best age for this kit?

We purchased for a nine year old. I would say seven and up depending on the child.

Anywhere from 9 to 13 or 14. Even older kids could have fun with some of the sleight of hand tricks if they're into entertaining friends. It's a great set as a starter too, good value because you get a LOT of different stuff. It'd be a terrific Chrustmas/holiday gift. I got it for my 11 year old grandson who fell in love with magic after seeing Steve Carroll in The Amazing But Wonderstone. Enjoy!

Debbie: Bought this for our seven-year-old grandson and he LOVED it. I think ages six to nineare fine. Good luck. You are going to have the most fun with your child doing magic shows for you.

The manufacturer says 10 and up. But, my grandson is 8 and loves it. If you child reads well, I'd say 7 to 12.

It depends on how much experience the person who will be building it has. An eight year old child who has already built a couple of sets would probably be able to build it fine, but if the child is inexperienced with legos then ages nine or ten would be best.

Hi, in my opinion there's nothing in the set that an 18mth old would have any issues with. He would probably love to join in! The parts are big and its easy to clip together. I hope this helps with your decision.

personally, i would say age 3 to 6, but older kids might like it too, like if they are visiting your house, or helping a younger kid with it. my daughter is 5 1/2 and still plays with it often. of course she has the motor skills down, but she still is entertained by making designs, and just using the tools, really.

This one may be a little lengthy for that age as a first model. I would recommend something like a Revell Spitfire, or one of their other smaller, Vintage birds. Minimal pieces, and a little soft on the wallet in the event that they lose interest. If they show a liking towards modeling, perhaps purchase this as a second kit.

I would say 6 years old... I bought it for my 4 year old and he gets easily frustrated with this set! It falls apart/ breaks easily!

My son is 6 and it fits him good But once he started drum lessons we have realized it's too small. To play on its fine for him but definitely not if your interested In learning to play well. I would say go the next step up for anyone over 8 years old.

I'm not sure about age recommendations. My son was 19 months when he started

This might be a bit too complex for a first model. I would suggest one of the Snap-Tite kits that are also available on Amazon. The F/A-18E will be a good kit after the young modeler has assembled a few of the simpler kits first.

A six year old should be fine with this overall. There may be a few pieces that require more dexterity however the majority of the pieces should be just fine for someone age 6. Many hours of creative fun!

I would say it's appropriate for kids age 3 to 6. It's a good quality set. I bought it for my son when he was 6. He's 7 1/2 now and his drum instructor says he needs to move up to a larger set. Hope this helps.

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 gave this to my 3 year old grandaughter and she liked it. Other Alex kits would be better for an 8 year old, I think.

I bought it for my 3 year old and he loves it! I would say probably 2-4 is the best age range.

Might be a little too young for 13 year old. Probably outgrow this set somewhere around age 8 or 9 in my opinion.

My six year old is using the smaller kit and I would think that he will outgrow this in a couple of years.

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.
