Is a good play set for a soon-to-be 6 year old, or would palymobil be better?

A 6 year old would probably be at the tail-end of playing with this set. I think their imagination would be going forward to something more interactive for that age. Would probably play with it at first out of curiosity, but don't see it lasting long as approaching 6 1/2 or 7.

If the 6 year old was careful, it would work. This is a wonderful toy for outside and inside fun.

My twin boys are only two so it's hard for me to say not knowing what a six year old is like maturity wise. The stack track is great because it can really challenge kids giving them the ability to build up as much as around. To really be able to enjoy the diversity of the Chuggington track, though, you would want to buy extra track. This can become a pretty expensive build up but if you are familiar with the prices and don't mind I wouldcertainly recommend the product. All of the different sets are interchangeable which is nice if you do want to build your set.

Ronnie, this is a good beginner set for younger children. Even though your son just starting to play the drums, at fourteen he's going to need something a bit sturdier I suppose and something close to the real thing, as in sound and pitch.

I would say no. I have a six and a nine year old, both who love games. And I'm just teaching my nine year old how to play these sorts of games. Games I would suggest for 6yo; Get Bit, Robots, King of Tokyo. Good luck! :)

If possible, I would buy more than 30 pieces. Get the largest set you can, because the joy will be more long-lasting. If he is playing them with a friend, that would only be 15 pieces each, and it is hard to build something with just 15 pieces. However, if you can only afford 30 pieces, he would enjoy it tremendously. I can pretty well guarantee that if you buy the 30 set, you will be back to buy a larger set to add to it. This is the most fun toy ever created, seriously. The pieces click together with magnets, and lend themselves to a wide variety of shapes. You will probably end up playing with them as much or more than your 9 year old. God bless. Marian Liveley

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

Not if she still engages in imaginative play. My five year old loves it but she still plays house and other scenarios. I would think a 6 year old would like it.

Hi there, I bought this set for my boys, who were 5 & 7 at the time of the purchase and they like it a lot. They had it in their day care center in Pre-K, where the kids are 4 & 5. I have a 4-year-old girl now who I do not see building anything with the set but plays with it once the brothers built something already, so I do not know what to answer for a 4 years old. Maybe yes for boys if he is able to focus and follow instructions in the booklet. I would recommend it more though for a 5-years-old boy. Hope this helps! Irina

For this age I recommend te FunLine. Its thicker, so its better for young children to balance

My son was about 3.5 when we moved from Duplo to Lego. We have this set (amoung many others) and he would help me build them. Yes, if your child no longer puts things in his mouth, ears and/or nose, and you are willing to have a building session with him/her, I feel this is a good set. We have many loose legos now as well. My son is almost 4, and he plays with his Lego's more than any other toy. He doesn't care so much for these sets, as he just wants to build whatever he wants. My OCD kicks in a little when the sets are all in pieces, but hey, he is having fun.

You can get games for 5 plus... My son had one as a six year old and it was fairly sturdy... We were impressed.

I believe this ball would be a bit big for a six year old. I am sorry to tell you that, but there are many other balls that would work. Hope this helps.

I believe the other set is more complex, perhaps for older children. I chose this set for my 2 year old very inquisitive grandson.

I think so, however the youngest I've known to play it is 8. If the 6 yr old grasps instructions well then he should be fine. It's the explanation of various combinations vs. just colour combos that may frustrate him. But there is no reading involved so he may just enjoy it for the combinations and patterns.

I bought this for my 3.5 year old and he loves it. I would think most kids from age 3-7 would like playing with this set.
