I first put this list of gifts for 7 year old girls together when Kaitlyn was 7, and I was so excited about it because it fits a variety of personalities! How do I know? Because Kaitlyn embodied a variety of personalities herself. At 7 she equally loved sparring in Tae Kwon Do, making potions and telling everyone she wanted to be a “spa person” when she grew up.

It’s a mix of things we owned and loved and things that were on her wish list. I’ve kept the list updated over the years so every link points to something you can actually buy today. I hope it’s helpful for your holiday and birthday shopping!

The Best Gifts for 7 Year Old Girls

Building and STEM Gifts for 7 Year Old Girls

LEGO Friends Friendship Tree House Hangout

There is something about the process and accomplishment that comes along with LEGO sets that keeps them always on my gift guides. This tree house set is fun to build and fun to play with afterwards, which makes it a great pick for this age.

Squishy Human Body

A perfect fit for the kid interested in the human body. Kaitlyn rattled off body facts constantly, and this squishy body allows for hands-on learning in a delightfully squeamish way your child will love!

HEXBUG BattleBots Arena Set

Magnetized and snap-together pieces fly off on impact as these mini remote control bots take each other on in battle! HEXBUG BattleBots created hours of fun for my girls as they battled it out in different “arenas” (under the table, on the stairs, etc). This set comes with two bots and an arena of its own.

Snap Circuits R/C Snap Rover

For the space-obsessed kid, she can build her own remote control rover! The parts snap together without any tools, so it’s a fun first taste of electronics. It’s labeled for ages 8+, so a 7-year-old may need a little help from you. It’s always smart to check age labels (the AAP has good tips on buying safe toys).

Science and Potion Kits

If you have a potion maker like I did, science kits are a perfect fit. They’re engaging and consumable, so they make great gifts for 7 year old girls without adding to the toy clutter.

Magic Science for Wizards Only Kit

If you have a potion-loving child, this simple but fun science kit is for you! They’ll make potions that change color and even assemble their own magic wand.

National Geographic Science Magic Kit

My kids both loved this kit. It has a variety of activities included, but the magic gloves that can hold bubbles you blow out of a magic wand were their favorite.

Spa and Dress Up Gifts for 7 Year Old Girls

Soap and Bath Bomb Making Kit

For the spa-loving kid, this kit combines science with pampering. She can mix up her own soaps and bath bombs, and it’s a fun one to do together on a rainy afternoon.

Unicorn Bath Bombs with Hidden Surprise

The only thing better than a whimsical bath bomb is a bath bomb with a hidden surprise! There will be no arguing about getting in the tub when this kind of fun awaits.

Klee Kids Natural Play Makeup Kit

Some play makeup is full of all kinds of questionable ingredients, but Klee makes colorful and gentle options for kids to enjoy playing dress up with.

Clip-In Colored Hair Extensions

These are a fun option for adding a splash of hair color without any chemicals. They clip in and are super long, so you can cut them to your desired length. A fun way for a child to express her personality and add some fun to spirit days and holiday dress up!

Creative and Cozy Gifts

Not every gift has to be a toy. Some of the best gifts for 7 year old girls make her space feel special or give her something fun to make and share.

Light-Up Bed Canopy

This canopy will transform her bedroom into a magical space. We secured it over a nook with pillows in Kaitlyn’s room to create a cozy and whimsical spot for reading or writing. The attached stars glow well after absorbing the overhead light, too!

Friendship Bracelet Maker

A childhood staple activity! This kit makes storing and holding the string simple (no tape necessary), so they are free to create jewelry to wear and share.

Our Generation 18-Inch Doll

This more affordable version of the popular American Girl dolls is a hit thanks to the quality for the price and the number of accessories that come with it and are available separately (great combo gifts). These dolls encourage hours of creative play!

Books and Games for 7 Year Olds

Adventure Girls! Crafts and Activities Book

I’ve shared this find before because it’s a gold mine for the active, curious, outdoorsy girl. Full of experiments, crafts, outdoor skills, construction, gardening, active play and so much more, this will keep them busy for hours!

Sleeping Queens Card Game

We are game aficionados around here (see also: the best board games for your family), and every time I bring up our favorites, at least a dozen people tell me we have to try Sleeping Queens. It’s a fun way to get extra addition practice, and it’s fun for the whole family!

Seven is also a great age for chapter books. Here are our favorite chapter book series for 7 year olds if you want to tuck a few under the tree.

Gifts for 7 Year Old Girls: Common Questions

What are good gifts for 7 year old girls?

The best gifts for this age let her build, create or explore. A LEGO set, a science kit, a spa kit or a family card game are all great picks. Seven-year-olds also love anything that lets them show off their personality, like hair extensions or a cozy spot in their room.

What do 7 year olds like to do?

Most 7-year-olds love hands-on projects, simple games with real rules, pretend play and reading on their own. Look for gifts that keep them busy without a screen and that they can do with a friend or sibling.

Shopping for a different age? I also have gift guides for 6 year old girls and 8 year old girls, plus a list of stocking stuffers for girls ages 6-10.
