Is this item really appropriate for a 6 year old or will it be frustrating? Most reviews seem to be for kids a couple years older. Thank you

A six year old might need a bit of help getting started and at the end but it really depends on the kid. I gave this to my 9 yr. old.

I think it would be very frustrating for a 6 year old alone. I worked on it with my granddaughter and it was hard for us and she is much older than 6.

I would think a couple years older but it depends it the 6 year old. My daughter learns all these fun crafts from her friends so what I think might be too young really isn't.

My daughter used this while in her teens. I think a 6 yr old might get frustrated because it has very long strings that can easily tangle and it requires the ability to braid and/ or macreme. The directions are tough for little ones to understand.

I gave these to my grddgters last year for Christmas and I really don't know how they worked for them. (8 and 7 yrs old). However, this summer all the kids did the Rainbow Loom, from my 5 yr old grandson and up, and they all loved them.

Your 6 year old will be able to work it by himself/herself and will be able to use the special features (like the animations). Your 3 year old would like it too, but would need some help with the mechanics of it. Hope this helps!

Hello, not for a 6 year year old, just wait a couple more years. Also, this bike has a manufacturing problem with the real wheel & they won't address the problem. We've had ours 12 days & 10 of them are in repair & we still haven't got it back yet.

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

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 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.

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!

I have not seen it but my boys (8 & 9) want it too, so we think we may spring for it. BUT a word of advice from a mom who bought way too many toys too early for them (when the were 5 & 6). Wait. We bought a pool/ping pong/air hockey combo table and it's trashed. All the games we bought for them at that age are missing pieces. Unless your 6 yr old is really mature, I would wait a year or two if I were you.

I would not consider it a toy and think that it would not be appropriate for a 2 year old. I would recommend an age range of at least 5 and up. I actually bought one for myself.

No, I bought this for my 2 year old granddaughter for a Christmas present. Her younger brother who was not even 1 was able to control it. So I would think it a little too simple for a 6 year old. Their motor skills being quite a bit more mature than a 2 year old. Hope this helps answer your question.

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 :)

The one I purchased is being used by 2 and 4-year-olds, but I believe it would still work just fine for a 6-year-old.

I just bought it for my 7 year old (soon to be 8). Her friend, also 7 has had one for awhile. Hope that helps.

This item will work for ages 5-75. I bought it for my grandson who is 5 and everyone in the family loves it. Sorry it took me so long to answer.

Yes, I think it is suitable for a 6 year old. My nephews are almost 4 and play with it daily. There are features on it that all little boys would enjoy playing with.

My daughter is 6 too and she just had to have it for her birthday, so she picked it out with her birthday money. She does play with it but its not cuddly so she can't really do much with it except pet it and get it to purr a few times. I'd say not the best toy and she doesn't play with it that much. If your daughter likes other furr-real toys then this is a good one comparatively but if not then pass. Hope that helps!
