Is it easy enough for an 8 year old to use?

yes an 8 year old can use. My 6 year old granddaughter needed very little assistance.

I'd say yes..once you get the handle turning. You do have to hold it down with. Your other hand. It does make very good snow, for a great price.

It does have sharp blades on the inside but if supervised I think an 8 year old could use it easily. We really love it.

Most definitely. That is one of the reasons I purchased this device. When my nieces visit they are able to make their own snow cones and the youngest is 7 years old. It is a very basic and simple machine but gets the job done equally as well as a power operated device.

Absolutely, I bought it for my granddaughter who turned 8 and loves to use it,

I would say no younger than 8 if you want them to be able to do the projects on their own. I bought this for my 6 year old and he likes to play and hook things up but when it comes to actually completing a circuit or following the diagrams he needs help which I don't mind because I enjoy it also.

I bought it for my 11 year old. But, if you can follow simple directions, it can be used by 8 year olds to learn the basics and for fun. For more in depth knowledge of the principles and the electronics, it can be useful for teenagers.

I used it with my 6 and 10 year old sons. I'd say it was pretty doable for the 10 year old, but I was doing all the gluing for the 6 year old. It's a fun craft with lots of possibilities but it comes down to being patient and steady to hold it in place, glue, and then let it dry. Seems to me like that's a skill that takes practice but I believe an 8 year old could do it and would enjoy this. Hope that helps.

Absolutely! My 4 year old son has been flying this specific heli and LOVES it. If my 4 year old can do it, an 8 year old definitely can.

Its really easy to use. If you're getting it for a younger child I would just get a rubber protective case for it.

I have a 9 year old nephew and got another one for him. I think it would be appropriate for an 8 year old. May not last forever but with a few spare parts its probably a good choice.

Yes, I believe an 8 yr. old would be able to install it and it's light enough to lift and put into place.

It should be fine. We bought it for our 8 year old. You can actually adjust the speed to 50% of max power until your child gets used to it. It was a very good purchase and fun for Dad to run as well!

I think an 8 year old could do it but they might need a little help unless they have experience.

No it's very easy to use. My two daughters (ages 6 and 8) use it easily for finger and toes... Enjoy!

How small is the child? I think it would be good for maybe not younger than an 8 year old

Most 8 year olds who have been using video games will be able to figure out the controls. I would expect a lot of banging into walls in a small space though, which can be bad. Depends on the space you have for flying, will the child follow instructions about trying to not crash (some kids think big crashes are the fun part, and they will have a dead toy in a couple of hours).

I think it would work fine for an 8 year old, obviously depending on what is going to be kept inside. The height is perfect for a nightstand. That's what I use it for, next to a full size adult bed.

Yes! I bought it for my 8 year old son but my 13 year old step-son said he wished he would have got one too.

Yes. It requires very little effort. My six and seven year old use it without issue.

Our grandchildren ages 5 and 8 have used it. It does seem to be accurate and easy for them to use.
