At 7 years old, kids can be difficult to shop for. As they’re growing into their unique personalities, they know what they like, but they might still be too young for some more complicated toys (and too young for their wishlist full of iPad, iPhone, AirPods, and MacBook).
Whether they’re a fashion-lover, a young foodie, or an aspiring skateboarder, we’ve put together a list of toys that will keep them entertained for hours after school and on the weekends. But fair warning — this list will have you wishing you were 7 years old again!
