How young do you think they can start building?

On their own: ~5 years old With help: ~3 years old YMMV. My 3 and a half year old received this for Christmas. She was able to put the pieces together with no issues (until the pieces stopped holding together), but I had to read along and coach her a bit on which pieces were actually being used by the story. She also isn't reading on her own yet, so she needed help reading.

My opinion is about 5 years to 12 years. Thats my guess after seeing my 8 year old playing with hers.

I think a five year old would still like it, since you can build an unlimited number of things. It is difficult for my 3 year old to put the objects together by himself, so a 4-6 year old would probably be the right age.

I have some 4 yr. olds in my class, but some need some guidance in what to do with them. Some 5 yr. olds just "get" it, and build all kinds of things. I love magnets, so I think older kids would love these also, they are super strong, and fun to build with.

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age

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.

It might be hard for them to build but with assistance it should be fine. There are a lot of little pieces that can be lost and break off from the ship but they are easy enough to put back together. Overall it is a good toy for a younger kid that is first getting building projects. I would recommend it to an 8 year old.

I think 18 mos for youngest all the way up to preteen. They start off stacking, looking at colors to learning how to create buildings. It's really great for almost all ages

Got mine a number of years ago, I think about 10 and over, but I think younger can play with it supervised.

The child will definitely need help from an adult. There are a lot of pieces and 3 instruction manuals. The younger kids tend to get bored after realizing it takes a while to build. I bought it for an 8 year old who helped with some of the construction, but I still ended up building most of it (this was ok since I enjoy building Lego sets). When the construction is finished, they will enjoy the set regardless of age.

My personal feeling for safety is 2 under age 5-6 unless they are bigger. I'm sure as many as three could fit but i tend to err on the side go safety.

My grandsons made animals for the most part. You could make buildings with the blocks, although they had no interest in that or in making people. The animals they have made are adorable. I believe a 10 year old would be able to think of many more projects than my 6 and 3 year olds. Actually, I wish it came with a booklet with pictures to help young ones think of more ideas.

Yes. I've built the hardest ones for my six-year-old son but he can follow the instructions for the easier ones. The hard ones take a lot of time but are easy to follow.

My Grandson was 9 years old and took to it like a champ. I can see that if the kids are younger than that, It would really be a challenge.

It may take a couple of times for some of the projects but the beauty of this toy is that they learn what works and what doesn't. My 13 year old plays with this more than any of his other gifts. He is does much more than the suggested products and is still thrilled with them a year later. I, his mother, have built with him and his 9 year old sister, too. Note - they were 12 and 8 at Christmas last year. I hope this helps.

I would think anywhere from 2 to 10 years of age. The sticks are quite small but the goals work for just about any age.

It would depend on your child, but any child with an imagination and ability to stack blocks will enjoy these. The older they get, the more elaborate their constructions will get. But no matter the age, they're perfect for a child who likes to think outside the box and create his/her own masterpieces.
