27 Gifts and Toys for 7-Year-Old Girls

Talking back in English and in Furbish is only the start for the Furby DJ, which also plays games with her and runs its own music and lights.

Among the plush animals already piled on her bed, this is the one that answers when she speaks to it.

Planting comes first in the Mini Garden from Creativity for Kids, then she arranges a mermaid scene around her new plantings.

Mermaids and muddy hands come in one small project, and keeping the terrarium watered afterward gives her something to look after.

Pictionary Air drops the paper: the artist draws in midair with a light pen, and the sketch shows up on a phone or tablet screen.

This edition puts kids on one team and grown-ups on the other, which gives a quick guesser a whole living room of adults to beat.

Somewhere inside Mudpuppy's unicorn dig is a hidden find, and the only way to reach it is to scrape away a little at a time.

A patient 7-year-old can spread the work over several sittings at a newspaper-covered desk, and the reveal at the end is worth the wait.

A prehistoric railway winds under the desk for a girl who sends her toy dinosaurs on long journeys across the floor.

She likes deciding where every piece goes, and each route she lays gives her beasts somewhere to run their chases. Her finished layout stays put, ready for the next escape to pick up where the last one ended.

A girl who lends markers and glue sticks to her classmates wants her own gear sorted where she can grab it.

She tracks her own things now, so each kind gets a separate container and she spots what is running low. The marker box rides to school in her backpack, ready for whoever asks next.

Every stuffed animal in her room has a name and a job, and Snowie arrives as the one she tends herself.

Farm games are her favorite make-believe, so a lamb gives that barnyard a resident to fuss over. The shoebox pen she builds for Snowie, lined with a dish towel, sits at the center of her barnyard.

If the girl you're shopping for is starting to treat her room as her own space, this star projector puts a sky overhead.

She already decides what goes on her walls and shelves, and now the ceiling is hers too. Lights-out can stretch into a few quiet minutes of finding shapes in the stars.

Most 7-year-olds have firm views on which top goes with which skirt.

A Fashion Angels design kit puts that eye to work, mixing styles into complete outfits she invents herself. The finished looks are meant to be shared; expect a fashion show for the family.

Faces show up on everything she gets her hands on, and a pebble is an easy next canvas.

The designs she paints on these rocks glow after dark, so a grinning character can keep watch from her nightstand once the lamp clicks off.

Skillmatics Poke-in Art moves slower than coloring, since she pokes pieces into wooden princess designs section by section until each picture fills in.

Save it for a day she is in the mood for a long, quiet project.

Hally Hair pairs its gem pen with a stamper and 240 stick-on gems, plenty for spirit day and beyond.

She can manage a line of sparkle along her own part in the mirror, while a braid at the back goes quicker with you holding the pen.

Steady hands get a real job with Maped Creativ Sticker'Art, where small stickers matched to numbered spots slowly build animal pictures in a folded-paper style.

The animal only shows itself near the end, so there is a reason to keep going. When the last piece goes down, she can write her name in the corner and tape it to the fridge.

After a zoo trip, the markings she remembers from the enclosures can end up on a cardboard animal she assembles herself.

The shape goes together first, then her paints and brush take over, and every inch of the finished animal is her own work.

Give this cat diary to a girl who has started shutting her bedroom door.

The little lock won't stop a determined snoop, but it keeps casual readers out, and the pages have room for daily notes, lists and whatever else she wants to keep to herself.

The unicorn on the Just My Style messenger bag comes as a printed outline, and every color on it is her call.

Once it's finished, her artwork rides to school on her shoulder. A fresh pack of markers alongside gets the coloring started the day it's opened.

Crayola Ultra Clean Washable markers are made for an artist who leaves doodles on every scrap of paper she can find.

She picks her own colors for every sky and cat, and a box of her own means no borrowing. The open box sits on the kitchen table beside her latest pile of doodles.

On Sunday at the kitchen table, a Disney fan who knows every heroine's gown by heart gets to make those gowns shimmer.

She has firm opinions on every tiara and sleeve, so adding the sparkle by hand beats coloring in a plain outline. The finished heroine ends up taped beside her bedroom mirror.

Ask her where the lost TV remote ended up and she can usually point straight to it.

That knack for hiding spots carries into Ravensburger's Enchanted Forest, a treasure hunt won by remembering what is hidden where. A game fits nicely into a rainy weekend afternoon.

Ten is the target in I Sea 10 Math, and each turn sends players hunting for numbers that add up to it.

Plenty of second graders work on exactly those sums at school; a quick game with a parent before the pizza arrives is the same adding, only with a winner.

Is she still firming up her early reading?

Then Sight Word Stomp fits; a confident reader is probably beyond it. Players read a word aloud and stomp to claim it first, so practice turns into a noisy race against whoever she can recruit.

A group of Disney princesses wraps around the Tervis tumbler, so a princess fan never has to ask which cup is hers.

Insulated double walls keep her milk cold through a slow breakfast, and cocoa stays warm.

This helmet waits by the front door for a scooter rider who heads out the moment homework is done.

She switches between wheels often, from skates to a friend's skateboard, and the same lid goes on for each. Her name, written in marker inside, keeps it apart from the rest of the family's gear.
