At 7 years old, most boys display a new curiosity and unwavering quest for knowledge.
They’re out of the “why” stage in life, and have now arrived at the “how and where” stage.
Where does this come from? How does this work?
Seven year old boys are natural explorers. They’re little analysts and scientists. And, now more than ever, a seven year old is confident in expressing his knowledge. He’s gained a sense of pride with every tidbit he’s learned in school or through his daily explorations.
At the age of seven, he’s become comfortable in his skin, with his friendships, and is now better at playing and conversing with others, as well as playing by himself, if the mood strikes him in that way.
As your little boy grows and matures, so will the need for more advanced toys. You want him to continue to grow, continue to ask “how” and “where”, and continue to explore the world around him.
Here are the 30 top toys and gifts for seven year old boys.
