Can anyone recommend something similar to this, but for a girl who's ten? This seems just a little too simple for her.

Snap Circuits (lots of different selections)- amazing toy and much better for 10+. My 8 and 11 year olds love this toy (boy and girl).

I agree 100% with Snap Circuits. My older daughter has gotten a great deal of use out of those.

They're few books out there. You can even try them out from your local library. I would suggest YouTube first. That's where my daughter gets all her ideas.

Unsure, but have you looked into the Jolly Jumper? My daughter loves that thing. Now that was worth the cost.

I think you should try the Aqua Tot - especially since she's been doing lessons. My daughter is similar in height/weight and it worked perfectly for her so she can move around more than if she was in an inflatable.

My daughter-in- law recommended this for her youngest daughter who is 5 for a Christmas present. I bought it on a sale. She already builds stuff with logs &thought; this would be ideal. So, don't know if this is helpful, but we'll know more on Christmas. :-)

I do believe that this is perfect for that age range. Lol when I bought it the colors weren't as bright as I wanted so I ended up having my sisters (twins that are ten and a 16 year old) practice with it.

Hi,My kids love it but they are 11 and 8. I use it too.It may be a little difficult for a five year old and may frustrate them. I would wait. Try the ez glider. I have that too and is super easy and fun.

We found that the best reward was a one-on-one time. She loved alternating with the two of us due to work schedules, school events, etc. I agree that material items are not necessary and we tend to forget that just some extra attention is great. You could try (if its a girl) maybe spa time with toe painting or even going to a local ceramic store and making a project together. Also, Lowe's and Home Depot have great free workshops for kids on one Saturday a month. Hope these help!

I think this is ideal for a younger child. Probably too small for your daughter at 4 1/2 - she would need something larger.

A 10 year old would like it, but I don't think it would hold her interest for every long. I purchased one for my 7 year old and she quickly got bored with it.

I believe this is more appropriate for younger children. I bought it for my 2 & 5 year olds last year. They loved it, but the now-6 year old only has slight interest in it by now. Also, the average 8 year old might find the size a little small (but most kitchenettes I've seen in the stores are all about this size and age level).

I gave it to my daughter when she turned 10. You might have to help load the string... But she should be able to work it. She loved it. And it stores well. She also got the plastic loop bracelet maker at the same time. The plastic loop one seemed easier but she liked the look of this one better.

My mom told me she wanted to get my older girls these [ages 5.5 and 8.5] I told her to get the Leap Pad since they have games to age 9. I would think my 8 year old would be bored.

No she is not too big for this! Unless she is really really tall for a 6 year old...haha...but this should be perfect for her! Im sure she will love it!!

My granddaughter is the loomer, aged 10, and she does it all with YouTube videos, starting from simple, going to complex, and now designing her own. The videos walk you through the process, and you can replay, watch hooks and fingers, etc., at your own speed. Use those bands!

8 might be a bit old unless she has expressed interest. It's pretty simple and low-tech so lends well to pretend play. I gave this to my 3 yr old granddaughter and she might be too young but she does a lot of pretend play with it when she does play with it.

This is the only one I'm familiar with. I can tell you that my 8 year old daughter did get on this and ride around when we gave it to her cousin for Christmas, but it's way too small for her. I would search for one a little taller than this one for a 7 year old.
