Games with an educational twist are a win for both kids and parents! Think Fun’s 2017 Toy of the Year is part brain game, part marble maze, and part STEM toy that provides 60 challenges with a range of difficulty.

This remote control car is popular with both kids and adults! The stunt car does amazing 360-degree spins, flips to drive on both sides, and tumbles up or down easily on just about any terrain. It’s got a funky, bright design that matches the car’s personality. The motor is powerful, and the remote is responsive with a good range. The vehicle is as much, if not more fun, outside in the grass and rocks, so it’s the perfect gift to encourage your little one to get outside and play!

Anytime I hear about hoverboards, I think about Back to the Future, and while this isn’t exactly the same as what Marty rode around on, it’s about as close as they come!

The rubber tires have great shock absorption and work on multiple terrains, including sand! With flashing lights, Bluetooth connectivity, and various colors to choose from, your little guy will have the time of his life flying around on this board.

What 7-year-old boy doesn’t love shooting things? (I know mine sure does!) Some bow toys may be hard for young kids to pull, which is why this bow features a comfortable handle that makes pulling the string back a breeze. It has a cool design that will entice your little guy, and the darts all have suction cups at the end to attach to the included target (or, more likely, the wall). This set comes with 20 darts, which should be more than enough to keep your little one occupied for a while, and it even includes two wrist ammo holders!

Race cars, glow-in-the-dark, and temporary tattoos combined means you can’t go wrong with this set! My son loves covering his arms with tattoos (so stylish, I know), and my favorite part is that they’re easily removed with olive oil or rubbing alcohol. You’ll get twelve sheets full of tattoos, and each one is a cool design that your little guy will love. You’ll need to activate the glow-in-the-dark under a light for five minutes before your child applies them for the best results, but they’ll still glow even if you wait. They’re easy to apply and can last up to six days.

Both my kids love any kind of tech, and this smartwatch lets my son feel like he’s all grown up. As expected, it tells the time (choose from over 55 watch faces, both digital and analog), has a calendar, and has a timer and alarm. It also allows kids to take pictures and videos, and it has a built-in Monster Detector game that’s kind of similar to Pokemon Go. You can also download more free games and watch faces from Learning Lodge. With a style that matches the Apple Watch and a comfortable wristband, your little guy will look and feel phenomenal wearing this watch.

If you don’t have room for an entire ninja course, this set of tree-climbing holds is a good replacement option. It’ll get your little guy outdoors and (safely) climbing trees, which is a favorite pastime from my childhood. They’re strong and weather and wear-resistant, so they’ll last a long time, and they’re easy to install. Plus, with ratchet straps, you don’t even have to worry about damaging your trees! These holds will help improve grip strength, balance, flexibility, and more, and they’re strong enough to hold up to 220 pounds, so everyone in the family can join in on the fun!

Let it rip! If you’ve never had a Beyblade battle, you’re missing out. During the pandemic, these little toys kept me sane. My son absolutely loves battling, and it’s something that I enjoy doing with him. This particular set comes with an arena, two launchers, two path diverters, and two Beyblade spinning toys. Each Beyblade has its own custom design and is shaped differently, giving them different advantages in the ring. Both players will launch their top at the same time to watch the two spin and collide. The first to stop spinning loses.

If the bow and arrow set we mentioned earlier seemed a little too complicated, this dart board set offers a similar type of fun in a much easier design. The darts and dartboard are magnetic, so you don’t have to worry about shooting arrows hard enough to get the suction to work. You also don’t have to worry about anyone (or your walls) getting hurt with these darts, as they don’t feature sharp points. The surface of the target is quite large, so your child is sure to be able to make (at least a few) onto the target!

Remember the days of Polaroids? No, just me? Well, this camera will bring back those memories, as it allows your child to immediately print their pictures.

There are 110+ different templates to choose from, so your child can really get creative, and it comes with enough paper to print up to 80 black-and-white images. When you run out, you can buy the KidiZoom refills or other generic brands of the same size.

Card games can bring the whole family together for some quality time, and this game was designed by a 7-year-old, so you know that your little guy is bound to love it. The instructions and gameplay are easy to understand, so you can get started pretty quickly, and games only last 10-15 minutes, so they’re short and sweet. You can play with 2-4 players, so it’s also great for siblings to entertain each other when the whole family can’t get involved.

Sword fights are prevalent in our house, which is why we love these foam swords. Not only do they look realistic and just plain cool, but they’re also made of durable polyurethane foam and plastic core that doesn’t hurt when you (inevitably) get whacked with it. One of the coolest things about these swords is that you can mix and match the parts with the other versions. Your little guy will love to wap handles, crossguards, or blades to come up with his own favorite style!

7-year-old boys are fascinated by anything remote control-operated, but a drone is taking it to a whole new level. Instead of watching their car or truck drive around, they’ll be learning to fly with this mini-drone. It’s small enough that your little guy can fly it indoors or out, and it has a one-key start or land that’s easy for kids to understand. They can even toss it into the air to launch it. It is speed adjustable and features 3D flips, auto-rotation, and circle fly, which are fun to watch. It even has a low battery alarm, so your little boy will always know when it’s time to land it.

