My cousin's twins are 2 and loved playing with it, of course they needed help cleaning it but loved it. My nephew is 5, and loved it. My daughter who I purchased it for is 7 and also loves it.

Any, really, with supervision. My grandkids started using these type of toys at 1 1/2, 2. And, my dad also plays with it! He's 73! And everyone in between! They are great fun!

I purchased for my nephew; he was turning 7 and he loved it! My kids had a similar one at age 6. I think it depends on the child.

The suggested low age is 8. I bought this kit for my 6 year old, and he has had a lot of fun with it. But the lower ages will require some adult help, explaining how to interpret the color pictures to build the projects. Once the child understands that, they can have a lot of fun on their own. Lots of great things to build, from very simple light-up projects, funny sound effects, a helicopter-like flying propeller, and a radio that really works! Also, there is a smaller kit available. The pieces are color coded to match the book examples, and easily snap together. The circuit is built by copying the example pictures, without having to read the text. Older users can actually learn basic electronics by reading the text, if they have an interest in understanding how the circuit works.

Anywhere from 9 to 13 or 14. Even older kids could have fun with some of the sleight of hand tricks if they're into entertaining friends. It's a great set as a starter too, good value because you get a LOT of different stuff. It'd be a terrific Chrustmas/holiday gift. I got it for my 11 year old grandson who fell in love with magic after seeing Steve Carroll in The Amazing But Wonderstone. Enjoy!

I would recommend Ages 2 and above...however like all kids are they will tend to loose Interest after couple weeks...a downside as well is the fact that it uses batteries....also do not expect any well taken shot from a two year old!! most of the pictures are of his feet or the ceiling....

I would suggest teen+. Even at just 55lb draw strength, that's too much for most children.

I think it is still good for a one year old because it teaches colors and also distinguishing size order. My niece is one and she still lives hers. I would say the maximum age would be after the child has learned their colors and is not interested in putting things together or in order anymore (Maybe 2-3).

Well I'm 33 and I love them. I think it really matters that the kids are old ENOUGH to use crayons. Not too old. I still color.

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.

I purchased this for my four year old. My twelve and nine year old play with him as does my two year old :) I would say it's best for 3-5 year olds.

My granddaughter is two and loves to colour. She also plays HARD for such a tiny child. The table seems strong and stable and still looks like new after half a year of tough treatment. My daughter in law also uses the magic eraser and it cleans up perfectly.

Deanna, I think this product does hit all of those ages because it works on their numbers, their colors and sounds. This prouduct would be a great gift for your 1 year old! Happy belated birthday! Hope this helps answer your question.

personally, i would say age 3 to 6, but older kids might like it too, like if they are visiting your house, or helping a younger kid with it. my daughter is 5 1/2 and still plays with it often. of course she has the motor skills down, but she still is entertained by making designs, and just using the tools, really.

wow, 10-- kids are so computer savvy... my 16-year old is doing pretty advanced 3D animation, so I think that it's possible for a 10year old to learn this if he has patience and the attention span. Someone may have to help him here and there, but you know best if he's a kid that can learn things on his own. I do find that you can Google almost any question and someone somewhere has an answer, so that's helpful. Also, we love Lynda.com, which has tutorials for almost any software for unlimited learning at $35. a month. I don't remember if they have this software but you can go on their site and see. At the very least, if he finds it too hard, he can put it away for a year or two and try it again later-- but if he does well at this at age 10 he's doing great and has a future in this area if he wants it. I do have a background in design and know Adobe suite, so I find this fairly simple to learn but it is time consuming. Hope this is helpful. I will say that it is well worth the price.

Hi,My kids love it but they are 11 and 8. I use it too.It may be a little difficult for a five year old and may frustrate them. I would wait. Try the ez glider. I have that too and is super easy and fun.

Hi, perhaps below 5 would be good. For big kids, maybe good is good to try the Ultra version.

The larger crayons are made for more aggressive hands that may not have fine motor skills yet. They are less likely to break and they will not be used up as quickly. If the 4 year old has good motor skills and can understand working delicately, then these would be just fine.

Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well. If the boys play together well, there would be opportunities for car races and other creative play, especially if you have other car toys and can combine activities. As a former preschool teacher, I like the older one mentoring the younger and encouraging joint play! They could make block tunnels and obstacles, etc. I have many of the Fisher Price items that have endured years of play from my grown kids and now are being reused for our five grandkids under three years of age.
