By the time kids are 7 years old, you likely have a handle on their interests, whether they’re into art, STEM, sports or some combination of everything. That helps with the first step of finding the best toys and gifts for 7-year-old boys. The question remains, though: Once you’ve narrowed down your gift idea to area of interest, how do you make sure you find the best toys and gifts? You want something that your kids will play with, that will last through lots of hours of playtime and that won’t drive you nuts.
Every year, the Good Housekeeping Institute tests hundreds of toys in order to find the best gifts for kids and releases the results in its annual Good Housekeeping Institute Toy Awards. Our lab experts evaluate the most promising ones for factors like safety and quality, and then we bring in real kids to test them all out — all to help you know which ones are actually worth buying for own kids this holiday season. Don’t forget to check out Good Housekeeping’s toy gift guides for best toys for every age, from toys for 1-year-olds and 2-year-olds all the way up to teen gifts, including toys for 6-year-old boys, 7-year-old girls and 8-year-old boys.
