The original kid-powered Stomp Rocket has been around for a few decades, providing endless hours of physical entertainment for kids all over the world.

These foam rockets have aerodynamic wings that will allow them to soar further than the original Stomp Rocket, while also performing amazing aerial tricks like spins, turns, and rolls.

The newest generations of children are not only creative and artistic, but they are also highly individualistic and diverse in their interests. For this reason, getting them a highly specialized toy is not always a great idea. The Studio In A Box Arts & Crafts Kit on the other hand offers a number of different creative activities, from coloring to painting and sketching. Included inside the art kit are paints, brushes, deluxe colored pencils, multiple rubber erasers, and three different paper pads, each ideal for a different kind of art. The whole set comes inside a handy briefcase-style carrying box, making it possible to take art projects on-the-go.

We may have said this about other products before, but this time we really mean it: the Tactical Nerf Vest is the kind of toy that we wish we had when we were younger, because it just might have given us the advantage necessary to finally defeat our older siblings in high-octane foam-based combat. After all, that’s what Nerf is known for! This super-cool war vest comes with 30 Nerf darts and a lot of different places to put them.

If you’ve got a youngster who has ever been anywhere near a skateboard, then the chances are good that they are already a big fan of the popular Tech Deck series of finger skateboards. These fun little skateboards are just like the real thing, only a heck of a lot smaller. The real fun behind Tech Deck is the ability to modify the skateboards with new wheels, trucks, and bearings, just like the real thing. This Tech Deck Sk8 Shop comes with six different board sets … enough for a whole birthday party full of skater kids or simply a great way to start a brand new collection. For the kid who is a skate-enthusiast, this one of the best-value gifts on our list.

Your kid doesn’t have to know who Dennis the Menace is to enjoy this awesome Wooden Bear Slingshot, a great present for any 7-year old boy who has his wits about him.

As a special bonus, it also comes with a wolf-shaped whistle that can be used in case of emergency.

When it comes to foam dart blasters, there might be a lot of different toy-makers out there, but not a single one of them with the long-standing reputation of Nerf, the company that is behind the best pretend blasters and space guns of all time. The Hammershot Nerf Blaster is the latest in the company’s immensely popular Zombie Strike series, a collection of foam blasters designed to protect the city from the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. While this gun is designed to be used with Zombie Strike darts, it also works fine with Elite style Nerf darts and even the original Streamline style darts, however the accuracy and distance is best with Elite or Zombie style darts.

Don’t feel bad if you don’t know what a 3D printing pen is, because this is one of those toys that didn’t even exist until recently. Taking advantage of recent scientific breakthroughs with 3D printing, this toy emulates the biggest 3D printers with a handheld pen-style toy. This pen literally “prints” plastic from its tip which can be used to create all sorts of things. This kit comes with the molds and motors to 3D print a pair of Sumo figures that can actually battle one another, or, use the included cartridges to create whatever the imagination can come up with.

At 7 years old, you kid has a heck of an adventure on the horizon. Make sure they are prepared for every eventuality with these 22-Channel Walkie Talkies by FAYOGOO, a Chinese toy company that is offering some pretty incredible deals on electronics. Walkie Talkies are a great gift for boys because they are not only a toy, but also double as a safety device that can have serious benefits in the wilderness.

Any lover of fine toys will appreciate the Batman vs. Superman Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, but we have a feeling that your 7-year old boy is going to love them most of all. This awesome toy utilizes the same fun mechanics as classic Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, one of the first plastic fighting toys of its kind. This set also pits the Dark Knight against the Man of Steel to find out once and for all who is stronger. The big difference between this version and the classic version (also available on Amazon) is that the fighters in this version are not connected to one another vis a plastic fighting ring, so the action is more portable and more exciting than ever.

From Hasbro Gaming, the original naval combat board game BATTLESHIP is back and better than ever. Now, not only can your boy enjoy the fast-paced / turn based fun of Battleship, but now they can do it with the addition of planes, which provide a new and interesting twist to this classic game. The play style is easy to get a hold of, but can actually be quite addicting once you get a few rounds in. As a way to develop mental strategy or simply a way to kill the time, Battleship is one of the most reliable 2-player board games on the planet, and deserves a spot on any family’s game shelf.

