Trying to find some ideas on what other boys my kids age are into. My boys are almost 7 and 4. They are into sports, monster trucks, books and board games but I want to explore what other kids their ages are playing with to get some ideas for Christmas. What does your 4 or 7 year old play with? Thanks!

What can I do next?

Mine are 4 and 6. Mostly legos, legos are their all time favorite. I'm thinking of getting them K'nex for something a little different this xmas. They use lincoln logs some, blue track for race cars, and monster trucks/transformers/spaceships.
They also really like play do and art supplies- mostly drawing. I'm getting my 6 year old a spirograph this year.

I'm surprised you didn't list legos. I think legos are great toy for the brain. I'd try to get them into it if they aren't.

sets), big bouncy balls, plastic bat & plastic baseball (easy to hit) or put

My 8 year old loves Minecraft, and there are some instructional type books that he really wants, so he can learn to build new things.

My 4 year old likes puzzles and he still likes imaginative play, like superhero actions figures, etc.

You should totally get the 4 year old legos or magnetix and the 7 year old beyblades or yugioh or a basketball.

My kids are 6-10. They are all into Pokemon cards and Kendama (wood Chinese skill toy). They got into these due to peer interests. Mine also love role play-playing school and house. So I'm getting them a wood easel (Aldi has one for $26!) and I already got a bunch of school stuff from dollar tree.
They also love minecraft. They are also getting a bunch of board games. One is diary of a wimpy kid game. And books! My older two love cartoon type books.
