- Add hot water and see the unicorn tail change color.

Pros:
- The vinyl sides stretch to help toddlers climb out of the water.
- 6.5 inches of water is the right amount for kids to have fun without being too deep.
Cons:
- It takes time to empty the inflatable pool because the material is too stretchy to turn it over.
The Intex Crystal Blue Inflatable Pool has a 6.5-inch water depth that is the right amount of water for splashing fun on a hot summer’s day. It’s not too deep for your toddler but enough water to sit or play-swim in.
The inflatable pool is large enough for more than one toddler. Invite friends over for a swim or enjoy cooling off and splashing each other at a birthday party. It is a good size for water activities and water games. You could add a water slide for your toddler or their favorite water toys. If you don’t want to use it as a pool, use it as a great ball pit during the winter months. It should hold between 200-300 balls.
When your toddler has finished playing in the water, you don’t have to waste the water. Use a beaker to water a flower bed and lift the pool on one side for the water to run out on the lawn. Make sure the pool is dry before storing it.
The pool is made from vinyl. The stretchy material allows toddlers to push the sides down when they want to climb out of the pool. The stretchiness, however, makes it’s difficult to turn over when filled with water. First, remove water with a beaker before you turn it over. It is safer for kids if they can’t turn it over.
Although toddlers 2-years and older may play in the pool, it has small pieces that are deemed choking hazard for kids under 3-years of age.

When they see the unicorn bracelet and pendant necklace, the little girls are going to be ecstatic and forget about all the sweet treats. Armed with their jewelry, they are ready for some unicorn birthday fun.
The makeup bag may also be used to store the jewelry and other unicorn keepsakes. A small zip pouch inside the bag safely keeps smaller items separate from the others and avoid accidentally losing it when unzipping the bag. The larger bag that is ideal for gym clothes and other girly things has a drawstring for quick access to the content.

Sequence is a two-player board game that requires strategic and decision-making skills. The object is to create a row of five pieces while simultaneously blocking your opponent from creating their rows.
The board shows two packs of cards. Each card lies with its image face up. Each player is dealt seven cards. When it’s your turn, you select a card in your hand to play by placing a chip on one of the two options on the board. That’s where the strategy and fun start, choosing the right one that will enhance your play.
There’s always the wild card to benefit a player and have a negative impact on the opponent. The Jack can be played as any card, or you could remove an opponent’s chip from the board.
The player who scores the required number of sequences wins.

Most board games for kids are competitive – and frankly there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it’s nice for a family to have a game they work together to win, rather than against each other. This is particularly the case if you have a child that is CONSTANTLY getting beaten at games by an older sibling.
In Peaceable Kingdom, players work together as a team against the game, not each other. Besides creating a team, this allows for your 7 year old to learn to share, include others, and build up confidence for themselves and teammates. Each player is an owl that has gone out exploring at night, but now needs to get back home before the sun gets up. If all owls get home before the sun comes up, you are a winner!

As we mentioned in our outdoor trampolines review, we think this toy is a winner. Safety is a prime concern in the design of this model. It’s so important, Skywalker has made sure this model exceeds all American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) requirements.

