Having girls that are ages of 7, 8, and 9 years old is a great time for a mother. (And also for a grandmother, I'm guessing.)
Girls at that age are at a wonderful stage where they still like whimsical things like unicorns and mermaids ... but they're getting more sophisticated and creative.
This is the age where they adore "cute stuff" and they like to start making and designing their own things.
Even though this post has the word "toys" in the title (because, hey, that's probably what you searched for to find it), the words "kits" and "crafts" are probably more accurate.
From designing and growing their own terrarium to making charm bracelet to making string art, these gifts will let girls this age use their own hands and imagination to create things that will delight both them and their friends.
✅ Unicorn Terrarium Kit with Rainbow Fairy Lights and Paintable Figurines
Unicorn Terrarium Kit with Rainbow Fairy Lights and Paintable Figurines
This is not like some other terrariums that simply come with pre-painted figures and a small plastic jar, and all your child does it set it up.

Amazon reviewer Jordan was pleasantly surprised by how non-messy this activity was:
My six-year-old daughter got this for Christmas and has been begging for us to do it but I kept putting it off because I was concerned about the mess to clean up afterwards. I’ll be the first to admit that I was worrying over nothing.
She painted while I cooked dinner and then we worked on planting the seeds together. I think this was by far one of her favorite gifts and she has called all of her grandparents to tell them how much fun she had creating her “masterpiece” lol.

Amazon reviewer NikiNerdette was impressed by the quality and customer service:
I ordered this product for my 8 year old daughter and her best friend for a slumber party and we were blown away by the quality. We have since purchased all the other slime kits from Original Stationary, they provide exceptional customer service by answering all emailed questions, and the how-to books included in their kits are top-notch.
Everything needed comes in the box, and the box is great for storage, we now have a stack in our crafts area. Will definitely order more in the future, as you can see from the attached picture, my daughter is a slime making pro now (gloves and all)!
✅ Color Your Own Unicorn Messenger Bag
Color Your Own Unicorn Messenger Bag
The nice thing about this type of gift that it's kind of two gifts in one: you have the fun of the art project, and then you have a cool, useful messenger bag.
This bag measures 11 by 11 inches and the kit includes:
- Messenger Bag
- 5 Bright Designer Markers
- 20 Peel & Stick Sparkling Stones
This is not one of those art projects where the color washes off so that you can color it repeatedly. Color it once, then enjoy having a great bag.
Unicorns vs. Llamas Monopoly Board Game
Monopoly Unicorns vs. Llamas Board Game
This cute version of the classic board game has Team Unicorn playing against Team Llama with pastel-colored tokens. Instead of buying properties, your team claims titles like "Most Huggable," Most Charming," or "Twinkliest Eyes."
Amazon reviewer Tiffanie says this is a fun game for the entire family:
This is a really fun game. I'd say it's best for ages 7+ The were a few things that weren't explained well in the rules, but we were able to decide the rules ourselves and move on with the game.
Compared to original monopoly, game play is faster and more competitive, players are sorted into teams, and there were lots of laughs as chance cards include fun ways to get ahead or bring the opposing team down.

Personalized Dabbing Unicorn Coffee Mug with Name
Isn't this mug totally cute? And guess what -- the artwork is on both sides of the mug!

This mom even caught her 7 year old daughter sleeping with her mug!
