Is my 8 year old too old for this?

I agree with the poster below... It's a great toy for a five year old, but I believe an 8 year old will be bored after five minutes. It doesn't have a huge amout of features beyond the three voice options and four barbie songs. The Barbie microphone and amplifier would be better for an eight year old, though more expensive.

I think an 8-year old will not be as impressed with this as a 5-year old (my daughter's age). The radio has the voice-changing features, which my whole family (parents included) got a kick out of; but that might be the only feature that entices an 8-year old to play with it.

I don't think the age is the issue. I have to point out the product seems very poorly designed. Its very difficult to hear your voice over the mic even at the loudest setting. The cord is really short too. I've heard the others that have the mic stand and the amplifier box works much better. Lots of fun even for an 8 yr old who wants to sing her heart out.

Yes, sort of. He may not know what some of the items are, but with kind players, it could be explained or the 8 yr old could draw something else on the list that he did know. Sometimes my 9 yr old is in the same situation and we just roll with it. He loves the game.

Yes it's very very user friendly. An 8 year old would have no trouble. battery and charger is included.

I think it will be too easy for him. The suggested age is 8-12. How about try some searches from amazon Toys & Games by age "14 & up" and also your preferred brand.

I think he would be too young. I have a 6 and an 8 year old. We played it with the 8 year old, who can read. She enjoyed it the first time and we went easy on her, since we knew her routes. (We had to explain it to her as we went along.) Then we let her play it without our help and she ended up crying because she was so disappointed to not play so well. It's a great game but my kids are both too young for it yet.

I would say yes, i think 8 years would be too old for it. Its about 13ish cm.

No, this would be way too short for a child eight years old. My granddaughter is a short two year old and it's just right for her.

Could be difficult to fly for an 8 year old if this is his first helicopter. As Colette stated it really depends upon the child. The is more difficult to fly than some of the toy grade helicopters. I would check out http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/helicopter-for-kids.html or the Syma S107 for an 8 year old

this is for 5-12 year olds so yes its fine for an 8 year old but anyone concerned too I would go with the teen/adult one which is similar. on their website here. http://www.microkickboard.com/young-adult-teen-scooters/3-wheeled

I bought it for an 8yr old but at the last minute decided to hold on to it for another year - there were so many pieces and thought my 8 year old might be too overwhelmed. Depends on your kid and their organization skills. Will give it as a gift this year.

Probably not. If he likes to build things it will be good for him. My nephews are 8 and they love it and rarely put them down.

I'm so sorry Linda just responding to your question. It depends if your eight year old is quite small for a third grader. But, I think typically these drums are for younger kids. The stool is low and this can help if your child is tall. I hope this helps.

I'd say this game is appropriate for an 8 year old. I look at this game as a kids game. There is no blood and gore what so ever in the game. Theres also no profanity, drug use, sexual themes as well.. Im 21 years old and i play this game with my younger brother whos actually 9. So to answer your question, it isnt inappropriate for an 8 year old. I would recommend going on youtube and looking up the gameplay so you can have a look for yourself.

My son is 8 years old. He haven't gotten that far yet. Sorry, It's still under construction.

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

Yes. I am am nine, and I love it! An eight year-old could definitely play with it.

It is for kids ages 8 and up. But I think younger kids could use it as well.
