3 of the Best Toys for 7 Year Old Boys in 2016

What do you think of when you ask yourself, “what are some great toys for boys age 7?” As a writer with a knack for this kind of stuff, I am flooded with mental images of toy dinosaurs, video games, anything Star Wars related, footballs, Hot Wheels cars, and superhero everything.

So, with those possible bests in mind, I handpicked three of the most highly rated and popular toys for seven year old lads.

These toys are spunky and cool, perfect for youngsters with great imaginations. The awesome fact about this small selection is they all fit into multiple categories. Instead of a single toy being for adventure-seekers, that same toy could be for creative, adventurous, courageous kiddos with a passion for storytelling, building, and imagining.

Without further ado, these three among the best toys for 7 year old boys are the coolest.

Zoomer Dino Indominus Rex

The must-see of 2015, Jurassic World was a smash-hit worldwide. Chris Pratt played a starring role, but true dinosaur lovers came for the Indominus Rex. This big girl was a mutant creation, crossed between other dinosaurs, like the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor, and smaller animals, like Cuttle Fish and Chameleons. This made her a fierce, highly intelligent predator that movie-goers either loved or loved to hate.

This Indominus Rex is much tamer and sweeter. She is interactive with a roar that comes from the Jurassic World movie.

Remote-controlled and ready for stomping action, she stalks with the confidence of a true dinosaur, not an electronic toy.

Nintendo 3DS XL New Version

Tech-savviness is the new forte of modern kiddos.

Where we frolicked in treehouses, kids today are all about screens, social connection via interwebs, and selfies.

The new Nintendo 3DS XL boasts a few bigger, better customizations, like fast-tracked 3D effects, smoother controlled movements during gameplay, and enhanced controls. It is also accommodating to all 3DS games.

Star Wars Furbacca (Furby)

One of the most adorable and coolest Furbies ever combines the hairiness and throaty growls of Chewbacca with the chirpy cuteness of a classic Furby.

The Furbacca is a blue-eyed cutie with brown hair everywhere, a tweet beak, and wiggling ears. He growls like Chewbacca, but he talks nonsense in a sweet voice like the original Furby.

Sure, they call him a Furbacca, but I have the urge to nickname him Churby. Ha!

This is the perfect toy for Star Wars fans and interactive toy appreciators alike.

7-Year Old Boys & the Toys They Love for 2014-2015

January 2015 - Top Picks in Toys for Boys Age 7

The course of the last few years of writing has found me more in-the-know about what youngsters really love in terms of toys. This year, I have revised my top 3 list of the best toys for 7 year old boys, scouring the Internet and local stores for the newest, most exciting knickknacks and gadgets that your kids would love.

Through fairly intense research, I found and devised a top 10 of those toy favorites, and then narrowed it down to the most amazing 3.

Now, I am presenting my findings to you, dear friends and devoted readers - and without further ado, these are the best 3, most entertaining toys for your 7-year old little lads this year.

Air Hogs Zero Gravity Laser Racer RC Car

Most remote-controlled cars focus on smooth-riding across a single terrain, such as smooth asphalt or sleek concreate – but the Laser Racer is entirely unique.

While it does race across the smoothest, sleekest terrain imaginable, it can also off-road onto rougher plains with rugged, all-terrain wheels – and it doesn’t stop there.

These cars actually chase the remote-controlled lasers, defying gravity to capture the lasers anywhere, whether they are traveling upside down on a ceiling or up the walls. The Laser Racer is the end-all for remote-controlled cars this year!

Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends RC Transforming Bat Bot

Batman is a tried-and-true, classic superhero favorite from way back, and he has been the subject of thousands of toys, dozens of movies and television shows, and millions of stories. However, few have ever really take a look at his plethora of super-cool gadgets, such as the Bat Bot.

This robotic warrior is actually his Batmobile, sparking to towering life. Kids can transform the Bat Bot from automotive mode to robotic mode in a few simple shifts, and a pint-size Batman figurine is along for the ride.

LeapFrog LeapTV Educational Active Video Game System

LeapFrog has revolutionized the way we think about technology for kids, as most of us were hard-pressed to believe that educational gadgets could be a good thing. Going digital in classrooms was another GASP! moment that many are still fighting – and while I can see both views, I can also see where a brand such as LeapFrog could lead the way to positive, digital learning experiences.

Their new Active Video Game System combines exercise, classic controlling, and pointer controls with over 100 educational games, promoting imagination while helping kiddos develop a genuine love for learning an array of awesome subjects.

The Top 3 Toys For 7-Year Old Builders

Building is a classic method of play for most youngsters! I remember begging for blocks and tinker logs from a young age, because not only were they entertaining, but I imagined I could make anything.

This concept hasn't changed for children! Which is why building blocks and LEGO sets are some of the best toys for boys age 7 and up.  They're durable, easily cleaned up and stored away, and perfect for releasing your lad's inner architect.

With that said, there are 3 (in no particular order) that I have dubbed "the best of the best," as each set on the following short-list are imaginative and useful in teaching kids basic motor and coordination skills.

___________________________________

1. LEGO City Loader and Tipper

139 pieces of construction fun, this set is all about mining for gold! Miniature workers use the tipper and loader to pull crystals from a huge rock, piling into the rubble with their hatchets and timed dynamite. A warning sign goes on the outskirts of the construction site to warn passersby of the dangerous conditions, while miners work diligently in their hard helmets. Assembly is quick and easy, and kids will loads of entertainment afterwards as they dig for long-lost gems.

2. LEGO Captain America's Avenging Cycle

Captain America is battling The General and his disciple once again! In a battle for the safety of our planet, kids will structure 72 pieces into a war we can win. Featuring 3 mini-figurines, Captain America's brought his cycle along for the ride, as his nemesis relies on a fully-weaponized aircraft. There are flick missiles, a C.A. shield, and folding wings to make the Marvel fight interesting! For the laziest foot soldiers in the villainous duo, there's also a missile stand that requires a casual stance and the press of a trigger.

3. LEGO Star Wars AT-RT

For true Star Wars enthusiasts, young and not-so-young, this 222-piece set features 3 mini-figurines and a massive, buildable model of AT-RT. Yoda's here too! Little boys can ride into battle on a personalized contraption from the SW franchise in under a few hours, which is usually the time it takes to build it. The legs and arms are articulated with a wide range of movement, as well as a swiveling laser cannon and ruthless, blaster storage. Plus, assembly isn't set-in-stone, as kids can decide to take out some pieces and add new ones for a fully-customized look on a popular favorite. As our long-eared, green friend would say, "Repel Droids he must!"