One of the only problems with traditional pigskin footballs is that they can become quite slippery when wet. This is the problem that Nerf decided to fic with the Blitz All Conditions Football, a foam and rubber hybrid ball that lets kids toss the ball around even in the rain or snow. The outstanding durability of this little football is its biggest selling point, though the soft interior and wrap-around rubber grip are no slouches themselves. Like all Nerf products, this toy is designed to be safe, fun, and immediately engaging right out of the box.

If your family doesn’t already have a copy of Twister on the game shelf, then you need to do your whole family a favor and smash that ‘order’ button right away.

Included is the original Twister game mat, which is a series of colored circles laid out in rows. The included spinner board will tell you where to place your hand or foot.

From binary codes to secret algorithms and encrypted puzzles, the Coding & Computer Science Kit is one of the easiest ways to start you kid down a path of STEM-related learning. This is the kind of hands-on fun that will keep them engaged for hours, so it wouldn’t hurt to get more that one of these PlayZ science kits.

Although it utilizes one of the most simplistic concepts of any tabletop game, Connect 4 remains one of the most popular ways to enjoy an afternoon with a good friend. Kids who have never played before will relish the opportunity to take on their friends and family in this colorful duel of strategy and wits. The goal is to get 4 of your pieces to line up in any direction, but with the other player right there to foil your strategy, it is not always as fun as it looks. But with Connect 4, even losing can be fun, as that means you get to pull the release mechanism that sends all the plastic pieces dancing loudly across the table.

The mind of a 7-year old boy can be a lot more impressive than many of us realize. The way to bring out the best in your boys brain is by challenging it in fun and unique ways, and to this end, the DASH Coding Robot does very well.

Here we have a slightly more advanced electric ride-on toy that has more speed and adventure in its bones than any ‘normal’ ride-on toy. While the manufacturer lists this bike as “designed for ages 13 & up”, many home-reviewers have noted that its scaled down size and simple functionality work great for boys as young as 7. Your own 7 year old will appreciate the challenge of keeping balance on this awesome electric dirt bike, but because it is low enough to the ground, their legs will always be right there to keep them from tipping over. Reach speeds of up to 14 miles per hour, no pedaling required!

7 years old is about the age that most boys start wondering what it would be like to be a millionaire. Many of them are now ready to start stashing away their hard earned weekly allowance for future use. For this purpose, they’re going to need something a little stronger than a traditional piggy bank to keep sticky hands out of the pot, as it were. This Electronic Piggy Bank from HUSAN has an automatic bill counter, coin counter, and a digital readout display that can keep track of how much money has been deposited. With a password protected electronic keypad, this little safe is a great way to teach kids about saving and make them feel ownership of their own finances.

With the Fantastic Spinner Kids’ Art Set, kids can create some of the most unique and vibrant pieces of art imaginable, from greeting cards and paintings to simple experimental color doodles. It works by mounting paper inside of a kid-powered spinner. Then, kids can add squirts of their favorite color paints directly into the spinner, causing the paint to fan out in amazing ways. This toy was the winner of the Creative Child Magazine Preferred Choice Award, which is a solid indicator of how popular it has been for kids all over the country.

Our favorite STEM toys for 7 year olds are the ones that can be experienced in different ways, not to mention teach a little something about the way that the natural world works. The Fizz Pop Boom Science Kit will take your kid on an adventure through 9 “insanely cool” experiments, all of which operate from the principles of carbonation, bubbles, gas, & pressure. Bags that swell, explode, & POP, or geysers with massive blasts are just some of the experiments that are included.  From Be Amazing! Toys, the Fizz Pop Boom Science Kit will allow your boy to do just that.

We’ve got to hand it to whoever came up with the idea for the Zax Foam Throwing Axe. We didn’t think we would ever see an axe-based toy just considering how dangerous they would be, but the Zax Axe is both safe and entertaining. This toy axe can be hurled at a window or smooth surface, and if it lands just right, the suction cups will cling to the surface, holding the axe in place. The excitement of axe throwing has never really been available to kids as young as 7, so this is a great way to get them introduced to the hobby!

