If your little one is 7, then we don’t have to tell you what an incredibly special age this is. That your girl is bursting with creativity and new ideas. That she’s starting to notice the world around her in new and exciting ways. She seems to have changed so much in the past year or so, but in the best possible way. So how do you find gifts for 7-year-old girls that are as amazing as they are? We have some ideas that will hopefully encourage all of that energy, imagination, brilliance, and creativity.
Since this is the age where little girls begin to get a lot more social —like, a lot-a lot — we’ve made sure to include a lot of toys that are perfect for sharing with friends like Barbies that will encourage bonding, empathy, and, of course, fun, so that they’ll want to play with them again and again.
We love this whimsical dollhouse for 7-year-old girls on the go!

In this unique board game which is played in the dark, your 7-year-old girl is an explorer, wandering through an ancient forest at night.
