Birthday Gift for a smart 6 year old girl (lemmy.world)

Would prefer it to not be "hair" 'makeup" girlish oriented, but rather something challenging for her mind. I am her Uncle, and would like something maybe aimed at DIY outside of Lego if you know what I mean. Budget is small, maybe 39.99? Can move either way if needed

Advice, much needed as a 36 y/o male with no kids

My 6 year old son absolutely loves the Snap Circuits kits. We've also started teaching him collectable card games (Pokémon, Yu Gi Oh , etc) which challenge his reading and strategy skills. Plus great quality time activity. There are tons of Stem kits out there for less than $40.

Sent me back mentioning those snap circuits lol. Have her build the simple AM radio and watch her mind be blown OP, you won't be disappointed

Yugioh and snap kits were my faves back then, now over 20y later I'm still playing yugioh and soldering, so I'd say it was a worthy investment of my family and my free time. Problem-solving card text is probably good for understanding programming logic, too.
