Can an eight year old handle this?

We are using these for our students ages 18-21 with disabilities, some of which are pretty extreme. They seem to handle it well and are making some very nice hats which we are actually selling. I think an 8 yr old can work this.

Yes. I am am nine, and I love it! An eight year-old could definitely play with it.

I think an 8-year old will not be as impressed with this as a 5-year old (my daughter's age). The radio has the voice-changing features, which my whole family (parents included) got a kick out of; but that might be the only feature that entices an 8-year old to play with it.

I think it would be fine for a typical 8 year old, as long as some presets are made with the lenses. Some of the controls are quite delicate, so training would be required.

Depending on your childs ability. I do think an 8 year old could eventually master the controls, but I think it is a little advanced for an 8 year old. I bought it for my 13 year old and it took him a little bit to master the training level and is now struggling to master the speed setting. I hope this helps.

yes big enough for 8 year old; but not big enough through high school, depending on how big your child is.possibly until around 14

My guess would be yes - they are small enough and lightweight. I don't have legos or I would give it a try. Similar to using a broom there is nothing sharp or potentially dangerous. It's a handy tool. And kinda fun to use. I think that picking up legos with it would be fun for your 8 year old (at least at first :)

Yes it's very very user friendly. An 8 year old would have no trouble. battery and charger is included.

I think it would be great for an 8 y.o. boy. These are definitely not toys. They are real tools. I (the mom) actually use them when I need a tool. They are very functional and a great size for kids.

Honestly not really. My 8 year old struggles with it. My 10 year old has no problems. It is a sturdy gun though and well made.

It's fine for my 5 year old, but too flimsy for my 8 year old. Definitely made for the 2-4 range and my five y o is pushing it.

Probably not. If he likes to build things it will be good for him. My nephews are 8 and they love it and rarely put them down.

Yes it will accommodate an 8 year old. I have had kids from age 16 months to 9 year olds.

Yes, I bought this for my 8 year old, same weight, and it is great. It appears to be sturdy and well made.

I honestly would not by this for an 8 year old. I did let my daughter use it when she was 8 but she is on the smaller side. This was purchased for a 4 year old who is now about 5.5 and still uses it occasionally. I see it last MAYBE 2 more years before we pass it on.

I'm so sorry Linda just responding to your question. It depends if your eight year old is quite small for a third grader. But, I think typically these drums are for younger kids. The stool is low and this can help if your child is tall. I hope this helps.

Hello! Sorry but I can not advise you if the scooter is or not appropriate for an 8 year old child ... my son is 5 years old and it is perfectly fine for him. I am not sure if the scooter will be suitable for him when he's older.
