For what age do you feel this is appropriate? My daughter (8) has been talking a lot about designing costumes and does some of her own drawings.

This activity is very appropriate for an 8 year old. It has a nice age span of about 6 to 12. I bought it for my granddaughter in June. My girls had one 30 years ago and wanted it for the granddaughter!

My two granddaughters, aged 6 and 11, spend hours making dress designs. They show case them to me when I get up from my nap. I told them that we would take pictures of the drawings and make a photo/picture book! Okay, I'm 64, and I love this toy.

Seriously...I'm knocking on the door of 40, and I even enjoy playing with it with my daughters (3 and 13)...it's for any age.

I think that an 8 year old would love this. It's easy to use, a great travel toy, and they have the chance to be very creative.

If they are already into modelling kits this would be good for any age. Wouldn't be a good first kit for a kid under 12.....

I wouldn't give this to a 9 year old. Perhaps I'm a bit old fashioned, but I think this is more for teenagers who are experimenting with the look they wish to achieve as a young adult. It would be suitable for a teenager's slumber party. When my daughter was 9 I purchased a much more "fun" pack (at least to her) for playing with in preparation for Halloween type makeup or other dress up. She was pretty imaginative and was more interested in being a lion, mouse, ghost, than a miniature adult. She was never into the "little princess thing." Hope this is helpful.

I think you can start as soon you feel they are old enough to appreciate it it! My daughter is 11 and still loves it , Although we just started tradition last year, this is a whole new thing for us.

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults!

Definitely age 8 through about 12. My 11 year old loved it, but she is really into crafts.

In my opinion, yes! The child already knows shapes and colors....go for it!

This is a pre-painted model (but painting it will make it look better) but the rigging is a little advanced for most kids. Unless they are really used to models and such, I would say this isn't for children.

ages between 11-17 is what I suggest. My son is 16 and really enjoyed building this model. He gave it great detail while painting...

Certainly the projects are appropriate for that age. My oldest is 3 1/2 but he is almost four feet tall. He just carried the whole workshop out of his bedroom and into the hall, lol. It is small, but he loves it. My friend's four year old girl loved playing with the tools too! I think it'll be fine.

Absolutely! My 6 yr old just turned seven and he loves collecting and the challenges of transforming the figures, I hope this was helpful.

Yes it is good for a wide age range. I have the younger ones draw a story or just say it verbally.

I just bought it. And my little girl is turning 7.. and she still fits in tjere pretty good. Doubt she will fit by the age of 8 ..

I think it would be fine. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson. As long as he or she loves to draw, this will be enjoyed and it is very well made.

The item is definitely sturdy and I trust it will last. But I think it may be too much for a 4-year old, since their play with make-up is more experimental and they could easily "decorate" the item with lipstick, eye shadow, etc. For a 4-year old I would recommend more of a play make-up stand. I think it would be appropriate for a tween and would definitely be an item that could be used for a number of years as the tween grows and develops more interest in using make-up.

I guess it kind of depends on the 2 year old. We bought this for our granddaughter when she was two. She has a very vivid imagination and she enjoyed it greatly. Even if they are a little young they will quickly grow into it. (And, if Sophie is any indication, have a great deal of fun!)

I think an 8-year-old might be too old/big for this kitchen. I bought it for my then-3-year-old, for whom it is perfect. I teach 2nd grade, so am fairly familiar with what 8-year-olds like, and my advice would be to pursue a larger model...
