7 years & above
It's not easy choosing toys for "the older kids" age 7 and above. Not only are they full of curiosity, creativity, and a desire for independence, they have also started compulsory schooling which unfortunately sometimes result in less time for "play".
But "Play" is an essential part of child development, and toys can help children develop a range of skills, including creativity, problem-solving, and social skills. While the types of toys that older children may be interested in can be different than those for younger children, the importance of play does not diminish as children grow older, and "Play" is just as important and the benefits of play remain the same.
Toys can also provide a sense of comfort and familiarity for children, especially during times of stress or change. They can serve as a source of entertainment and relaxation, and can also provide an opportunity for children to spend quality time with their families and friends.
In addition, toys can serve as a way for children to explore their interests and hobbies, and can even spark a passion that they may carry with them into adulthood. For example, a child who is interested in building sets may develop a love for engineering or architecture, while a child who is interested in science kits may develop a passion for chemistry or biology.
We at Happi Bebe has curated these toys that are suitable for them. Toys for this age group should be designed to stimulate their creativity, promote their problem-solving skills, and encourage their independence. Here are some of the types of toys we recommend for children aged 7 years and above:
Building sets: Building sets such as Lego, K'NEX, and Erector sets can be great for this age group. They encourage creativity and problem-solving skills, and can help children develop spatial awareness.
Science and exploration kits: Science and exploration kits can be a great way to encourage curiosity and learning. Kits such as microscope sets, chemistry sets, and rock and mineral kits can be great for this age group.
Art and craft supplies: This is a great time to encourage creativity and self-expression. Art supplies such as markers, paints, and sketchpads, and craft sets such as jewelry-making and model kits can be great for their artistic abilities.
Board games and strategy games: Board games and strategy games can be a great way to encourage social skills and critical thinking. Games such as Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, and Risk can be great for this age group.
Sports and outdoor equipment: Getting fresh air and exercise is important for children at any age. Outdoor toys such as bicycles, roller skates, and sports equipment can be great for their physical development.
