Is there any inappropriate words or phrases for younger children?

From what we've experienced no, but we haven't quit gone through more than 200 words and the game has over 5,000 phrases. I have 3 middle school children who play. Hope that helps!

My youngest is 11 and she struggled a little bit but she did know quite a few. I'm not sure it would work for younger children.

No! I used to play it with my 4 and 6 year old. It's a great game and good way to incorporate fun with relevant learning.

I would say no, but young children always manage to find the unexpected. I would say if a child is involved not recommended.

Yes, "diaper, thirsty, eat," and many other practical words are taught. That is pretty much why I bought the videos. I wanted to promote communication before my son could speak the words. At this point, he is learning the signs and words simultaneously, but the videos are great for providing repeated exposures to new vocabulary. As a reading specialist, I know how important this is. The back of each video tells exactly which words are incorporated.

It is more appropriate for grades 2 and up. Our 5 1/2 year old only knew a few of the answers.

I just flipped through all the cards to be sure, and yes, they are. There are no inuendo's or references to offensive material (at least none that I noticed). I actually had the most fun playing with my 7 and 8 year old cousins, and I would say its a family friendly game.

I would go with teenage and up, too. A younger kid would know all the words and people, I think, but may have a hard time describing them compared to adults.

Some of the pieces are a bit on the small side and the manufacturer states not younger than 4 years old. It was a great present for a 3 year old, but her 1 year old brother would have to be monitored at all times when in the "block room". I would hate to say 100% safe for a 7 mos. old. Sorry.

as long as he is past putting every thing in his mouth it should be fine. It's messy for all ages till around 5 and you can insist they clean it themselves. Worth the mess considering how much kids enjoy it.

This book would be suitable for a child 10 and up as some words may be too difficult. Hope this helps.

They are quite likely manipulable by a 2yo, but there are smaller pieces, and the warning on the set is "not for children under 3" and the bucket is recommended for 5+ (got them for our 7yo, but our 4yo whizzed through them.) If you have an "eater" or your child explores the world by taste... then absolutely not. Otherwise, it's counter to mfg recommendation.

I am very careful about what language we use around the kids and the only issue I had was Jagger saying "I hate ..." when he was talking in the dinosaur mode. Our kids are not allowed to use the word hate (they are 4 and 5.5) as we do not believe it belongs in their vocabulary. Other than that, Jagger's pretty harmless and a huge success in this house! ... We JUST NOW opened it :)

I think the youngest appropriate age would be about 5 or 6. My 6 year old nephew played it pretty easily.

I bet that's a typo and it's for children ages 4+. I have my minion right next to me andI tugged on his hair, glasses, hands and feet, and none of the parts came off...I don't see a choking hazard here. He is the BEST!

In my opinion yes. Younger than that no, because one of ours had the rubber-band that goes around the finger come off somehow and I would be afraid of a younger child putting that in their mouth. I do have a 13 month old and she looked at it for a bit while I held her, but it didn't really interest her.

Depends on the child. If they still put things in their mouth I would say no. Our grandson, if I remember correctly, started really playing with them around 4 1/2.

I would say no. It is designed to be cognitively appropriate for children 18 months and older, but my 20 month old wasn't interested. If your one year old just likes sounds, this would work. If you want it to be educational, I would say pass.
