I purchased this turtle for my 20 month old grandson this past Christmas. He's nearly 29 months old now, and is losing interest in it. Hope this information helps.

I don't recommend a DS for a 3 1/2 year old. My 10 year old loves his DS but his 6 year old brother has difficulty using it. By the time your 3 1/2 year old "grew" into the DS someone will have another, better product. I recommend keeping it simple, stick with Leapster.

I bought it for my 2 yo . She is 5 now, and she and her 2 yo sister still enjoy it tremendously. Upper age limit? No idea when kids will consider it "not cool anymore". BTW, the player was dropped couple of times and survived with no damage at all.

My 3 year old granddaughter took to it like a duck to water. She never saw drums before, but just seemed to know what to do. I also bought a set for my 4 year old granddaughter. She has had a harder time using both hands at the same time, but she enjoys playing them every day. They are just so cute on those drums, I can hardly stand it. Best of all, both drum sets are at their homes. But I am thinking of getting another set for them to play when they come to my house.

Man, Barbara is such a b!tch, lol. This tablet is priced to be a "throw away" tablet. I believe B. Herndon is trying to give her 5 yo something that will function almost as well as the high-priced tablets, but if any "accidents" occur, she won't sweat the price she paid. Better to start the rugrats off on relatively inexpensive gadgets, so when they break 'em, they'll know better next time. I plan on giving my 8 yo the next tablet up for his birthday, so he can do some of his schoolwork on it, and of course play games.

I would agree with the other 2 posters. This is more for young toddlers ages 1-4, more so a beginner doll house. She would probably get board with this at her age range. Your granddaughter is at the kindergartner age.

Our grandchild just turned 1 and it is a little advanced for that age (but not too much). I'm guessing maybe 1.5 before bigger interest and maybe 3 for actually playing songs.

We purchased the tablet for Christmas 2013 when she was still one. At first she enjoyed the sounds, music, piano, songs, etc. Now she is two and has figured out how to navigate to the different "programs" and make other apps work. She is more familiar and has continued learning from it, and still enjoys playing with it. The more she plays, the more she (and we) learn what it can do. I believe it was a great investment and will be a great learning-by-playing tool until she is at least school age which is around six years old. I hope my answer helps.

I bought it for a 6 year old. Her mom had just started University courses and was on the computer a lot, so I thought this might be fun for her "to work" with mommy. Since real computers have now entered many classrooms, I'd say for kids no older than 7 or 8 years old.

hi when my daughter was 4 she loved the hokey pokey elmo.I also got her the leapfrog fridge dj loves 3 years later still and teaches numbers and letters.

Most definitely. I would think that's the perfect age. I have two and my granddaughter is only 16 months. Hardly old enough to hand them to her as a toy. But she giggles at them when I hold her on my lap and we play with them. She definitely has it figured out how to feed the little guys! EDITED: to say: After reading the comment left by CandaceMacan24 , I may agree that 5 and above may even be a better age group than 4 - she makes some good points. Depends on the kid. As a side note, My 16 month old GD isn't scared by it.

My daughter received hers for her 3rd birthday. She's very smart but she does have difficulty with tracing the letters and numbers in the "pet" application. However, for a 2-1/2 year old I'm sure that it would be useful, just as long as it keeps their attention. Some kids do better than others. Mine has a bit more energy and can only play for a short time before wanting to get up and go. If the device lasts long enough, it should be useful for up to 9 years, but I'm sure we'll have quite better equipment to choose from by then.

I know that it is almost a year later, but I hope that you bought your daughter the Intuos4 tablet.It really means a lot to children when they are given something that is professional grade rather than the product of "lesser" grade.It shows them that you believe in them enough to spend a few extra dollars so that they can have a high quality product instead of something like the Bamboo Fun, which may end up holding her back.

Thanks once again. I ordered her LeapPad today. Got a great bundle deal from LeapFrog plus free shipping. Her school just got one this week also, so we will be able to work together.

I agree wholeheartedly that it depends on the child. Our daughter received her ds at 5 and had no problems using it right away. Our son just turned 3 and we're considering purchasing something similar for him because he already knows how to do some things on the computer and work portions of my iphone. If you think the stylus may be too difficult for him to handle at this age, go with the leapster or let them try an old gameboy perhaps.
