7-Year-Olds
Activities for 7-year-olds.
Seven is the age of getting into things: collecting, sorting, organising, making a club, keeping a notebook, becoming briefly and intensely expert in one subject.
Activities can have several steps and a genuine difficulty to them. Simplifying too far is the usual mistake — a seven-year-old given something obviously easy will say so.
This is also a good age for making things for other people: cards, presents, a game to teach a younger sibling.
