Editors Note: There are many research-based articles on the pros and cons of gender-specific toys, a topic that many parents are passionate about.

Seven year old girls = obsessed with unicorns! Beautifully designed, these three colorful chalks are perfect for budding artists. Draw magical pictures using horns in rainbow, pastel yellow, and bright sparkly gold (of course!).
- Stinky Pig Game
Gather a group of seven year old girls and wait for the giggles to explode! Push Stinky Pig's tummy to hear him sing and then roll the dice to see which way to pass him. Pass him but do it quickly -- before he randomly farts! If you are holding the soft 6'' Stinky Pig when he ‘toots’, take a token - but remember, the player with the fewest tokens wins.

My seven year old is not only into princesses, but she is into blanket forts as well! But often, I just don't have the time to create elaborate living room palaces. Enter Crazy Forts! The fantastic kit uses 25 geometrically precise plastic balls and 44 reinforced sticks to create a special hideaway. Then just drape a bed sheet or blanket over the top to finish! Easy to set up and take down again & again!

My mother loves playing boardgames with her grandkids! Often the games are too easy or too hard, but we've found this game to be just right. In this search and find game, players use their "eagle eyes" to spot an item on their card that's also on their game board. The first to ring the bell wins!
