If youâve clicked this link, weâre going to go out on a limb and guess you have a 7-year-old boy in your life. First of all, congrats â itâs a great age, but youâve probably noticed that already. Youâre also probably struck by how much more aware theyâve become lately. Theyâre more empathic, considerate, and conversational⊠but, like, also still very much the constantly moving, high-energy dynamos weâve always known and loved.
Your little baby is still very much there, but heâs also simultaneously becoming a big kid â and a pretty cool one at that! As we said, itâs a great age, and these gifts for 7-year-old boys can make it even more enjoyable. In choosing the best gifts for 7-year-old boys, we wanted to select a variety of toys, books, and games that encourage the interests theyâve probably had for a while now â cars, dinosaurs, building sets â but will also encourage curiosity and, just maybe, new obsessions. We also made sure to pick items that will help them burn off all that magical (but also exhausting) energy.
(Youâre welcome.) As a parenting writer, mom of two, and auntie to a whole bunch of little boys, I love buying gifts for 7-year-olds. Because, in many ways, little boysâ interests donât change much over time. Not even when they become adults. Weâre still finding an end date for the âlittle boyâ stage among some of the grown men we know (itâs mostly pretty endearing), and in many ways, that can make gift-giving a little bit easier.
Sometimes, we all need to expel some energy! Weâve all felt it â whether frustration, nerves, or overzealous excitement â and so, to preserve the well-being of your 7-year-old boyâs bedroom walls or younger sibling, might we suggest this punching bag? The stand height is adjustable and it comes with gloves.
