To me this kit is for younger beginners rather than older more knowledgeable people.

I bought 2 of these for my sons, aged 9 and 13. I had to send one back because my 13 year old hated it. He said it "sucked". My 9 year old, however, really likes it. So for an adult, I'd say buy something else.Hope that helps.

I think the age limit on the package said ages 3 and up, but my son was 2 1/2 when I purchased it. It has several games for him to play, which he is a little young for, but he does the alphabet game a lot and it has helped him. He repeats the letters out loud after he presses them...so I do think it is still good item for a child his age.

Hi Melissa, age 4/5 and up...The child I purchased this gift for, is a car addict...He spent the entire evening playing with it. A year later he still plays with it. Zee

I purchased it for my toddler. It broke when he dropped it with me supervising. I highly doubt a 12-15 year old would want this as a gift.I also teach children with emotional disabilities and have foster children.

My Granddaughter has shown in interest in gem stones and the healing aspect since she was around 6. I figure if they don't try to eat it or just thow it around their room, it should be good for most any age. I think being a parent or Grandparent, you will know if its the right age for your child. I don't think giving it to a child under 3 would be wise if they are still testing the taste and consistincy of objects. and a 16 year old might think its lame. but if you want a concrete answer, maybe 6 to 12

I purchased this turtle for my 20 month old grandson this past Christmas. He's nearly 29 months old now, and is losing interest in it. Hope this information helps.

I would say 8-10 for begginer scientists. My son was within age range (11) but was a little bored with the experiments. Definitely for the younger age range.

I think he may be the perfect age- it actually engages their minds with lots of engineering concepts. One of our magnet schools (science, engineering,technology) uses this set in one of its units. It especially challenges if you let them create their own design after they are familiar with the ones in the booklet. Start with adult help, then let child get creative!

According to the box, it's meant for 9-14 year olds. But my six-year-old is extremely adept at building and he liked it a lot. I think it depends on who you are buying it for and how much help the kid can get from adults.

My son was given it for his 2nd birthday, and he loves it. I would say its age range is 12 months to 4 years old.

You may be pushing the upper age range. My 6 year old enjoyed it since it was bigger pieces to work with, but he has since gone strictly to legos.

in my opinion, he may be a little big for it. I usually give it as a 1st bday gift, although 1 1/2-2 appears to be the best age for it. I am not sure of the height from the ground b/c I give it as gifts. That being said, I have seen it used up to the age of 4, just depends how tall and flexible the kids are

I gave this as a gift to an eight year old. Not sure if a 13 year old would find it too childish,unless they collect stuffed sanimals?

It's listed as ages 8 and up. Though with help and supervision, my 3 year old daughter loves to use it to look at the moon.
