion runway, and DJ booth.
What’s super sweet about the glamper is the front detaches and is a vehicle on its own, so one of the tiny partiers can make an ice run whenever necessary. And what’s also cool is that it fits the larger O.M.G. Fashion dolls as well as the classic tiny dolls.
The updated glamper does not come with dolls though, but scroll on down to see some of the brand new LOL Surprise! dolls out this year.

Cubby The Curious Bear
furReal CubbyThe latest addition to the FurReal line of electronic pets is Cubby, The Curious Bear. This thing was plucked straight outta’ the Country Bear Jamboree ride at Knott’s Berry Farm. #NowYouKnowImOld
Not only does Cubby have the sweetest face ever, but he has over 100 sound and movement combinations to delight kids. His favorite is the peek-a-boo game.
But the thing about Cubby that parents are going to love is his sleep mode. His sensors turn off so he won’t emit any creepy middle-of-the-night noises so he’s the perfect bedtime toy. Plus, he can play soothing sounds, like ocean, lullabies and white noise to help lull that energetic little girl to sleepyland.

The thing girls are loving most about these little beauties is that you never know which one you will get.

Crayola Arctic Color Chemistry Set
Arctic Color Chemistry SetCrayola makes science more fun with their new Arctic Color Chemistry set with chilly-themed activities.

The nice thing is that, although some of the experiments require a few household items, a number of them can be done right out of the box with the included ingredients. The Color Chemistry Set they released last year was a big hit (you’ll see it in the link) so this one should be a fun science set too.

Each bracelet is packaged inside a plastic fortune cookie, which you snap open just like a real fortune cookie. Only these can actually be snapped closed and reused, which is awesome! These are blind bracelets, so opening each one and discovering which pretty bracelet they get is part of the fun of the gift.
The bracelet charms themselves are made of metal so they’ll last a long time and the cord is adjustable so girls can wear them snug to best show off all the cute designs. One container holds 4 cookies, so you get 4 bracelets for a super reasonable price.
The packaging is really cute and I love that each set comes with a paper fortune teller (remember making those by hand??) to add to the fun. This is a really cool toy for girls ages 6 to probably about 10. And there’s 50 new bracelets to collect in the Glitz and Gold Series! Hello future Christmas, Birthday and Easter gift idea!