Our Process: How We Select The Best Toys And Gifts For 7 year old girls
We spend many weeks writing all of our toy review and gift guides. We know you rely on our input, and we take that trust seriously. Our writers and editors have spent approximately 21 hours researching and testing the most popular toys for 7 year old girls that you can find on the market in December 2024.
All of this time and resources are spent to bring this toy guide to you – we’ve put in the time to make sure our recommendations are ones you can trust.
We also update these lists every day. That’s because we don’t want to provide you with toys that are no longer in-stock – a gift you can’t buy isn’t worth much to you, no matter how cool it might be. We have reviewed many more toys than we list in this guide – and many of them are good but not quite as great as the ones that made the cut.
As top toys move in and out of stock, our recommended list will change. We want this list to help you get the best toys you can for your 7 year old this Holiday season.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gifts for Seven-Year-Old Girls
What is the best gift for a seven-year-old girl?
She is no longer a toddler, but she isn’t old enough to be interested in expensive technology gadgets. Your little girl is in between, which is an excellent age for buying gifts. The best gifts for seven-year-old girls are always those that complement their interests and hobbies.
The easiest way to decide what to buy your daughter is to discern whether she is an active outdoors girl, a budding scientist, or does she prefer dolls, mermaids, princesses, dressing up, and other girly things. Some little girls have many interests; they enjoy playing outdoors, building tents, and riding bikes. They also like wearing bracelets and mommy’s shoes. The gift guide has a selection of toys that may satisfy any seven-year-old girl.
Should I buy learning toys for my daughter?
The variety of gifts for seven-year-olds girls are endless. Gifts may vary from tents and bikes for outdoors to DIY crafts to princess outfits and dolls to toys that improve reading and writing skills. Your daughter is curious and eager to learn new things. Most of the toys available for her recommended age are designed to help her learn new skills or strengthen abilities.
STEAM-related gifts inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. These types of gifts are learning toys that educate and motivate creativity and curiosity while your little girl is having fun. Science kits, coding toys, and books with exciting facts are fun STEM-based gifts that may delight your little girl.
With your child’s curiosity and eagerness to expand her horizon, any gift could be a learning toy. If she pretend-plays with her dolls, for example, she is learning how to nurture and express her emotions. Riding her bike teaches her balancing skills and gives her the courage to discover her environment. Binoculars may interest her in learning more about birds.
It’s as much fun in choosing a gift for her than the enjoyment she will get from the present.
I bought a gift that is too challenging for her. What should I do?
Kids develop at their own pace, and each child is different. If you purchased a gift for the recommended age and it is too challenging for your daughter, don’t worry. Save the gift for next year or when she can appreciate it.
Meanwhile, give her a gift that meets her needs. If it means a toy for a six-year-old, then buy it for her as a gift. When she has mastered the toy, you can re-introduce the original gift for her recommended age. By meeting your child’s need and not the milestone she is supposed to have achieved, you are giving her a gift she can enjoy. You are also building her confidence because the toys aren’t too complicated for her. You are also showing her that learning new things and accomplishing challenges are fun; she need not be afraid of challenges, competition, or new ideas.
What should I do with my daughter’s old toys?
If she is still playing with her old toys, then keep them. If she has outgrown her old toys, it is time to make room for new gifts. Cleaning up and maintaining a room tidy are challenging for most kids. Excess toys clutter the toy cupboard. The more toys she has, the more there is to put away. It’s easier to keep her room neat with fewer toys.
Remove all the birthday gifts and Christmas presents that are no longer fun for her. Take them out of her bedroom or playroom. You can store them for younger siblings or unborn children, or you can give the toys to charity or other kids who don’t have many toys. Use the opportunity to teach your little girl about giving. Have her select the toys she wants to give away. Perhaps you could visit a hospital or a charity where she can be part of the outreach of giving to less fortunate kids.
What features should I consider when buying a gift for a girl?
Irrespective of whether you’re buying a gift for a girl or boy, there are three main features to consider. The most important feature is that the gift must be fun. The primary purpose of any toy is that a child will play with the toy and have fun.
Secondly, the gift should be open-ended, without boundaries. It shouldn’t restrict your daughter’s imagination or creativity. The play tent, for example, should be a fort, a hideaway, a castle, or any other building she desires it to be.
Thirdly, the gift should be a learning toy. Some toys are designed as educational toys for the recommended age. Other toys are learning toys because of the development stage of your child. For example, a doll, crayons, or building blocks aren’t just crayons, dolls, or blocks. These gifts are your child’s imagination and creativity that comes to life in pretend-play. At this curious age, she could transform any gift into a learning toy by merely playing with the toy.
