what age group is this for?

I use it in my 3 and 4 year old preschool classroom. It would be ideal for a Pre-K, Kindergarten or first grade room. You must put in a code for each slide so my 3's find that difficult, but they learn how to do it. You are limited to a finite number of slides and they are insects. You cannot use other slides with it, so a real microscope would be best for older kids.

My son is 4 and he gets a kick out of the slides putting them in and setting the buttons to hear the facts my 5 year old likes it but mores quicker

It says here that other slides cannot be used, however on amazon there are pre-made slides that you can buy, that "are frequently" bought together with this microscope. I understand that this scope will not talk about these other slides, but can one look at other slides under this scope?

Personally I think 7-12. But more mature 5 and 6 year olds could do it and like it too.

My 3 yr old and my 6 yr old boys both like playing with this. I would say about 3-8yrs old is the age range.

The manufacturer says 12 months to 5 yrs. I bought this for my 1 yr old grandson and he loves it. I have a 4 yr old grandson and he has no interest in it. I think 5 is way too old for this. My opinion, the age group is more like 12 months to 3 yrs.

I bought it for my 1 1/2 yr old but my 4 year old plays with it. I'd say 3-4 yrs is the age range for this.

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

I don't know what age group but my son is almost 2 and LOVES it. He plays with it in his lap and runs the bow over the strings.

I would say its more for 3-4 year olds. My cousins are 3 and 5 and the the 3 year old loved it ...but the 5 was looking for more

Hello, I've just spied this in my e-mail. I would say appropriate age range is 1 year to 91...I find the adults enjoy it as much.

I bought this when my little one was just over 2 years. It was intended for his older brother who was just over 4 years old. The 2 year old played with it more than his older brother and still does 1 1/2 years later. Depends on the kid but my 2 year old played with it quite a bit.

When child can carry on at least a limited conversation... Age doesn't matter, 4-14 and adults who like cool toys :)

I bought it for my 2 year old niece. The parts are small so you must supervise that age group. Ideally it would be closer to 4-6 years olds-unsupervised.

Not surr but my 4 yr old does great with it..i would guess 3-12 or even a little older. Lots of fun for the whole family.

I would say 3 or 4 years of age and up. Also, nice for adults and others under stress

We gave it to my nephew who is 2. My son (almost 5) loves playing with it too. I'd say 2-6 is probably a good age range.

Hi Carol, in my case the age group is between 7 and 14 years old. The pounds are aprox 200. Good product.

Our grandchildren all play with it, and they are ages 2-8. The 8 year old girl only plays with it when playing with little cousins. I think 3-5 is ideal.
