true age to give as a gift for a child?

It would be vary some based on the patience and skill level of the child, but I would say 7 or 8 would be good ages. My daughter got hers at age 6, and she likes it and plays with it, but is not able to complete it....although she is improving.

I gave the ROOKIE to my 6yr old and he loved it. After a few days he stopped playing with it :o(

My son is 4, and he loves this game. He was able to solve it within a couple of days.

I'm not positive on the recommended age but a child would have to be able to sit unsupported. The Orange coins are on the small side and may fit into a child's mouth, they might be the diameter of a Kennedy half dollar. My guess would be between 18 and 36 months. My older daughter has never really paid any attention to it and she was 3 when my youngest received the gift. My only problem with it is my youngest got her finger stuck in the coin slot because she was trying to pull the coin out. This was when we first opened it. She has never had the incident occur again. I believe she was 12-18 months when we got it. I hope this helps! I'm not positive on the recommended age but a child would have to be able to sit unsupported.

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.

Christmas present? I use it in therapy (I am a speech pathologist) with kids as young as 3, but I think you could use it with 2 year olds. 18 months might be a bit young as they may just want to put it in their mouths. It depends on the kid though. If you think the kid is really sharp then try it. If the child will be monitored while they play (you faciltate it) they may have fun with it, but 18 month olds don't really get the concept of toppings yet. So to sum up, I would wait until they are a bit older. Up to you.

Well, I have twin 8 yr. old granddaughters, and a 12 yr old grandson, and they liked them. I think it would be a wonderful gift. And nice for the girls to have something besides dolls to play with. Our girls need to learn to be engineers and architects and designers.

I would say 12 months and up to 5 years old. My little girl received one when she was two and loved it!

My niece was 6 when she got hers and my son just got one and he is 7. They love them and would highly recommend buying one.

in my opinion, he may be a little big for it. I usually give it as a 1st bday gift, although 1 1/2-2 appears to be the best age for it. I am not sure of the height from the ground b/c I give it as gifts. That being said, I have seen it used up to the age of 4, just depends how tall and flexible the kids are

my daughter is 10 and loves it - I would say 8? at the earliest... my son - he's 12, kind of outgrew it but he did play with it for a long time - this was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten I have to say - but before 8 years old I don't know if they'd be able to follow the directions without adult help....

Although it says up to five years old, the child would be limited in his or her use of it if they are an average size. For me I would not buy it .

probably atleast 2 and a half to 3 years old before giving this to a child.

Old enough to have a credit or debit card and an Amazon account I suppose. Or a gift card :D

Any age! My kids were 5 and 6 when I got theirs. But they would have been appropriate at a younger age as well and I'm sure they will appreciate them for at least a handful more years.

I gave as a birthday gift to my 7 yr old niece and nephew (separate birthdays) last November. They are still having lots of fun with their magic tricks. For me, it was better than a gift card.

I have it to my Grandson for his 7th birthday. He and his Dad had a very enjoyable time with the gift. I think a ten year old would like it to and probably handle it on his own.

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

Might be a little early unless the child is tall or is able to sit at task for a while. I got it for a 4 year old. I think she will be able to use it til she is about 7 when I think it will still be in good enough condition to pass down to her brother.
