What age range do you recommend to handle these?

13 and up. It takes two to send one up. One to hold the lantern and one to light it. Both individuals would then hold the lantern while it heats up and eventually lifts. You could have an adult and a younger child do this together, but I would say an adult and an 8 year old would probably be the youngest I would recommend.

I have two sisters they are 4 and 6 and all I have to do is light the wax then they hold them and let them go as long as they know not to touch the hot wax for any age they are very fun

Just standing, I bet you could 40 three year olds, easily. Just Kidding. I'd say 5 playing comfortably. Hope that helps.

I would put an age of 3+. No end age since this could benefit a child who needs to increase and build on poor motor function. Hope this helps.

they are not for very small children, I gave mine (5 of them) to the men and boys but our 4 year old grandchild figured out how to make them work and had a great time.. they're not really to handle, but rather to scoot around the floor and, if you have two, to do battle.. for being plastic they are pretty sturdy and WAY fun!!

Depends on where your child is at developmentally, but my opinion is for around age 3.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

I don't recommend them to any age because the product itself isn't that great. Our boys have fun with them though. Age 5 and 7 when we purchased them, now 8 and 10.

Yes they would work great for any age. Just make sure each kid gets their own!

I think they would be fine for a 3 year old, as there are no small parts and they are really fun. I think a small would be fine for a 3 year old

I would say any age as long as there is an adult there for the really little ones. Out neighbor is three and loves it.

I would say best ages are 3 - 5. My grandson is 3 so I know we will get our money's worth

I would say ages 6 to 11 or 12. Younger children would need supervision because they are real tools - just smaller. Children under age 6 might hurt themselves with a sharp point, or a hammered finger. When this kit is given as a gift it would be a good idea to have some wood pieces handy or a project kit because the child will want to start using them right away.

I would suggest teen+. Even at just 55lb draw strength, that's too much for most children.

I'd say 2-5 yr olds. My 4.5 yr old still loves it, but some things will be almost too small soon. My 2 yr old loves it but some things are a little too fragile for her and she damages things.

I would say 6 yrs old but with supervision. My great nephew is 6 and can handle it pretty well but he is advanced for his age. By themselves I would say at least 8 yrs old. You need a place that is wide open and no drafts or it will crash. We do it in the basement where it is wide open but not near vents. Any air movement will cause you to lose control.

Most definitely. I would think that's the perfect age. I have two and my granddaughter is only 16 months. Hardly old enough to hand them to her as a toy. But she giggles at them when I hold her on my lap and we play with them. She definitely has it figured out how to feed the little guys!EDITED: to say: After reading the comment left by CandaceMacan24 , I may agree that 5 and above may even be a better age group than 4 - she makes some good points. Depends on the kid. As a side note, My 16 month old GD isn't scared by it.

It really depends on the size of your child; but I would guess between the ages of 4 to 8.
