Isle of cats is worth a look. The family mode is for ages 8+ but with some help I think a 6yo could pick it up.
the game revolves around rescuing cats onto your boat before the bad guy arrives in 5 days (rounds).
the cats are all polyomino tiles with different colours, you take turns selecting cats from the random assortment pulled from the bag each round and you score points based on their placement and grouping at the end of the game.
it's a fun tetris'y style puzzle which is simple but the "proper" version adds some extra game mechanics to give it plenty of strategy and meat on its bones when not playing with the kids.
there's also an online play version where you can remotely print out boats from a pdf and play with others by showing the game pieces on a webcam and they fill out their boats with coloured pens. works much better than you'd expect and supports any number of players.
Family Rules if you wanted to see how complicated it is:

Would Jaipur be enjoyable for a six-year-old?
Any other recommendations for this age would be much appreciated!
