Would this easel be suitable for my 8 year old grandson

absolutely. It's a great beginner's easel, but has features of a more expensive easel.

I believe that he would. My grandson who is now 16 mos old loves to play with his. My friend's 2 yr old enjoys his also. Plus it is a good learning toy.

I think 8 would be a great age for this toy -- he might need some guidance at first, but it would be a great toy to work on together.

I think that depends on your grand daughter's preferences. If she is into doll houses and 'playing house' then she may like it. Honestly, I bought this when my daughter was really young. She is now four and actually prefers to play with the little dolls without the house. I actually have a smaller folding Melissa and Doug doll house, which she prefers. I am thinking this item...the deluxe wooden house is a good size for an eight year old. If she is into art, she might like painting it too. I hope I was of some help.

Think it would depend on the weight and size. My grandchild is 12mths old, but only weighs about 8kilos (20pounds) (was born preemie) and gets lots of use out of it. And I think it will be great for when she starts coloring and using playdough, a more controlled enviroment. I have it on our coffee table so she always feels part of the life going on.

Probably not. We got it for our three year old grandson. He's enjoyed it a lot, but eventually it got too easy for him.

Jane, that is the reason I'm buying for my 8 year grandson. He like to build things. At 8 it may take a little help but I don't think it will take much.

I think it will be too easy for him. The suggested age is 8-12. How about try some searches from amazon Toys & Games by age "14 & up" and also your preferred brand.

no, it should be good. I had my 8 and 6 yr old do it and my 4yr old neded help with it. It should not be too easy or boring for 8yr old.

I think it would be fine. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson. As long as he or she loves to draw, this will be enjoyed and it is very well made.

Absolutely. My grandson is still playing with it a year later. He was 6 last Christmas and it was his favorite gift of all.

Yes it's very very user friendly. An 8 year old would have no trouble. battery and charger is included.

emily , my opinion is 7 or 8 year old is in need of a more mature wooden desk , this step 2 desk is ideal for my 2 year old grandaughter, she loves working with her coloring book and crayons and 1 2 3 and the abc blocks,,, i would say the step 2 desk i have is for a child to the age of 5,i'm sure amazon can help you choose the correct desk for a 8 year old,the 8 year old's are using larger desk in school today,,,,i hope i did help,,,,,

I think it would be fine for a typical 8 year old, as long as some presets are made with the lenses. Some of the controls are quite delicate, so training would be required.

I think he might be a little young for this microscope. I bought it for my 8 year old grandson.

Yes. My granddaughter just turned 3 and is very tall for her age, not sure how many inches she is now but she was 36 inches tall at 2-1/2. This easel is still quite a bit taller than she is. It's very sturdy also. She was able to comfortably crawl into the space between the easel sides and sit. She thinks it is her fort.
