Would this be good for an older child interested in Legos? My daughter is 9 and just really starting to love legos.

Yes I think it would be great for building legos, blocks or train sets! We love ours for rebuilding new train tracks. It's sturdy and the perfect size. It has room underneath for bins too. I highly recommend. Hope that helps!

This is probably too low for a 9 year old. She might be hunched over even sitting on the floor. My 3 year old uses it for Legos (and trains, hex bugs, etc) and my 6 year old a bit with a low chair. If it isn't too low it probably will be before too long. My 6 yo daughter already tending to do Legos on dining room table.

I don't think this would be good for a 9 year old. Too low and it's hard to seat upfront of it...

My son is 5, and some times it is hard for him to assemble the models. I have latelly recognized that he enjoys better easier legos that are easy for him to manipulate and he builds much more creative things than if I get him "age appropiate or older kind of legos". The zoob legos are very nice, however some times it is frustrating for him that his creations break while he plays with them...

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.

My is 5 years old & he is no longer finding it challenging, not enough pieces to build. I think the issue is you need lots of pieces to build something challenging but lots of pcs means lots of money. :-( My daughter (2 1/2) is playing with it right now. Hope this help.

I purchased this for my daughter right around 1 yr old and she has not been that into it. I do think it is a bit advanced. My 6 yr old likes to play with it. I think your daughter would enjoy it now and for a bit to come. It is rather small, which I prefer. It doesn't take up a lot of room, yet it has a lot of activities.

I bought it for my 5 year old grandson, varying sizes of Legos, it has something for every age. A lot of pieces.

Yes and no. By itself "starter set" just means it has everything a kid would need to have bunch of different vehicles and such to play with at once instead of buying multiple sets. Normally Lego does only one vehicle or such in a set that cheap but this way a kid can play with just one set and have enough to enjoy it. As for the age, once a kid is good with Lego everything is easy so it just becomes a function of whether it's something he'd enjoy.

Absolutely not. I have a 10 year old boy and he's made some pretty complicated stuff with his Legos and this is the set he picked for this coming Christmas!

I wouldn't assume so... My son is 8, and he was around that age when he really started enjoying Legos. The instructions are very clear and they make it easy for a child to follow them. I hope that helps!

My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

I think that if the 10-year-old likes to "put stuff together and make things work", it's a great educational toy for that age! The pieces are color-coded and also marked with letters/numbers and the instructions tell you in which order to place the pieces together. I don't think it is too elementary for a 10 year old to start with.

Yes. Definitely! Particularly if they like Legos and they like the Hobbit. It's open in the back so you can play. My son was 10 when he got it and he loved it. Lots of fun and rare pieces.

One of our kids turns 3 tomorrow, he likes legos more than duplos. As long as your kids are out of the "put every toy in my mouth" phase, you should be in the clear

It depends on how much experience the person who will be building it has. An eight year old child who has already built a couple of sets would probably be able to build it fine, but if the child is inexperienced with legos then ages nine or ten would be best.

If your kid likes Legos, no matter what age, the kid will love this set. I wouldn't buy it for kids who put Legos in their mouth and could choke on the parts, but I would buy it for age 5 or 6+ and who love Legos. It's a pretty cool Lego set.

I bought this set for myself (age 40), but my daughter (age 4) found it and laid claim to it. The beach house has held up very well. I wouldn't consider the legos bricks any less quality than I have played with in last 40(ish) years.

I think so - there is enough little things about it that the 2-3 year old would stay interested in it. I would say about three it would be time to invest in a different one. The product is so durable though it would hold up for more kids wanting to play with. I do not think you would regret it!
