Toys for a 7 year old

6 replies

My daughter has asked for a shopping trolley, and ironing board set and a tool bench for her birthday.
Everything I look at says 3 plus but she's already taller than average. This men and all the items I can find are too small.
Any ideas lovely people on where I can get role-playing toys for an older child?

Look at Great Little Trading Company
Years ago I bought my eldest grandson a wooden tea trolley and bits to go with it
Over the years it has been handed down and new foods and appliances added. Think kettle, toaster, tea shop, tea set etc, all wooden
My youngest grandson is 6 now and theyball still love to play with it all

My 6 year old has just started really enjoying magnatiles. They were bought for her 3yo sister but the 6 year old is now able to build proper things with them, and has been doing so every day for a week now. They are currently a multi-storey hotel with happyland people and furniture.

For a 7 year old get proper tools, go for the lighter, smaller versions. A DIY shop should be able to give advice. Pebaro, .melissa & Doug, small foot and Howa do a solid wood 6+ sized work bench.

So it’s role play but in a different way. She dreamt about being a builder last night apparently!

I'm getting proper tools and some balsa wood and other bits for my 7yo dd and her sister for Christmas. I've order the Clas Ohlson kid's tool kit.

The Leomark Young carpenter wooden workbench is probably tall enough. It comes with a good set of tools as well.

For an ironing board set, it’s probably worth getting a cheap normal ironing board which has quite a short setting (several ironing boards can be set up low enough for people to sit at whilst they iron). You could then get the Murphy Richards or Bosch toy iron separately.
