Razor 360 Flash Rider

Tracy Snyder Molina said: This might look similar to your Big Wheel from the 1970s, but Razor has brought this three-wheeler into the 21st century by allowing it to make 360 degree spins and a spark bar! We got this for my younger son when he was 7 and it's still a huge hit with all of the neighborhood kids.

Omano JuniorScope Microscope

Erynn said: Kids at this age are so into learning how things work that a microscope will indulge their scientific passions perfectly. This microscope even comes with a book full of explanations and experiments- plus kids can prepare their own slides or view one of the few that come with the kit. Kids might need a parent to help them learn to use the microscope's settings, but then watch them take off and explore on their own!

Rocket Copters

Erynn said: These slingshot-powered rockets can shoot straight up into the sky for hours of daytime or nighttime fun. They even make a noise when they zoom through the air, and kids will love to compete and see who can shoot their rocket the highest. This is one as-seen-on-TV product that was a huge hit with our resident 7-year-old (and dad, too!).

Pajamas Onesie

Shila said: Age 7 was the magic number when we started to allow sleepovers with friends. The best gift my 7 year old received this year was her unicorn onesie with plush slippers. Among her age group, this is a sleepover must have! Kids rock these on "pajama day" at school, too.

Peaceable Kingdom All About Me Diary

At age 7, most kids can read and write and are ready to have some private thoughts recorded in a diary. Diaries are a great way for kids to express themselves, capture memories, and begin understanding and processing their feelings as they recount the events of their day. This All About Me Diary features lined pages, is thick enough to last a long time, and features a lock that adds to the appeal as 7 year olds gain more autonomy over their developing lives.
