Adults aren’t the only ones who love getting new tech – kids do too! 6-year-olds are probably already asking to use your phone more than you do yourself. Fun electronic toys are perfect for acclimating your boy to a different style of play while beginning to reinforce new ideas like screen-time limits and active play. It’s a fun time in your boy’s life and they are sure to love every toy on this list.

Each of the options on our list is perfect for 6-year-old boys who love technology! Since monitoring screen time is important for any parent in this day and age, not every toy is digital and likely to suck your kid into a time black hole for hours. In fact, lots of our electric toys are designed to get them active! Check them out below:
