Learning Toys For 7 Year Olds
We have always been a fan of educational toys and I will list below our favorites.
Lego
Lego has been a firm favorite in our home for many years. It was a favorite when he was 7 and still continues to be a favorite now he is 12, check out the challenging Lego sets he currently builds. But for 7 year olds the Lego options are almost endless.
Play Osmo
Encourage kids to start programming from the age of 5 with Play Osmo. My son loves it because he is playing on the IPad, I as a parent love it as he is learning how to code. Grab your Osmo now.
Check out our Osmo coding starter kit review for more details. If you are wanting to start the kids programming from the age of 7 check out 20 of the best coding websites for kids.
Genius Square
If you only buy one educational toy then it should be Genius Square. This is also a great one player game that the kids can spend hours playing.
Magnetic Building Blocks
These Playmags are so bright and colorful and are a perfect way for kids to get into STEM. Get kids building with these magnetic tiles.
Chemistry Set
A perfect beginner’s chemistry set, it comes with 15 experiments and will keep kids busy for days! If you are looking for even more science kits check out our favorites.
Math Magic
Kidzlab math magic educational game includes 15 fun math tricks. A great way to have fun while learning.
Guess in 10
Guess in 10 Marvel edition is awesome for those Spider-Man fans.
Microscope
Young scientists can investigate everything from cells to crystals with power settings from 50x to 600x. The built-in light and focus help deliver bright, clear images. The kit has professionally prepared slides and everything they need to make their own specimen slides.
This is a great microscope and we love the samples that are already provided. This is a great educational gift for a child over the age of 7. It is of excellent quality, and the built-in light is a must. We tried using this on a bright day and we still needed the built-in light to see the slide.
FReNeTiC Board Game
Frenetic is our favorite educational board game. It covers science, maths, and English in one amazing fun word game. To learn more read my Frenetic game review.
Brain Box Maths
Brain Box has so many educational games, but we particularly like Brainbox Maths level 4. This is so much fun, especially for Freddie who is lots better than me at this. Although some of the questions as an adult you would know easily, for example in currency what is p short for. A lot of it is memory-based, ie. what color was the triangle?

Benefits of Educational Toys
The use of educational toys can help children learn many different skills they will need in their life such as:
- Problem-solving
- Learning how to share
- Development of fine and gross motor skills
- Creativity and imagination
- Increases a child’s IQ
- Independence
- Positive self-esteem
We have started our home education journey and we integrate educational toys into our weekly routine. Freddie loves playing and I find that he learns so much more when he is playing than when he is sitting behind a desk.
These educational toys are perfect for all children, not just for those who homeschool.
I have added 8 of the absolute best educational toys for 7 year olds that they will absolutely love playing with.