While it is almost a certainty that your kid has some building blocks around the house, we doubt they have anything that like this. Fractiles are a brand new toy that puts a unique spin on building toys. These 2-dinemsional magnetic tiles are designed to cling to the included art board, allowing kids to create all sorts of different patterns and designs. The Fractiles come in multiple colors and three different sizes, making it possible to create incredibly intricate and detailed mathematical patterns that you won’t want to take your eye off of. Literally millions of combinations!

Harry Potter is perhaps the highest grossing kids’ book of all time, and for good reason. These globally popular books tell the story of Harry Potter, a boy who discovers that he is actually a wizard by blood. Over the course of the series Harry and his companions work to solve mysteries, defeat evil creatures,  save the day multiple times, all while still trying to get good grades in their wizarding classes. These books have proven to be loved by kids as young as 4 and as old as 100, so you can rest assured that these books are going to be cherished for a long time to come.

The newest release from one of the hottest RC car manufactures is also one of the fastest toys on the block, and is sure to light up a smile on your boy’s face. The High Speed RC Racing Car operates off of a set of included rechargeable batteries that can reach full charge in 90 minutes, meaning that there is always some awesome playtime waiting right around the corner. The piston-grip style remote is one of the coolest parts … it has a cool ergonomic grip and manages to control the car with great precision.

We always thought that it was a shame that the children of this generation and all future generations would not get to experience the fun and excitement of the original Polaroid Cameras, those bulky and beautiful picture machines that produced a physical picture right there on the spot. Well, we’re glad to say that the magic is back with the Instax Mini Instant Camera, a device from Fujifilm that emulates the instant-developing functionality of the Polaroid but in a smaller, faster way. This little camera works by loading it with film slides that will develop slowly on their way out of the camera. More than just a novelty, kids will love capturing images with this thing.

With all the awesome toys that are available for 7-year old boys, it is a shame that there aren’t more out there that can help teach Geography, a subject which most people (our adult selves included) are sorely lacking at. The Interactive Talking World Map is an electronic play mat from Think Gizmos that lays out the world for your kid to see in all its glory. Information on 92 different countries can be played by pressing different buttons on the map, giving your kid plenty of things to learn and places to explore without ever having to leave the living room.

We are big fans of gifts that have the ability to bring families together, such as games like JENGA that can be just as entertaining for a 7-year old as it is for a 70-year old. This classic wood stacking game has had families all over the world squealing in both delight and anticipation for decades now, and the fun still hasn’t stopped. If you’ve never played Jenga, then you truly need to experience it to know the thrill. The game is played by removing wooden bricks one by one, taking turns and trying to not make the tower tip over. If the tower tips during your turn, then you lose!

Anyone who has played a round of Jenga can tell you how much fun it is, but we’re guessing that most of you out there have already had the pleasure. Now, the classic wood stacking game is available in a limited special edition that is only available on Amazon. Not only does it come inside a durable carrying case (as opposed to the regular cardboard box from the original) but that means that you don’t necessarily have to stack everything up nice and neat in order to store it. Fun with either solo play or with a big group, Jenga is one of those games that simply isn’t going anywhere soon.

If you really want to make a 7-year old’s day, week, or even entire summer vacation, you can gift them the Jump & Dunk Trampoline With Enclosure, a 12’ trampoline with a built-in basketball hoop and a protective net surrounding the jumping area. With the enclosure, this trampoline is significantly safer than a lot of other models. The enclosure frame is wrapped in soft foam, as it the circle of springs that connect the jump surface to the frame. This means that there will never be any pokes, prods, bumps, or cuts. The included basketball hoop is an awesome touch that lets kids practice their dunking like never before.

Ask any one of Santa’s elves and they will tell you, ‘the older a boy gets, the more awesome their Lego collection becomes’. By the time your kid turns 7, they probably already have a decent amount of Lego building blocks, but nothing quite as cool as the Lego Heavy Cargo Transport Kit, a 310-piece building kit that lets kids build a massive cargo-hauler truck, as well as a helicopter and trailer that can be pulled behind. Both vehicles can open up and fit Lego minifigures inside, like the included truck driver and helicopter pilot figurines.  It’s a great way to immediately upgrade your kid’s Lego collection!

