I think that a 5 year would like it if it's new to him. I don't know how long he'd be intrigued, as he would probably put pieces together as they are supposed to go! It would depend upon the child. The major positive about Lego is that it stays together instead of falling apart as soon as you pick it up! It also can be washed if needed. I bought the set for my 2 year old great-grandson, but I, his father, 3 uncles, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather are or have been in engineering, and have played with him since he could hold things. He loves it, and puts the pieces together in all kinds of ways, so it looks different as he plays. He's also fascinated with trucks, dump trucks, trains and such.

I think it's more for 3-4 year olds. My 5 1/2 yr old grandson loves playing with his dad's old small lego sets. He loves the castle set, with horses and knights. He needs help putting things together, but then spends hours playing with them.

I bought if for a 4 yr old.....at first he needed some help following the instructions, but can pick out the right colors, shapes, sizes to make various models.....getting him ready for bigger lego projects in the future!

I don't think a five year old would have the motor skills to fly this. This is probably not a good toy for anyone under the age of 8-10.

I bought it for my granddaughter last year, she just turned 5 and loved it. She still plays with it.

This would not work for a 5 year old. My grandson was 3 and an average size child and he fit on it fine, but it can't handle any kind of playing on it without popping.

Yes. My son is 5 and loves it. It is just the right size. Small enough for him but big enough to last a couple of years. Scale of 1 to 10 we give it a 10+.

At the box, the manufacturer says between 3 and 8 years. My toy is for a 5 years old boy.

No I would say this would be better for ages 1 to 5. And it would have to be a small 5 year old.

I don't think this toy inappropriate for kids that old. My daughter is almost 5 yrs old. I think bigger kids will get a kick out of building towers and distroying them.

Yes it is perfect for Children 5 to 13. It is not a toy and has metal strings.

We bought it for our 10 year old grandson. He loved it! 5 years old might be ok, but you would have to set it up and give him some guidance on it.

I did purchase this as a gift for a 5 almost 6 yr old boy that was responsible enough for it. It the child is responsible with toys then I would say yes. If he is not responsible and just destroys everything then I would say no.

I would not recommend this Furby Boom for a 5 yr old, as stated on package for ages 6 or 7+. Just because something is cute doesn't mean it is an appropriate toy for a child younger than he age recommended for. We as adults need to monitor our child's learning tools/play toys.

Yes, I would say that the weight would be OK for a five year old; It's pretty light. However, there are three settings, and an on/off switch on the other side of the device. I'm not sure a five year old would be able to operate the thing--unless someone spent time showing them how.

No, this item is meant for very young children. I would say up to 5 years old.

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

I bought the toy for my youngest grandson who is turning 5. I believe he will need some help with it initially but it should be in his range of ability.

Yes. I bought this for my 3 year old. She's now 5, and still loves to play with it.
