At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
We all know the familiar holding-your-breath feeling whilst you wait for a child to open their present that you spent weeks searching for: will they like it?
Admittedly, trying to find the best gifts for girls and boys can be a challenge. Whether it's an upcoming birthday, Christmas or another celebration, you want to make sure that you find a gift that will be excitedly unwrapped and will be well-loved.
Seven is an in-between age when they are no longer a young child and may be beginning to look for more independence and freedom. Their problem-solving skills will be developing as will their spatial awareness, so toys that give them a sense of accomplishment and help them build and create will support their development. Taking all this into account, how do you satisfy their hunger to play, discover and learn with the right presents for boys and presents for girls aged seven?
For birthday present ideas, why not consider their existing interests and toys is a helpful place to begin: do they prefer outdoor activities playing with garden toys to indoor? Are they a budding artist always painting on their easel or more of a reader? Do they love traditionally girls toys or boys toys?
To help you make the right choice, we've rounded up the best birthday presents for seven-years-old boys and girls that they'll be delighted to receive.
The Micro Scooter is a classic for a reason: it is the ultimate sidekick for kids who are beginning to find their feet on two wheels. The scooter gives them freedom to go fast and steer like a bike whilst the fully foldable mechanism makes it the ideal travelling companion. It has adjustable handles too, making it a toy that'll stick around for years.
Kids will love the chance to test their family and friends with this book of riddles and puzzles, whilst expanding their own reasoning skills and ability to learn. This book, with over 300 riddles, is great value for money too.
Know a 7-year-old that loves to snack? This lovely enamel-coated bowl can be personalised with your chosen wording and their name; a thoughtful way of ensuring they always have easy access to their favourite treats. Personalised gifts for kids will always be appreciated.
This illustrated pillow will give kids a world of fun at their fingertips. With a design featuring fun facts, animals and landmarks, there is lots to colour in with the fabric pens (that wash out in a warm cycle) whilst encouraging kids' fine motor skills in the process.
Help children help the environment with these brightly coloured, stainless steel bottles that will keep their liquids cool for up to 12 hours and remind them to drink water throughout the day. The lovely mini size makes it easier for them to carry, too.
A slide is a classic-toy for any back garden, and a 7-year-old is sure to love this nine-foot long chute that has a water-sprinkle feature to make the ride more fun. This is a gift that is sure to make their garden the place-to-be.
Encouraging a 7-year old to enjoy immersive and imaginative outdoor play is easy with this kit that has everything they need for an outdoor adventure. It comes in a handy cotton bag and includes a wooden mallet, waterproof tarpaulin and groundsheet and other supplies to create hours of down-to-earth fun.
A 7-year-old will love the chance to shoot fun photos and videos whilst they splash around or play outside with this popular Drograce waterproof camera. It has a five megapixel camera, seven colour-video modes, digital zoom and lots more to help kids record their favourite moments.
For avid readers, the Kindle Kids Edition, that can store hundreds of books and has weeks of battery life, is a great option for home and travelling. The reader comes with a year of Amazon Kids+ which has thousands of popular books (such as the complete Harry Potter series) and a backlit display that allows for reading in the dark.
Rock painting is a fun alternative to painting on paper and promotes kids motor skills. Kids can paint designs that they can gift to friends whilst the kit comes with water-resistant paint meaning the works of art can be left outdoors. 7-year-old girls and boys will love this creative kit.
Documenting their lives is a lovely way for 7-year-old girls and boys to work out what their likes and dislikes are and to create something that they can keep forever. This diary is a beautifully-designed book with lots of 'fill in the blanks' for them to chart, dream and draw all the things that they love.
A fun and educational game, Bug Bingo is a way for kids to test their knowledge and learn about the names and colourings of bugs from all over the world.
Kids that like to explore outside will love these binoculars. With 8x magnification, they allow animals and nature that are far away to appear as if they were close up, making them the perfect tool for enhancing their adventures.
Flik Flak are expert children's watch makers and have a design to suit every child. We love the stripy colours and clear face on this one that make telling the time, and looking cool, a breeze. It makes a great gift for a 7-year old-girl or boy.
Kids are sure to be up to date on all the latest games, and the award-winning Roblox is one of those, allowing kids to exist in a virtual universe where they can play and create. These characters from Roblox game Jailbreak are sure to be a treat for them to receive. We think this is one of the best toys for 7-year-old boys and girls alike.