The Lego CREATOR series has some of the coolest exclusive Lego parts around, including moving hinges, joints, and cool snap-on dinosaur claws that can be used for just about any imaginary creature that you kid can come up with. Or, follow the easy-to-understand illustrated instructions and you’ll end up with one of the 3 fearsome classic dinosaurs, including Triceratops, T-Rex, and Pterodactyl. The kind of creative fun that can be had with Lego truly knows no bounds, and even better, all Legos can connect with one another, meaning that every new set that you get for them becomes a valuable investment in a larger collection of fun.

If the budding artist in your family could use a little help getting started with their craft, consider gifting them the Light Up Tracing Pad from Crayola, a simple yet elegantly designed art toy that lets kids trace over hundreds of different images, either mixing & matching or re-creating entire drawings. Tracing not only helps kids learn new physical drawing techniques, but it also builds confidence in a safe space that will encourage them to be more creative on their own. The evenly lit surface means that this is great for camping, sleepovers, or inside of a blanket fort!

Here is another classic toy that has managed to not only survive through many decades of change, but has also amazingly captured an all new generation of interest with its retro design and mystical prediction powers. Go ahead, ask the Magic 8 Ball a question, and see what answers the floating oracle will provide. For 7-year old boys, this is the easiest way to seek advice from the cosmos in an easy, affordable, and entirely non-toxic way. Possible answers include “It is certain”, “Ask again later”, and the always unfortunate, “Don’t count on it.”

There is only one toy on our list that is officially designated FWO, or For Wizards Only, and we get the feeling that we should pay attention to the rule. Fortunately, it is now possible for any kid to become a Wizard of science with the Magic Science For Wizards Kit. Step one is to create your very own magic wand, utilizing science and a bunch of ‘magic’ chemicals to make something that is simultaneously dazzling and amazing. Once the magic wand is complete, use the remaining chemicals to cast magical spells and the test tube lab for fun bubbling potions.

So, your kid thinks he can POGO? Test out his skills in an entirely new way with the Maverick Pogo Stick, another great bouncing toy from Flybar. Known for their various pogo sticks, moon shoes, and other bouncy toys, Flybar is known for both quality and durability. This is one of the sturdiest pogo sticks available anywhere, and the slick grey and black design make it look that way. The experiences POGO master will appreciate the high level of tension in the jumping spring, and boys everywhere are going to love the cool lightning bolt decal.

The way we see it, if you are going to get your 7-year old a STEM related toy, then you might as well go big. Not that the Mega Fossil Dig Kit is particularly large or expensive (it is neither) but it offers a glimpse into a prehistoric world of amazing creatures and plants that have not existed for millions of years. The Mega Fossil Dig Kit uses real-world archaeological techniques to let kids uncover their very own dinosaur fossils, from brachiopods and sharks to ammonites and much more.

The newest video game system from Nintendo, the Switch has sold millions of units worldwide, and it doesn’t look like it will be slowing down any time soon. The unique thing about the Switch is that you can ‘switch’ between different gaming configurations. For instance, it can be played as a single handheld unit, or you can disconnect the controllers from the screen for motion-sensitive games. The Switch is also capable of being hooked up to your smart TV for full-size gaming.

If you’re tired of having the entire living room dismantled for one of your kids many fort building sessions, then you might want to consider getting him a personalized fort that is a little kinder on the household. The Original Air Fort was released years ago to great critical acclaim, providing a fun new twist on the pop-up kids’ tent.

It comes with a minifigure that is as stylish and hip as you would expect a Porsche owner to be, as well as a trio of traffic cones to keep people from chipping the paint job.

Let’s face it: for most of  us, the idea of putting a full 10-piece drum set anywhere in the house is an absolutely crazy idea, especially if you’re giving it to a child that doesn’t yet know how to play. The best way to encourage your child’s musical development while simultaneously preserving the peace and quiet that you have worked so hard to create is by giving them one of these Portable 4-Pad Electronic Drum Kit, a new toy by Alesis that can make awesome beats that can only be heard through headphones (though a private speaker is available for performances).
