EveLyn These kits are easy to put together and holdtogether firmly.They have good instructions that show principles. The meter inluded in this set is very practical and gives information llustrating what is happening as thins are chaged.

Yes, I would say so. We gave these to our grandsons who are interested in constructing and figuring out how things work. This is an excellent toy to learn about electricity and there are a lot of projects to experiment with. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! I gave as a bday gift to my 9 yr old nephew and he loves it. He plays with another girl of the same age and they really enjoy it.

Well, I have twin 8 yr. old granddaughters, and a 12 yr old grandson, and they liked them. I think it would be a wonderful gift. And nice for the girls to have something besides dolls to play with. Our girls need to learn to be engineers and architects and designers.

The larger 750 kit definitely would be appropriate for a 12 yr old. I don't know what the recommeded ages say on the box, but I bought the 100 set 1st for a 5 1/2 and 7 yr old and quickly got the next size up 300 ! The 750 would make a great first present !

I bought it for my 3 year old daughter and we love them. If she is a petite 8 year old, she should be fine for a few years. My 12 year old niece does not fit comfortably in them.

I think that depends on your grand daughter's preferences. If she is into doll houses and 'playing house' then she may like it. Honestly, I bought this when my daughter was really young. She is now four and actually prefers to play with the little dolls without the house. I actually have a smaller folding Melissa and Doug doll house, which she prefers. I am thinking this item...the deluxe wooden house is a good size for an eight year old. If she is into art, she might like painting it too. I hope I was of some help.

Yes, they should be just fine for an 8 year old, unless he/she has very small hands. The balls are a little smaller then a tennis ball. My son (who is 45 years old), uses them and they have helped him termendously. I wish you the best. Sally

My daughter is 11. THey are perfect for her. Not too big, not too small either.

It depends on how big she is! My daughter wears a 4T and the dresses are just slightly too big for her. Unless your 8 year old is tiny, probably not.

My kids are 10 and 12 and they play well on it. I would think this is good fit for kids 6 and over.

I'd say 8+. Maybe 10+. Kids younger than 8 will have problems. Adults will enjoy as well.

I got this for an 8 yr old girl who is very athletic. It was very appropriate for her, and it's not one of those junky toys. I'd say it's too much for a 5 year old...they aren't as coordinated at that age. I did see several other archery sets on Amazon that would probably work for a 5 yr old...much simpler and easier to use.

My daughter is seven and wears it comfortably. I would think it would fit an average 8 year old but not a whole lot bigger than that.

Yes I think it would be too young for a 12year old. I bought it for 5 & 6 year olds.

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.

My daughter is 12 and absolutely loves it. I think it is good for up to pre-teens. Teenagers would enjoy it for a time, but would probably lose interest after awhile.

this is for 5-12 year olds so yes its fine for an 8 year old but anyone concerned too I would go with the teen/adult one which is similar. on their website here. http://www.microkickboard.com/young-adult-teen-scooters/3-wheeled

It is for kids ages 8 and up. But I think younger kids could use it as well.

I bought these for eight year olds and they fit perfectly. I would be hesitant to purchase them for younger kids.
