| Hi! I'm a nanny to an awesome little girl who is turning 6 next month! I want to get her a great birthday gift, but am a bit stumped, as she already has tons of toys/books/art supplies/you name it. Any ideas or suggestions? She's into Frozen, American Girl, arts & crafts, reading, Hello Kitty, etc. My budget is $20-$30. Thanks! |

Is she into board games/card games yet? There are several (like Trouble) that have a Frozen version.

For turning 6 here are 2 crafts that little girls loved:

| Another nanny here. If she's like one of my past charges, physical gifts aren't likely to impress, because she knows she can get whatever she wants. I would suggest an outing, with one or two friends, maybe a tea party picnic at the park, either Frozen theme or with AG dolls? |
|
OP here. Thanks all for the ideas!
She does already have lots of dress up stuff but that's a great thought. As for the games, I know she has the Olaf in Trouble and Frozen Uno, but maybe not the Monopoly, I'd have to check! The crafts are good, and sometimes my go to - because I know they are something that will be used. I got her lots of crafts for Christmas so was trying to come up with something else. Thanks to the nanny poster, that's a good idea as well - her birthday party is going to be a tea party with AG dolls so that is spot on! |

My 6 y/o loves this game: http://www.bellalunatoys.com/eeboo-fairytale-spinner-game/reviews
She is also into AG dolls, and the "Tooth Fairy" got her a pair of glasses for her AG doll that she loved so much. |
| PP here. If you can order in time, you can get an Elsa dress for an AG doll on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/180503818/princess-elsa-dress-american-girl-doll |
| Magazine subscription is great. There are lots of great ones and it's nice to get mail every month. |
|
Puzzles, card games (regular deck or Uno,e tc), Goldiblox, board games etc.
Maybe tickets to a show? Like something at Imagination Stage or Glen Echo? |
|
Paper making kit
Snap Circuits |
| Japanese puzzle erasers. |
| They have American Girl crafts on Amazon that would fit into your budget. My DD is obsessed with AG and crafts and loves them. They all say 8+ but some are more simple than others. |
| You are the nanny. An employee. Why are you competing to give this rich kid a special material object? Stick with something only you can do and leave the materialism to those with the funds. |
