My son just turned 4. Is he too young for this? He lives and breathes construction. I think he would like this more than a plastic work bench.

HI, there...we bought this for our grandson when he was five and it was just fine. He's a small Korean child and it wasn't too big for him. We felt it was a really nice, quality product and more like a real work bench than a toy. We were really happy with it. He's had a great time with it.

I don't think he's too young because it's only a table. It can be folded, probably unlike a plastic one. If he loves construction he will grow with this because the height can be changed. It's very cute in that it's a real work bench, with places for his stuff.

Hi as long as he has adult supervision and u don't but the original tools it is perfect, my nephew was 5 when he got his and loves it.

We gave this to my son when he turned 5. He loves it and because of the solid metal construction, he will be able to use it for years to come.

My four year old LOVED it. We had a great time putting it together and 10 months later he still loves it. We got one for our 3.5 year old and he loves it too. Very well made. If he loves "restruction" like my boys do, he'll be thrilled!

i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10. You could probably go there and see if they have it in order to see it first-hand. i bought it a while ago soon after my son turned 2. we use it at the kitchen table when making art projects. i still use his high chair when eating since he does not resist sitting it in still. i think if i sat him in the booster seat i would have a mess on my floor :-) my son sits very well in this seat - he is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 28 pounds, and (I'm not totally sure on his height) is a little short for his age. i feel that this booster seat will last at least 2 more years for him. fyi...i saw this exact seat at Walmart the other day for just over $10.

This model takes a lot of patience and time. I don't think the age is too young. All kids are different. The instructions get a little "fuzzy" at times, but a little common sense prevails. Good luck and ENJOY.

i would have to agree that it it probably for a child aged 8 or above who is mechanically inclined. lots of small parts. need patience and the ability to work with mechanical objects. my 12 year old got it last year (?) and now has already out grown it.....but he is very "engineer minded". he creates new and wonderful things with these pieces, his lego technics and his k-nex.

I think if he's a young 2 year old then it is probably too big but if he's 2.5 almost 3 then it should be fine. It takes some coordination and I'm not sure a young 2 year old would know how to work/control the handles.

I'm probably not a good person to ask as I let my grandkids use this and other tools as long as I'm watching. Being outside and using this blower or hammering on a nail or picking up pecans is better than them sitting in front of a TV or computer. In short, yes I think it would be ok for a 4 year old to use with supervision.

I think a five year old would still like it, since you can build an unlimited number of things. It is difficult for my 3 year old to put the objects together by himself, so a 4-6 year old would probably be the right age.

in my opinion, he may be a little big for it. I usually give it as a 1st bday gift, although 1 1/2-2 appears to be the best age for it. I am not sure of the height from the ground b/c I give it as gifts. That being said, I have seen it used up to the age of 4, just depends how tall and flexible the kids are

I'm sure he would still like the set, but don't know for how long. It is more for the younger guy. When my guy was younger he loved them, he's now 4 and will on occasion pull them out but really prefers his die cast and wooden trains.

This one would be great for him, my son was 3 when I bought it and strong/athletic. However, my neighbor has one where the front wheel actually turns & it's way easier for the kids to maneuver. I kinda wish I had that one, but my son still loves his, too

I got this for my 4 year old grandson. He loved it and had no problem putting it together. Just keep in mind it may not be suitable for all four year olds, it might depend on their attention span.

I think it's a great ideas for boys that age. Especially if play time is indoors. I would buy the large sets though. Like with the helicopter attachments etc. And be sure to order enough because it takes many peices to build certain structures. This could lead to fighting if there aren't enough peices for individual projects. For example if one wants to build a castle and the other a helicopter. More is better in this case from my experience.

We're parents, and we thought he was entertaining. My 3 year old loves him and can steer him very easily. I'd think that a 5-6 year old might want something a little more advanced, but for 2-4, this is great (and it's sturdy!)

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...

Hi Spencer, My son who is 13 bought this to put together. He has really enjoyed it but it is a lot of parts. I think you would enjoy it as long as you have a space to build it where you can leave it and go back to it. It is very time consuming. Good luck!

My son is almost nine months and does not love it nearly as much as he used to. I personally would not buy it at this age for him, but it was great for the earlier months.

My Son was 3 years old. He enjoyed this. He also liked it for a while. But after that, just like any other toys, it is also not used much in these days. My 5 years old daughter also liked. But we thought it was a little small bike for her. I would have definitely recommnded for a <=4 year old kid. For 5 year old, this is not a big NO though.
