This year, we're seeing DIY kits and craft sets rise to the top of kids' must-have lists. To put together this list of the best toys and gifts for 7-year-olds in 2023, we rounded up their top picks (plus a few perennial best-sellers and editor favorites) and grouped them by price. First, experts evaluate the safety and durability, then real 7-year-olds give their own feedback about how fun they are to use. To find the best of the best, we test all the newest and most popular toys of the year both in our Lab and at home.
That's why the Good Housekeeping Institute tests and evaluates toys throughout the year while on the hunt for our annual Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award winners. And even if you narrow it down to a specific category, there's still so much to choose. That leaves a lot of options when it comes time to get gifts for kids this age. "Making something of their specific individualized interest and customizing creations also promotes their emerging identity formation," says Rothman. Arts and crafts and DIY sets are helpful, too. "Motivation for learning and focus on friendships guides children as they become more independent from the family and begin to build their self image."įor these reasons, when it comes to toys and gifts that support this independence, she says things like board games, construction and building toys and complicated puzzles help them work on their newfound skills and feel accomplished in their own right. "Around seven years old, children are developing confidence in all areas of life through schoolwork, friends, physical activity and the arts," says Jennifer Rothman, LCSW. You've probably noticed your 7-year-old becoming a lot more independent and interested in pursuing their own passions.
