Does your 7-year-old boy have strong opinions on what he likes and doesn’t like? I know mine does!
I personally have a 7 year old boy who helped create this guide and we also asked some of his friends and family members to give their input. You can be certain we’ve covered all our bases and found some kid approved gifts your 7 year old will love.
There are so many toy options out there, you’re sure to find the perfect gift for him! Whether it’s sports, Pokemon, dinosaurs, video games, whatever, I’ve got some ideas for you.

Combine his love for Legos and his love for video games! You can play Super Mario levels that you build yourself! Just make sure you get the starter course before you get any of the add-ons.

2. Hoodies
A cool hoodie will become part of your little guy’s uniform. It’s cozy, it’s easy to wear, and he’ll feel like he looks good in front of his friends.

6. Squishmallow
Boys can be rough and tumble, but they’re certainly not too tough to need a snuggle with a stuffed animal. Squishmallows are so popular with kids, he’ll love whatever size and version you give him.
7. How to Draw Book
It is so cool to start seeing the way your son can draw now that he’s older. This book will help him get a handle on drawing all kinds of different things, so his talent can grow even further.

9. Dog Man Books
Once the first Dog Man book entered our house, it was soon filled with them! As our kids began to read they loved looking at the pictures and trying to sound out words. Now that my oldest is an avid reader he devours these. Whether your 5 year old is reading or not, these cute books are a great graphic novel to introduce to your kids.
From worldwide bestselling author and artist Dav Pilkey comes Dog Man, the canine cop who's part dog, part man, and ALL HERO!

14. Watch
