My daughter is 6. She loves to color and draw, read, and play games (Yahtzee, Scrabble Jr., Jenga). She also loves doing gymnastic-type stuff--flips and jumps and somersaults--usually off or around the furniture...(not that this is a good thing--just letting you know about it...) She also loves music and dancing. I'd recommend lots of coloring books and crayons and/or markers, and also activity books with things like dot-to-dots and mazes, plus regular books that you can read to her or have her read to you if she's able. DVD's are good too: my daughter loves Clifford the Big Red Dog. 6 is a fun age--good luck!! :)

All little girls like to do diffrent things believe it or not. When I was 6 I liked to go outside and try and climb trees run around I could be anything I wanted to be I never needed anyone to play with but some how always had someone to play with lol. But I would probably get some kiddy games she'll like any game at all you could even make one up she'll love it and let her win lol it's really not that hard to inertan a 6 year old girl lol.

Anything that makes them feel 16! Dress ups, make up, reading, computer games, barbies!!! Heaps of stuff like that I have a girl 7 and a girl 5 (two boys 6 and 4). But she will probably want to be doing whatever you are doing!!! They like being a part of everything that is going on. And, baking is fun too!

My 6 year old niece like to play with baby dolls, color, dress up, watch cartoons, play house, have tea parties!!! Pretty much the same things all little girls like to do. Good luck. Just use your imagination. I think girls are easier to entertain then boys. I have a 6 year old boy and he gets bored way tooo fast!!

Little girls LOVE to play dress up. Have their nails painted, color, go for walks and just talk. I think little girls are easier than boys because you can keep their attention longer. Bring a package of cookies and cook cookies with her. Take two chairs, a blanket and make a tent in the middle of the living room. Do something really fun because if you do alot of fun things with them, their Mom will love you and that will mean more babysitting! Stay off the phone too, I hate it when babysitters spend a lot of time on the phone.

My 6 year old is all over the board. Here are just a few thngs she likes.
Martial Arts Classes
Baking with Mama
Crafts
Drawing
Computer games
At that age, they can tell you what they like to do. So it never hurts to ask since all kids are different.

When my daughter was six, that's when she really started becoming her own person, and wanted to choose for herself the things she preferred to do. My advice is to ask her what she likes to do ahead of time, that way you can bring something you know she'll be interested in. Plus, this is a good way to connect with her at her own level.
I've found that the majority of six year old girls like things like barbies, dress-up, coloring, and music/dance. But she could be into something completely different; her own style. Maybe she's the kind of girl who would rather go outdoors and kick a soccer ball around, rather than sit on the couch and read fairy tales...so, my advice is to ask her what she likes.

Play grown up, paint their faces and nails like the big girls, dressup, play house or tea parties in the living room or outside in the back yard, have other girlfriends over for a day time slumber party, lots of things to do ask them what they like.

Play school (get a dry-erase board) and let her be the teacher. Board games. Video games. Computer sites--Barbie.com, NickJr.com, PollyPocket.com, Bratz.com,
Playing with those dolls, barbie, polly pocket, bratz. Dressing up and doing "make-overs."
