Simple enough for an 8-year-old?

Yes...if your son/daughter has interest and can focus. My son could fly it better then my husband and myself .

I would try to find another karaoke machine that the 8 yr. old will not outgrow as quickly. There are probably others that will do more and can still be operated by an 8 year old. We found a couple in Toys R Us but didn't buy them because they looked a little too old. For our three year old, we needed to keep it simple and not worry about too many buttons and knobs. As you probably read, we were first happy with it but then had headache after headache trying to get the manufacturer to replace a defective microphone. Hope this helps,Kevin

Yes, the concept of the game is fairly simple and it is a collaborative game versus a competitive one. I would put the bottom age range at about 8 years old, whom should be able to easily pick up the rules and what to do

Easy as far as them put it together? My 3 yr. old plays with this granted i helped him put it together but I think a 8 yr.old shouldnt have issues.

I guess is a good option. I bought it for my nephew, but she is 2 years old, and for now she starts to play with this kind of things, but for a boy of 8 years I think is good.

I am using it for my 6 years old boy with out any problem. Very convenient to sit and write and also safe. For 8 years old may be little small but it depends on how tall is your girl. Sometimes I also use it for writing some quick notes :)

Yes I would, depending on how it will b used. You can add memory to it for book, picture music & movie files , so is better than a kindle for OFFLINE use. If it will b used for ONLINE use mostly, my daughter (23) said it runs slow. So if your 8 year old is an online gamer, might want to keep looking.

I don't think it's too easy. It won't be difficult, but will keep an 8 yr. Old busy. There are creattive activities, i think an 8 yr. Old would like.

This is a pretty simple game. But certain strategies a more experienced player could use may merit the game less fun. A young (8+) player could definitely play.

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

It is simple enough for an 8 year old if you go over everthing with them concerning different setting first and yes it comes with a battery charger as well as connections for pc

Maybe not. I got it for my 8 year old grandson and he enjoys it but doesn't play as much as he did. The games are pretty simple.

Yes, I think it's probably too small for an 8 year old. I have a 3 and 4 years old grandchildren and they are just about too big for it. Hope this helps...

No, this is not big enough for an 8 year old. But I ordered the Gymnic / Hop On Air Translucent Hop Ball which is much larger for my 6 year old grandson and his older cousin loves it also. Go with the 22 inch ones for older children. My 3 and 4 year old grandchildren like the Ball, Bounce and Sport Ball.

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.

We got it for a 3 yr old. It worked good for him. So unless you have a short 8yr ok I would say yes it's too short.

Depending on your childs ability. I do think an 8 year old could eventually master the controls, but I think it is a little advanced for an 8 year old. I bought it for my 13 year old and it took him a little bit to master the training level and is now struggling to master the speed setting. I hope this helps.
