Is a very bright 11 year old boy too old for these?

No - my 11 year old plays with them all the time, makes so many different things with them we bought a second contraptions set as well - loves them both.

No, in fact, he might want more. As kids get older, their projects get more complex. Please look at these pics www(dot)dilgo(dot)ch.

I bought it for my 3 year old grandson. I don't know if it would be good for an eleven year old. By the time my grandson is eleven I would buy him a professional set if he still liked playing the drums. Tough call.

They would be too big for him. They fit really tight around your ears for my head but I'm an adult. I would not get them for a 12 year old. And they are easy to break so he has to be careful.

Yes, I bought them last year for my 11 year old ( which she loved). They are perfectly fine for an 8 yr old. They are comfortable and you just have to plug them into your device.

Absolutely! My son is 8 and he loves his. My husband and son both ply with theirs. So yes a 10 year old should have a great time. And these are a great teaching tool as well. They teach about electronics on a small scale but its all things that are applicable on a full scale automobile as well.

Richard, no, it is not too bright so if you do not have other lights I would suggest you go with 11 lights.

I purchased this set for my 4 yr grandson. I feel it would be too small for an 11 yr old.

How bright and saturated? Uh really depends on how bright the room is. If you are outside on a bright sunny day, probably won't impress much. I play with them inside with my kids in the evening and I think they are very bright. Durable enough for the classic seven forms? I have no idea what you are talking about, I can only tell you what it is like for a grown man to swing them. I would say they are very durable, enough so that a 10 year old can swing with all his might against me and I am using a good portion of strength, and they hold up just fine and have done so for almost a year now.

My son is 8 but I believe they will be perfect for your son. You can see there's a lot of flexibility in the size of the headphones to accommodate many ages. We love these headphones.

Sure they are, just charge them up, pick a channel, push the button and talk. Just try to keep them out of the weather like rain, mud and cold weather. I know how much abuse a 5 year old can give to a toy. but these are not toys and if you drop or kick'em around they are not going to last long.

Totally depends on the child but I would say probably. My 4 year old LOVES these. I could see kids up till maybe 7 thinking these are super cool. Older kids might like the idea of necklace making but I feel like these are geared more towards a younger child with less dexterity/coordination. The holes are large, the pieces are large.

My grandsons are 9 & 11 and LOVED them, but they would work for older kids too probably. Parents were maybe not so crazy about them because they are kind of loud, but fine for outdoor play.

If he likes lullaby music and lights that shine on the ceiling, then yes. I believe they have some that are more for boys, like the frog or the elephant. :)

I purchased them for my Grandson and they seem to work fine for him....he is only 6. :)

Yes, they should definitely last that long. I would guess the 12-16 hr estimate seems accurate if not longer. My kids go to bed by 8:30 and have left them on overnight and they are still flashing in the morning.
