What to give a child for 7 years?

Seven years is the age when the child is still so small, and, at the same time, already so big that it seems to expand the choice of options for a birthday present, but at the same time narrows it down. It is never easy to choose a present so that it is appropriate in age and liked by the birthday man, so the procedure for choosing a gift should be given a lot of time and effort.

Versatile win-win options

Of course, at the age of seven, a child can no longer just say, but will definitely remind him of what he wants to receive as a gift. Therefore, the simplest and most successful solution is to simply implement his wish. However, sometimes you do not communicate so closely with the baby, in other cases he already has everything, in the third, his wishes are so far from reality that you are not ready to fulfill them. In all three cases, the wisest thing is to try giving something that all children of this age like.

Of course, there are always exceptions, but it's worth trying this:

Toys. The 7th birthday is one of the last dates when such a gift is still appropriate. Children still like to play, but probably not a single toy will cause violent joy - the first signs that the baby is growing up appear. Therefore, when choosing a toy, give preference to those of them that would interest even you, an adult. It's easier with boys - an adult man will also like the railway, provided that it is large enough and believable. The radio-controlled car is still interesting, and the helicopter is even more so. It's a little more difficult with girls, they have only one win-win option, and this is still a doll. But then again - she must really delight in order to please the child.

Gifts for development. Educational birthday gifts are such a broad concept that literally anything can go into it. First of all, these are books, because now is the time for the first encyclopedias. In addition to typically children's dinosaurs and animals, you can connect more "adult" topics, such as travel (geography) and pirates or knights (history), as well as space (astronomy). Any board games that approximately correspond to the interests of the child will be useful. Even the famous "Monopoly" can serve as a striking example, especially since there is also a somewhat simplified version adapted for children. Even LEGO constructors or any other brands can become a gift with an eye on development.

Gifts for entertainment. Another very loose concept, a striking example of which is, for example, a dance rug, which allows you to dance, listen to music, and compete. Almost all board games - "walkers", and bingo, and toys can be safely included here. Everyone's favorite "Twister" also falls into this section - seven-year-old children can already play it with pleasure.

What can you give girls?

At seven years old, any girl already realizes herself a young lady, and this should be indulged, not prevented. Accordingly, when choosing a gift, we focus on a woman, albeit a very small one.

It is common knowledge that girls love dolls, but at the age of seven, imagination alone is not enough: the child already understands the world around him quite well, and his games require the most realistic content. Perhaps, dolls are no longer as important as the external surroundings of their everyday life: clothes, furniture and household appliances.

Progress in the production of toys has already reached the point that toy household appliances can sometimes, albeit superficially, imitate real work! You can buy such miracles either individually, individually, or as a set, but the top will be a full-fledged dollhouse with everything you need.

Another typically girly gift is a children's sewing machine. Imagine, the little ones want to be like adults so much that they are ready to inherit their hobbies, and even try to sew on their own! Of course, a toy copy does not give all the capabilities of a real machine, but it nevertheless instills certain cutting and sewing skills, and even allows you to sew simple things, such as doll clothes.

Choosing a gift for boys

It is very common for men to play in a team, and a seven-year-old son is already a very natural copy of a dad. Transport with a remote control is interesting, but you still have to play it in turn, but if you figure out how the birthday boy is interested in playing with dad or friends, everyone will be happy.

This, one way or another, suggests the idea of certain board games. Refer, for example, to the classics, and present the hero of the occasion with table football or hockey. As practice shows, such entertainment is often more attractive than even their electronic counterparts - the degree of competition live is felt much brighter. Billiards gives similar sensations.

If financial opportunities allow, surpass all possible expectations and present air hockey - this game will certainly not get bored even at the age of thirty. Do not forget about games aimed at developing strategic thinking - we are talking, first of all, about chess, but also about backgammon and checkers.

In addition, the boys are particularly curious. Give them something that will satisfy their thirst for research - it can be anything from a highly informative and interesting book to a kit for a young paleontologist that allows you to "dig up" fossil remains, and a kit for a young chemist that allows you to make real experiments. With due diligence, the kid will probably also like a microscope or a telescope.

Is it ok to give expensive gifts?

Parents and relatives, in an effort to show their love for the birthday boy, often want to give him something very expensive. Most often, modern gadgets, primarily tablets and mobile phones, act as such a gift. As there are many who want to give such a present, there are just as many of those who doubt whether such a gift will bring more harm than good.

See for yourself. On the one hand, the benefits are obvious, because a tablet, in the presence of a certain set of educational programs, can greatly contribute to the mental development of a child, and a phone, at least, allows you to track his place of stay.

On the other hand, while staying at home, a child can use the gadgets of his parents, and being outside the home he risks attracting the attention of bad people by the very fact of owning such things.

In addition, a serious problem of modern society is its excessive enthusiasm for gadgets, when virtual reality for individuals can completely replace the real world. The earlier a child falls under the influence of the virtual world, the greater the risk that he will be dragged out seriously and for a long time. Content that a toddler can access through uncontrolled Internet access is also at risk. At the same time, the modern world cannot do without gadgets.

Hence our verdict: giving gadgets at the age of seven is already possible, but you should pay special attention to how exactly the newly-made owner will use them. Parents should carefully monitor what their child does on a tablet or smartphone, and try to severely limit the amount of time they use them. Only in this case, it can be argued that the purchase was beneficial, not harmful.

Unusual gifts

Now there are so many gift options that it is not difficult to pick up something unusual. You need to make a start, of course, from the hobbies of the hero of the occasion, but now you can rest assured that you will find something that he really likes.

At the age of seven, I want to feel independent. Any hand-made things are very helpful in this. In recent years, a set for making soap has been wildly popular, as well as similar sets for the production of candles, paintings from sand, and even jewelry - beads.

However, these are all toys, and the child understands this. And you teach him something real! Fortunately, such a service is now available to everyone. Loves chocolate figurines? Let him try to make one himself! Do you like horses? Let me saddle one of them and learn how to hold onto the saddle perfectly!

Kits are also very interesting, allowing you to better understand the principles of the world around you. Take, for example, the "Young Physicist" set - seemingly an ordinary toy, but it really allows you to understand the scheme of operation of the basic physical laws, and most importantly - it does it quite naturally and interestingly, fundamentally differently from school.

An easy course in mathematics and economics is represented by the toy "My personal bank". Just imagine a piggy bank that requires a plastic card to withdraw cash.

This gadget allows you to quickly and easily teach your child the skills of planning at least his own budget, or even grow a real financial genius.

Useful things for comfort in the room

Children may have a unique idea of home comfort - they have it close to the idea of a playground or an amusement park. True, it can be cold and rainy in these places, so why not combine the best features of the house and the street at home?

You can't put some unique attractions at home, but a trampoline is a completely realizable thing. If you often have to tell children not to jump on a bed or sofa, then such a gift will also bring a generally recognized benefit - it will allow children to jump, and you will know for sure that the furniture is intact and the kids are not injured.

For children who are not alien to activity and sports, and especially for boys, a home sports wall and a small punching bag will become a relevant gift. It will allow you to quickly develop the muscles of the whole body, throw out excess energy, and most importantly, the baby will feel like a real man, worthy to wear this proud title.
