Hi Glenn All 3 of my daughters learned to solder at about 7 Years old so I would not consider 7 to be 'too young' by any means. They needed a little supervision and some encouragement to get started but did just fine. Make sure that the kid wears safety goggles and works carefully. the first kit my kids made made was the 'Drawaudio' from here
