It is for ages 8 and up. Would a 6 year old be okay with it?

I got this for my 7-year-old grandson for Christmas and he loved it. I did spend some time with him, though, showing him how to do it, and he had a little trouble getting the designs to come out evenly without help, but he loved creating the different ones.

With assistance - but this is the best Spirograph set produced since the original - and I have been hunting for years. I would snatch it up while it is available and plan for years of enjoyment!

My five year old can use it with my help. He hasn't developed the fine motor skills needed to keep the gear teeth meshed, and often skips a few teeth, leading to some frustration.It's hard to say if at 6 years old one could master it completely- that depends on each child's development. But with a little practice maybe they could do it.

There aren't pins anymore...so very safe. It does require a good deal of fine motor skill though....so a very artistic six year old only.

A six year old should be fine with this overall. There may be a few pieces that require more dexterity however the majority of the pieces should be just fine for someone age 6. Many hours of creative fun!

for the simple things yes, I gave it to my 7 year old niece and she had a hard time maneuvering some of the wheels. It is the best one I've found though. Reminds me of the one I had

I had a four year old and a six year old play with it at my house. The 4 year old could not do it. The 6 year old made mistakes but was able to make the designs and have fun. With a little practice he would have been fine. So the first few times, parent will need to direct and assist, but then it will be enjoyed.

Sorry i got it as a gift to my 3 year old nephew! Im sure its fine for a 6-8 year old.

I would say yes! My 4 year old rides it, so a 6 year old could handle it very well.

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.

I gave it to my 1 and 1/2 year old grandson, it was a little old for him. I think it would be perfect for a six year old. It is large, the back tips up so things can be dumpted. Very sturdy. The back does keep coming off.

My 4 and 2 year olds have had hours of imaginative fun. I think a 6 year old would enjoy it too.

I bought it for my grandchildren 6 and down. The 6 yr old is quite tall and loves it so probably it will be fine.

It might be a little advanced for that age. Our younger grandson is 6. I can't remember if he was able to "get it" or not, but the 8 year old did fine.

Yes. We purchased it for our 6 year old for Christmas and so far so good. He loves it.

Of course. It really depends on the interests of the child. If the 6-year old likes building things he'll have fun with this. My husband who is way older than 6 is the one who wanted to buy this!

Yes, I have a 6 year old daughter and she does it no problem. It is very durable and easy to use.

yes, it would be too difficult for a six year old. the "basics" would probably be okay for a bright six year old that was able to add simple numbers, however, when you include the "trump/captain" card rules and the strategy necessary to determine when to play your cards and on what ships...that would put the 6 year old at a disadvantage when playing with adults. MAYBE if playing against other kids the same age...who again all knew how to add...but i would recommend against it.

It would probably be fine... It isn't too powerful for younger kids so yeah I guess it's probably fine for them

Absolutely. My grandsons are 6 & 8. Perfect for all kids who love to draw and create.

Definitely not. My boys are older than 6, and they all love it. Since we have 3 of the sets, they have a lot of fun putting the track in different configurations. I think at 6, he would enjoy it.

My 7 & 8 year old girls can ride this fine. They are smaller than average for their age though. If your 6 year old is really tall it might be tight. But otherwise should be fine :)

I don't think I would get it for a six year old, but I would not have a problem recommending it for a nine year old.