Unfortunately, kids this age aren’t always the nicest, and your little guy may have to deal with some negative emotions and feelings. This book is filled with stories about little boys who’ve overcome obstacles, such as fear and self-doubt, and can help your child learn ways to cope, too. Making sure that your little guy is confident and believes in himself is very important, and this is a great age to start empowering your child.

When little boys start to turn into big boys, they often feel like they need more privacy (I know mine do!). This pod swing offers a private place where they can feel both comfortable and secure. The seat is cushy and soft, and they’ll even be improving their balance without knowing it! It’s easy to hang, made from 100% cotton canvas, and available in various colors.

There’s nothing better than cuddling up with a warm and cozy blanket, but 7-year-old boys may feel like they’re too grown up to need one. This realistic and ferocious dinosaur screams big kid, and, as an added bonus, it glows in the dark! My son is afraid of the dark, but he doesn’t like to admit it. Having a glow-in-the-dark blanket gives him just enough light to feel secure enough to go without a nightlight. The best part? It’s machine washable, shrink and wrinkle-resistant, and quick drying!

Does your little guy have a need for speed? This Razor Crazy Cart offers loads of fun drifting around the neighborhood or park.

You can also set it to high or low speed, depending on what you think your child can handle. It holds up to 120 pounds, so your little guy will get years of fun out of this toy. The battery lasts about 45 minutes, which is just about perfect (because otherwise, he’d never want to get off!).

If the glow-in-the-dark blanket isn’t a good option, but your little boy needs a nightlight that isn’t too cutesy or obvious, check out this dinosaur lantern. Not only does it look super cool (and not like an actual nightlight), but it’s also an arts and crafts project! Your little guy will love following the included step-by-step instructions to create his own design, and it comes with everything he’ll need to get it set up. You’ll just need to provide the batteries to power the color-changing lid, and voila! A super cool lantern to decorate your child’s room (and provide some nighttime security 😉 ).

Problem-solving skills are especially important for kids this age. Whether your little guy is dealing with a current problem or you want to prepare them for the future, this is a great book to help them handle it. The story follows a little boy who initially avoids his problem, but it only gets bigger. When he finally faces his problem, he has to take a step back and view it from a different perspective to overcome it. This book has really helped my son realize that all problems have a solution when you look hard enough; you just have to take the time to face it to figure out what that solution looks like.

Building your very own robot that actually works? Yes, please! This kit has all the pieces and instructions necessary to make twelve different models, giving your little boy plenty of opportunity to learn and explore how robots work. The coolest thing about this robot is that once it’s built, it doesn’t need any batteries or electronics to work – it’s completely solar-powered! The instructions are simple enough for your little guy to follow (mine needed very little help), and your child will be having so much fun he won’t even realize he’s learning at the same time!

While some 7-year-olds may start showering and think that baths are for little kids, these planet bath bombs might be enough to get them interested again. The set comes with eight bath bombs, each one designed to look like a different planet. If that’s not cool enough all on its own, then the fact that each one contains a magnetic planet toy inside should be enough to convince them! Not to mention they create tons of bubbles and color in the bath to make it even more fun.

Getting outside for exercise and play is essential at this age, so toys that encourage that make the perfect gift. This set of two Activ Flyers could be just the thing! These are just like the regular frisbees that you grew up with, but they’re thinner and lighter, so your child won’t hurt their fingers or hands when they throw or catch it. They fly straight and are easy to catch, even for little hands! Choose from a variety of different color options to make sure you get your child’s favorite.

You’ve probably already heard of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, and Matilda, but Roald Dahl has plenty of other books that are just as fun for kids of this age. George’s Marvelous Medicine is about a little boy who’s stuck with his horrible grandma and decides to make a medicine that’ll make her nicer. Just as with all his other books, Roald Dahl’s story takes some funny and interesting turns that are sure to keep your little guy engaged.

Get ready to be tricked when you supply your little guy with this Box of Jokes. It comes with eight different gags, including fake teeth, fake vomit, a hand buzzer, and more.

Your little guy will be having a hoot, and you’ll be laughing along with him if he manages to prank his friends or other guests.

PicassoTiles are one of my kids’ favorite building sets. Unlike other building blocks, these connect magnetically, which allows your child to be even more creative in their designs. Watch as their creations come to life in 3D! They come in various shapes and bright, attractive colors. This set comes with 60 pieces, which is enough to get started and see if your little guy takes to these as mine did. If he does, you may want to buy another set – don’t worry, they’re compatible – to expand your collection.

Right around the time your child turns 7 years old, you’ll start to hear the question why a lot. While it can get pretty annoying (believe me, I’m right there with you!), it’s actually a really great thing. It means your child is growing up and is curious about the world and how everything works. If I can give you one piece of advice – don’t ignore this! I know it’s easy to get exasperated, but use these times to really teach your child. And, if you’re not up to it, hand them this book! It’s full of 1,572 interesting facts that should keep your child entertained and satisfy their need to know why for a time.

Any 7-year-old boy will be thrilled to play with a remote control robot because it combines two really cool toys into one!
