I saw a comment that these toy models are too simple for a 5yr old. If the case, why the pkg says for 3-7yrs? My son is almost 6 & loves rescue bots.

There isn't much to it. If your son likes rescue bots then he will like this toy but there isn't much room for him to grow with it. So if you don't mind buying something that he might only like for 6 months or a year then have at it understanding what it can offer.

My son and daughter-in-law requested these robots for my four year old grandson, explaining the larger parts would be easier for him to manipulate.

I have a 6 year old boy and he LOVES rescue bots. He has other, more complicated transformers and he likes those too...but plays with his rescue bots the most. I would definitely recommend for a 5 year old.

They are very simple for a five year old. We have them to our two year old nephew and he can use them. That said, the transformers we've tried with the age listed 5-6+ are still a little advanced for my fresh five year old. I haven't found many in the middle.

It depends on the skills of the child.In my expierence they are a good kind of transformers for a 6 years old child

They are well built and simple to operate but my 6 year old nephew still loves them!

In my view a 4-year-old child is too young for Lego 3315, Olivia´s House. The toy requires attention and focus , which is a bit too much for such a young person . My daughter is 7 years old.

I would say it's ok for kids up to four years old but too small for older kids. It's basically designed for toddlers but the motor is noisy and scares younger kids.

my son is 9 and still needed his dad's help a bit (with head, body, and wires). they spent 1 night taking all the parts off and bagging them (included w/sticker lables); then another night building head and body; and then 3rd night building robot. both had a blast and probably spent about 3-4 hours between the 3 nights for 1st robot.

Yes. My son was just a little over 2 when he got his. Now some games are challenging for him and requires help from a parent or his 5yr old brother; but for the most part he learned how to use it very quickly on his own!

Hi. Sorry it took so long to respond. I would say, based on my experience, that this "toy" is perfect for three to six year olds. I always have a lot of kids at the house and those younger than three and older than six never seem to gravitate towards it. Hope this helps.

My son was 7, now 8, and loves them. The hive does have alot of small parts. So judge wisely with your child. We have had no issues at all with the toys.

My 4 year old boy LOVES it! It is very easy for him to put on and take the attachments off. None of the parts are too small nor the ropes long enough to be harmful so I don't think it would be a problem for a 3 year old or a supervised 2 year old to play with either. The button on top that makes noises is a lot of fun. I could also see a 5-8 year old who enjoys Octonauts also having a lot of creative fun with it. I hope that answers your question. We also have all the characters, sea creatures and GUP B and C and he plays with them all the time.

My son is 4 and it's fine for him. They're plastic/rubber-y figures with no little parts to come off so younger kids should be fine, too. And older ones that like to play with figures and use their imaginations should be fine, too. Happy shopping!

A 2 year old might like it, but I think it's really for 3-5 year olds....and my husband who wishes they had this toy when he was a boy.

My son is 3.5 years old, but he can use these scooters. He feels he needs to do whatever his older brothers are doing, and masters quickly before his age thanks to his brothers!. In the beginning he fell a lot, but mastered quickly. My son is very active and a climber, so he is very coordinated as well. the 3 wheel ones were boring already when he was about 2 years old... I guess it depends on the child, and you need to pay close attention so he wont hit hard if he falls, especially learning process, wear helmet etc. Id get the razor A scooter, and try . If you feel he is not ready for it, then you can put it away for while and take it out later to try again. My son is 3.5 years old, but he can use these scooters.

No, 7 is not too old. My 3 y.o. still can't really do them more than a step or two, then the 5 and 7 y.o's show him how to do it. They like acting like monsters and dinosaurs so it works well. Have had them 2 years now and they get used once in a while still.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

Funny you should ask. My 3 year old loves Rescue Bots & the robot that is sold seperately has served as one (to him). We have since gotten him the little figurines- Optimus, Bumble Bee, etc that he could use w/ the Fire City & he has really enjoyed it as a group. The figurines do fit some areas of the fire city but not all.

I bought them for my three grandchildren ages 6 & 7 they didn't last very long, I do have very tough kids though! Just depends on your life style, our children are all hunters, fishers, etc... so toys like this after the age of 9 are too immature..

I bought for a 5 and 7 yo at the time, and it ended up being too easy for them. We just made new games out of it.
