is it worth it for a 5 yrs old

No this is the worst, the battery life is awful and the screen works when it wants to

Even my 17-year-old thought some of the games funny. But no, it is not worth the money since it spends all its time in the repair's shop. We had only owed it for four days, when it broke the first time and two days when it broke the second time. It can not handle being charged up, even when as in our case, it is a grown up handling all the charging. As soon as you plu that charger in, uou break the tablet inside! Finally we had to return it and ask our money back, and get a proper tablet instead which was a pity. My 6-year-old, 8-year-old and 11-year-old loved all the games!!!

I wish I could answer that. I bought it for my 2 year old Grandson. It does have a lot of games for older kids though. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I would not recommend this Furby Boom for a 5 yr old, as stated on package for ages 6 or 7+. Just because something is cute doesn't mean it is an appropriate toy for a child younger than he age recommended for. We as adults need to monitor our child's learning tools/play toys.

I guess it would depend on how much strength the 5 year old has. I bought it for my grandsons who are 9 and 11. They didn't have a hard time with it.

My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

Hard to answer. It all depends on the child. My 4 year old got tired of it after a week and is sitting on the shelf. But it does take a 4-5 year old to navigate it. It's a good toy for the price.

It will do. It will do better for a 4 year old. By the time s/he turns 5 it will probably be way too small.

No, I would say it's not worth the investment. Our son plays with the train maybe once or twice a month for an hour or two, and the batteries are still going after a year. Unless you think your child is going to use it non-stop, I'd hold off. The other thing we found is that our son (3 y.o.) loves it and brags to everyone about his "lectric" train, but it gets boring after an hour so he moves on from it quickly...hope this helps...:-)

I think that a 5 year would like it if it's new to him. I don't know how long he'd be intrigued, as he would probably put pieces together as they are supposed to go! It would depend upon the child. The major positive about Lego is that it stays together instead of falling apart as soon as you pick it up! It also can be washed if needed. I bought the set for my 2 year old great-grandson, but I, his father, 3 uncles, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather are or have been in engineering, and have played with him since he could hold things. He loves it, and puts the pieces together in all kinds of ways, so it looks different as he plays. He's also fascinated with trucks, dump trucks, trains and such.

You can get games for 5 plus... My son had one as a six year old and it was fairly sturdy... We were impressed.

I actually think a child who has a better understanding for money and can do some arithmetic will enjoy this more than my 5 year old, who is just starting to learn the basics of addition. I sure hope mine will functioning when she will be 7 years old. Hope this helps you.

I think a five year old would still like it, since you can build an unlimited number of things. It is difficult for my 3 year old to put the objects together by himself, so a 4-6 year old would probably be the right age.

I think it would be pretty frustrating for most 5 year olds. They could assist, of course, particularly if they have a long attention span and pretty good fine motor skills. A five year old might get a bigger thrill out of one of those giant floor puzzles, if you could find one with a picture he/she really liked.

No it is not to small for a 5 yr old .I have a 4yr old that people think is 6 yrs old because how tall she is and it is perfect. Very well made and she just loves it.

I think it would be great for that age. I bought one for my 5 Year old daughter and she has gotten the hang of it. Also it's pretty fun to play with being an adult too. It's a pretty quick toy. Good Luck!

I don't think 5 years is too young. It depends on your child, but I would give it a try. You can always change the rules a bit. :)

You probably already got one, but my concern would be the dropping. My 4 year old has dropped his leapster so many times and I wouldn't get him a DS for a few years because of it. If they could be responsible I think the DS would be cool. I will upgrade probably when he is around 7ish and maybe get one for his brother depending on if he can do it when he is 5 or just get another Leapster or pass brother's down.

My son is 5 an he still loves it. There are different games you can buy for different age groups if that helps.
