Would this be a good gift for 4-year-old & 1.5-year-old brothers or would the 4-year-old outgrow it too quickly?

I got this for a 4 year old and he loves it. plays with it for hours I am told by his mom.!!

I got this for a 2 year old, but my son is 13 and loves to play with it with the 2 year old. Just get extra cars so they don't have to retrieve the cars a lot. More cars is more fun.

I bought this is Nov. for my 23 month old. He has about out grown it. He now loves to play with his VTech Go! Go! Smart Ultimate Amazement Park Play Set. :)

Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well. If the boys play together well, there would be opportunities for car races and other creative play, especially if you have other car toys and can combine activities. As a former preschool teacher, I like the older one mentoring the younger and encouraging joint play! They could make block tunnels and obstacles, etc. I have many of the Fisher Price items that have endured years of play from my grown kids and now are being reused for our five grandkids under three years of age.

Yes it would be okay for 3-4 year old. My one year old likes it but doesn't understand the concept of it yet.

I think a 9/10 yr. old would get bored pretty quickly on this. It is fun for our 3/4 year old g-son, but the first speed really bored him quickly at the age of 3.

I'd probably wait a until the child was closer to 2. I purchased it for my grandson who had just turned 2 and he figured it out fairly easily but as we have since discovered, unlike his older brother, he apparently got the "puzzle gene". He loves puzzles and can do them just about as well as his 4 1/2 yr. old brother. They are both bright little boys but just look at the world differently. Even if the 12 month old has the "puzzle gene", it will most likely be months before he/she is ready for the beginner pattern one. There are some other Melissa and Doug puzzles that would be better starters - I'd look in to the Jumbo Knob ones for now. I'd probably wait a until the child was closer to 2.

My wife & I gave it to our two-year-old grandson, & our granddaughter, Meg, had twin boys about then so we told her and our son (the father) to just let Reese and Wesley share it when they get to be almost a year old:):) Also I think that it would be a very good gift for a three or four-year-old:):)

I gave it to my nephew who is 4.5 and he loved it. However, he's really switched on for this type of stuff.

It probably depends how big they are. My 4-year-old enjoys it... and he's not a big kid!

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 bought it for my son who had just turned 5. He loved it, but it's a lot of slow work for a five year old, and I had to help put the pieces together. I'd say it's ideal for kids between 7 and 10.

No... they'd have to put some effort into it. My 7 year old son and my 4 year old nephew use it just fine with no problems.

My grandson is 4, this was a collection he was working on, and the last one in the collection, He has cousins that are 12, 10 and 8 who are all collecting them too. I would say it would be a good gift for a boy between 4 & 8 and you would do well

I believe this is more appropriate for younger children. I bought it for my 2 & 5 year olds last year. They loved it, but the now-6 year old only has slight interest in it by now. Also, the average 8 year old might find the size a little small (but most kitchenettes I've seen in the stores are all about this size and age level).

hi--mine was bought as a Christmas gift--but I have seen it..it would be okay if the 3 year old were small for his age. I bought this for my grandson who just turned 2 years old yesterday. I am wondering how much use he will get out of it, as he is already 3 feet tall. So I would consider the size of the child before buying

I gave this toy to my son on his 1st birthday.... He is 4 now and has really put some good use to it over the years. I don't think there is any reason why a 1.5 year old shouldn't play with it.

Absolutely not! I bought it for my twins at 2yr2m and they are almost 4 now and still play with it. Definitely a good buy at that age.

I find this product pretty high. When my 4 year olds want to play on it I need to help them get on it as they cannot reach the higher side.The issue for your 3 and 5 year boys might be weight distribution, having the 5 year old controlling the up and down movements.Eventually kids today outgrow almost anything rather quickly. My kids after almost two months still likes to play on it but not on a daily basis.

I purchased this table for my great nephew for his second birthday and he will be three in March. He still plays with this set from time to time, but it's not his "go to" one. I don't think a four-year old's size would be too big for this toy but in terms of maturity, it might not hold his interest as long as you would like. I hope this helps.
