I've been reading all the reviews, and the general audience seems to be 1-3. Do you think a boy turning 5 would enjoy this toy or too young?

My opinion is that 1-3 is the right age. Above that and you are likely in child-guitar territory. This isn't at all close to a real instrument, it's a neat toy with songs and buttons that my 19month old really loves.

My five year old is amused by my 2 years guitar. It's not something she gravitates towards regularly. I'd say you have better options

I think it may be a bit too young for boy turning 5, unless they don't mind not making the music themselves and just using it as a prop to pretend.

I think its possible for a 5 year old boy to enjoy the toy. My 4 year old girl loves it and she is turning 5 soon. My brother who is 39 years old was also elated that the keys were the actual notes on a guitar. His only complaint or thought was he wished it could go from major to minor chords. How funny is that?!!

My son is 1,4 ears old, my daughter is 4,4. Both of them like this toy :) It has a lot of melodies and they like to danse, sing and play

Definitely not too young, but possibly too old. It really depends on the child learning and maturity level.

Hey, my opinion is between ages 3-8 is a good age ranage for this toy. My 3 year old son loved it but for older kids who like to pretend fixing stuff it will do just fine.

I bought it for my granddaughter when she was two, and when her boy cousins come over, they all love to play on it. I gave it to my nephew, too. I think it depends more how the parents will react to it. Some are hung up on only giving boys traditional "boy" toys (pardon the term!), and the same with girls and girly toys. My granddaughter likes to remove the lady bug seat and snuggle up to it.

I think so - there is enough little things about it that the 2-3 year old would stay interested in it. I would say about three it would be time to invest in a different one. The product is so durable though it would hold up for more kids wanting to play with. I do not think you would regret it!

I gave this as a birthday gift to a 5 year old. She loves it! I would think 5-6 would be the perfect age. My daughter is 3 and she wanted it too so I ordered it for her as well. We play it but without the batteries. You would have to be at least 5 in order to play it right... it's hard to get those little things out. But it's cute.... it has all the main characters from the show.

I bought it from Amazon and the recommended age listed was 1-5. I do not believe a 5 year old would be entertainedby this toy. More importantly, the toy did not stand up to a 2 year old! He loved it, but I will not replace it.

It's perfect for 3-5, he may be too big for it. Plus it does not do very fast but is nice for a toddler.

I gave it to my son at 5 months old 5 months later still his favorite toy. It was cool at 5 months old seeing him turn it on. It's good till 2 years old I think

My grandson just turned three, and he loved it! But the older kids at his birthday party were having fun with it, too. Heck, I was having fun playing with it. I really think three to eight would be the optimal ages for this.

No I don't. I think that he/she will love it and play with it for years. I believe we have it to my son when he was 2. He loves it to this day n he will be 5 this February

Kids age 4 to 7 will probably enjoy it the most. Older than that, and they might think it too "babyish" for them.

My son is 2.5 yrs old. He loves it but I feel he doesn't get full use out of the little details, like hoisting the sails etc. So I could only imagine an older child would enjoy it even more! If he likes pirates, ships or imaginative play, I think he would love it. I was really surprised by the quality. ...I hope this helps a little :-)

I think a 3 year old would be too old for this toy. I gave it to my 9 month old nephew and he loved it. Now that he is 18 months old and walking, he hardly plays with it, too many things to get into and explore I guess. He might go back to playing with it. I would not give this to a 3 year old.

I guess it would depend on the boy. My grandson received his when he was three, now five, and still loves it.

That was exactly the age of my grandson when I gave it to him. I was not around to see how much he played with it. However, it's a wonderful toy, and I have no doubt that he will be playing with it for years. The attention span of a child of that age is a bit limited with anything. His favorite thing was to open and close doors and turn light switches on and off. I really love the toys from this company.

I'd say it's best for 2/3 to 6/7 year olds. I have a 3 yr old and 5 yr old who play with it a ton (both girls) and their big brother (8 yrs old) joins in sometimes but loses interest quickly.

A child between 1 and 5 years old would probably like this toy. My boys are 5 and 7 and they love it.
