My grandson is turning 6 is it to young for him?

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 it depends on the child. I bought this ship for my twin grandsons birthday ( they were turning two). It was too old for them, as they did not fully understand how to play with it. My nephew who is 12 loved it......as well as friend's sons who were 8 and 10. They played for hours with it using their imaginations , staging battles and walking the plank ( I had bought extra figures to go with the ship). I think it is geared more towards a child who uses his imagination and loves playing!!

Probably. I guess it really depends on how he plays and what he is interested in but I would probably go with something Lego or Playmobil for a 6 y.o.

Yes. Unless he is really into pirates then maybe. It's a large toy with figures. Perhaps if you bought more figures so he can make a larger action area.

No! My son was 6 when I got it for him! Many moving parts...takes skill. 6 is a great age! Very well constructed!

Yes I think 6 would be a little too young but maybe by 9 would be fine. My grandson was 10 years old wen I gave him this for a gift and by then he could do it most of it after some guidance This grandson is a little "tech" type of kid that likes to fiddle with these kind of things, which may make a difference since some kids wouldn't have the interest or desire.

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age

I bought this for my grandson who was almost 5 and he needed help at first but then started to build on his own. I think 2 years old is too young.

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.

My grandson was 7 1/2 yr old when we gave it to him. I would say that is about the youngest I would go. I believe children up to 12 years old would get lots of enjoyment and a great learning experience from this item.

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.

It states that it is. I have a six year old son and he is great with it. He loves Lego. he is really good at it. I wouldn't give it to children under six, since there are very small parts that a child can easily choke on.

I would say probably, the 6 yr. old will have no problem, the 3 yr. old needs to have a little "dexterity" and be able to hang the pieces, it is a balancing act. You know your grandchildren so you have to judge.

I have a 6 year old Grandson that still plays in it with his 2 and 4 year old Brother and Sister. That said, six is getting a little big for this cottage.

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

Oh, btw, I'm also a very old-fashioned woman. I'm not of the opinion that we should just follow the ways of the world. So for me to say it's safe and it's ok for a 6 yr old, is probably something you can rely on. Most people would probably say it's ok for a 3 or 4 yr old, but I think that's too young for anything like this.

I think the youngest appropriate age would be about 5 or 6. My 6 year old nephew played it pretty easily.

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.

Probably. My grandson was a little young for it. I think a six-year-old would love it assimg he/she has imagination and likes to play.

Brandon, I think it totally depends upon the child's abilities. Our grandson was actually too young when we purchased it.
