Up to how old is it good for? My son is 15 and loves thinking and logic. Is it too easy for him?

I bought that for my grand daughter who was 9 at the time. I think it might have been too advanced for her and her parents have put it away. I honestly can't remember too much about what was involved except I thought it was very cleverly done. If I remember correctly, it didn't cost much - probably a good stocking filler. Sorry I can't be more help.

No, this game is great for anyone interested in a challenge of logic. It has easy, intermediate, and advanced cards so you can pick the difficulty, but even the easy cards are challenging. Good game for anyone over 8.

It has different difficulties, it's very enjoyable, but once you run out of the cards (they have the challenges on them) it gets kind of redundant. But if that happens to your son maybe he can come up with new challenges and put them up online for others to try.

Hi,My daughter received it at 18 months, and each child is different. If she has interest in putting things together (pegs and puzzle pieces) and can manipulate her hands to take the items apart, I would recommend it. It has the little pegs that stick together and can fit into little holes on shapes. It does have bright colors and shapes to talk about. I am unsure of how long the 15 mo old would play with it, so I would have a back up for a long flight.Have a blessed day!

My almost-10-year old loves it and so do I. He is good at math, though. If your child struggles with math, it might be more difficult (less fun?) for an 8-9 year old.

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.

I Alyse, I gave it to my nephew on his birthday when he completed 2 years old. He knew how to use the pedals, but use the steer wheel was a lil confusing. However, I think if your son practices four or five times, he will be fine. By the way, it is a great present to share with other kids.

I actually think a child who has a better understanding for money and can do some arithmetic will enjoy this more than my 5 year old, who is just starting to learn the basics of addition. I sure hope mine will functioning when she will be 7 years old. Hope this helps you.

I think it's a great ideas for boys that age. Especially if play time is indoors. I would buy the large sets though. Like with the helicopter attachments etc. And be sure to order enough because it takes many peices to build certain structures. This could lead to fighting if there aren't enough peices for individual projects. For example if one wants to build a castle and the other a helicopter. More is better in this case from my experience.

Yes. My son was just a little over 2 when he got his. Now some games are challenging for him and requires help from a parent or his 5yr old brother; but for the most part he learned how to use it very quickly on his own!

My grandson is 7, and he is very interested on how things works and problem solves. I got the snap circuit 300 for him figuring it had a lot more options for him. Not sure what age your looking for.

I believe it's recommended for 1 year n up. My Grandson is 1 and he has figured it out, however the counting and alphabet will come later. He will be able to use it for several years

I've played it with an 11- and 13-year-old, who are very smart! However, they also skipped a lot of words they didn't know, so as long as you let children do that, there are plenty of words/phrases that they can use.

The short answer is that she's probably on the old side for this. My son is now 11 and while he does still tinker with it, I would need to purchase the add on kits to keep his interest. While I think it was a pretty good product, it didn't really fulfill what I had in mind as far as teaching him about electricity and circuitry. It is a bit like one of those science kits, it does something interesting, but doesn't really teach them why. I honestly think this would be a better age range for 6-10 year old's. Hope that helped, good luck and take care.

I think a smart 8-year old is very close to being on the outer edge of a kid who could appreciate this. I, too, have a smart 8-year old and she can be entertained by it from time to time, but not for long and really has outgrown it. Sorry, but not sure what a better, similar item would be. Hope that helps.

I got the nabi2 for my son right before his 6th birthday and he's 7 now. I think it's great for his age range. His BFF also has it who is a few months older. I would say 5 maybe 4 & up. For younger they have Nabi Jr. & older they have the Nabi XD I believe it's called. Hope I helped! Oh & my son was dealing with learning struggles & this has programs that he was able to work with fine.

This model takes a lot of patience and time. I don't think the age is too young. All kids are different. The instructions get a little "fuzzy" at times, but a little common sense prevails. Good luck and ENJOY.

I'd say that it's good for a child 7 yrs and up. My son is 8 and has been playing it for a while.

The games are not very challenging for older children. In my opinion it is programmed for children ages 3-6. My son is 8 and shows no interested in it, however, all children's interests and learning capacities differ from age to age. My 4 year old gets the most use out of the Vtech laptop.
