YES! (with assistance from an adult or older sibling, etc). My son started doing snap-circuits at 4. He LOVES them. He's 5 now. After doing some of the projects with guidance/ assistance, he sometimes creates his own mini-projects.

The project format is straightforward: just snap the pieces together as in the diagram, and it will work as described. But somebody will need to read the operating directions. The product is very enjoyable: I am almost 68 years old and have fun building the projects and sharing them with my grandchildren. They even ask to try a few when they visit. Great price from Amazon.

Yes, it is a great size for ages 4-5. We had a time putting this together! I hope you have better luck.

The larger crayons are made for more aggressive hands that may not have fine motor skills yet. They are less likely to break and they will not be used up as quickly. If the 4 year old has good motor skills and can understand working delicately, then these would be just fine.

No, I don't think this would work for a 4 year old. It fits my 2.5 year old perfectly.

Hi this is a great toy and for sure son will love this toy. No your son is not too young to play this toy its just right for him i think. Hope this help.

I think it would do great! I find it to be well built and 4 year olds typically know how to treat things nicely. If it gets involved in an occasional temper tantrum, I think it will hold up just fine.

I would be a little hesitant with a 4 year old. It does require some strength to cock, and is pretty forceful. You may spend a lot of time loading it for him, then getting hit at close range.

No it's not. It's a lot thinner and not very bright it has to be close to a wall. But my 4 yr old absolutely loves it! So I guess it was a successful buy!

It's bright enough to see but not obnoxiously bright. You can change the level of brightness as well. My son loves his.

I find this product pretty high. When my 4 year olds want to play on it I need to help them get on it as they cannot reach the higher side.The issue for your 3 and 5 year boys might be weight distribution, having the 5 year old controlling the up and down movements.Eventually kids today outgrow almost anything rather quickly. My kids after almost two months still likes to play on it but not on a daily basis.

I think it is perfect for 3 or 4 year old. My son is 5 now. He want a fast one which the wheel made of rubber instead of plastic. So when he turn 5 . This one may not good for him.

Yes and yes...it's bright and clear for a young child. It's an excellent tool for teaching.

I would say it is appropriate. It's not very big at all, and it has 2 settings for brightness. It was a good lantern, though I wound it too fast and broke it...but it was very sturdy, otherwise

Absolutely! My 3 y/o grandson tinkers with it, but I believe the prime age (to understand all the imagination invoking features) is best suited to the 4 - 7 year old age range and possibly older. Right now he likes turning the light on and screwing in the screws (by hand) into the workbench holes and the prefabbed word-look building materials that come with it.

If they're used to sleeping on a standard pillow, yes, this might be too small. If not, I think it would still work, especially for your 4-year old. To give you a better idea: this pillow fits across the width of a standard pillowcase and the end would fold under it almost exactly (so it's half the size of a standard case). Hope that helps!

Yes it would be okay for 3-4 year old. My one year old likes it but doesn't understand the concept of it yet.

My son did. He was younger than 6 but he really liked the lights. If your son loves to sing and likes lights, he will love this item.
