Is this a good machine for beginners(6-7 year olds)?

Yes, with guidance from an adult. I have used it with my four year old granddaughter. She likes to use it to make doll clothes.

I would reccomend it , a lot of junk and toys out there, this is a good entry level and good quality for the price range, I think the pull distance is adjustable on this one that is why I bought this one , there are smaller ones out there but that 11 year old will start growing fast trust me, he should be lucky to get one, remember to lay down the saftey rules first, hugo's online had the best price last year, a straw hay bale wrapped in a plastic bag makes a good cheap target

Yes, it is a great machine. Only issue is set up...it's a little challenging. Hope that helps.

It is fine for a 6 year old, but she might get board of it after a while of using it. I think she would love it.

Bought this for my wife last Christmas. It's a small, I repeat small, machine. Great for beginners. I'm sure an experienced seamstress could do some monogramming with it, but I wouldn't expect it to be easy.

I think so. We bought it for our 11-year-old and she LOVES it!! She hasn't advanced far enough to use everything in there correctly yet, but she loves exploring and experimenting with it.

Of course. It really depends on the interests of the child. If the 6-year old likes building things he'll have fun with this. My husband who is way older than 6 is the one who wanted to buy this!

If your 7 year old is interested in music I'm sure they would like it. My 6 year old niece likes to play with it. The older they are the more they would understand the different instruments make different sounds and could create more complex music. If you decide to purchase this toy, I would look at Target. I found it there considerably cheaper.

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.

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

I would say it is OK for beginners, if you mean a child old enough to be a little responsible. Short of shooting someone in the face it isn't powerful enough to do damage. It is full auto, so it can put out a lot of pellets- my son is not allowed to load or use it inside the house, it is an outside only toy.

My granddaughter is 7 and it works well for her. I'm sure she will continue using it for the next couple of years without any trouble.

Yes. My now 4 year old has two of these and he can take them apart and out them together with no problems. I would think a 6 year old would find it too easy.

I think it is. It has the keyboard like an adult keyboard. There is alot of different ways to use it too. More for play for a 7 year old. For actual school learning - I would get an adult one.

If they are already into modelling kits this would be good for any age. Wouldn't be a good first kit for a kid under 12.....

No. This machine is bigger than it looks and it moves pretty quickly. I would not recommend it for any child under 4 years old. It isn't very heavy, but it has a turbo that requires a very light twist of one hand grip and then it goes about 6 mph. Doesn't seem that fast until you are chasing it.

In my opinion, the average child that age would only be able to use a few of the features. The manufacturer suggests ages 6 and up, but I would say it would be more worthwhile for even a slightly older child like 7. A 5-6 year old would surely enjoy it, just probably not use all of the features.
