I think extra curriculiars before age 10 are mostly a waste. It might be fun, but not a lot of long lasting benefit.
Relax. Go play. If she wants a casual round of tennis, awesome. If she wants a tea party, awesome. If she wants to kick your butt at wii boxing (my personal fav), awesome. If she wants to try painting, awesome. (Acrylics are a good start.)
She is 7. Life at that age isn't about sticking to things. It's about getting messy in lots of stuff.
Make a list of a bunch of stuff and do a bit here and there. Some over time will stick more than others, but you can't force it.
What does she find interesting? Have you asked her what 3 or 4 things she would love to do or learn more about?
