Nope. iPad 2 is too old for ANYTHING, even for a 7 years old boy.
My son (7 years old too) is using my old Mini 4.
The form factor fits his small hands better than mine.
A 32 GB Air 2 could be a good choice, if you want a larger model.
Avoid any 16 GB iPad since the storage space would be too tight
