This is a very good set for a 5 year old. Plus, there are additional pkgs. you can get to add to the set.

My 6-year-old grandson loves Lego so I thought he would like this as a new challenge, but still a building toy. He has shown little interest in it. It is somewhat difficult to assemble in that the pieces don't stay together unless on exactly right. I would not highly recommend it for a 5-year-old.

It's fun but the designs can be hard for kids to make on their own. 5 might still be too young. Great if you already have a different set as they can be used together.

I gave it to a 5 year old kid on his birthday and the parents told me that it was the first gift he opened. They liked it.

my son is 5 and loved these. both my kids love to build things. and this is just another "medium" for them to build and uses a different set of skills - blocks are stacked, the way these join - they really learn about "joints" and moving parts more.

I did purchase this as a gift for a 5 almost 6 yr old boy that was responsible enough for it. It the child is responsible with toys then I would say yes. If he is not responsible and just destroys everything then I would say no.

Yes. I got this for my daughter when she was 3.5 and she's 5 now and still enjoys. I do think it's appropriate for 2.5 year old because they will grow with it. There are so many accessory sets. It's fun to get different ones for birthdays, etc.

I believe your 5 year old would enjoy Story Cubes, with assistance from you. On this particular set the cubes have pictures on all sides, and with assistance a 5 year old can make up a story or a sentence, in my opinion.

Depends on your child, but my 7 1/2 year old boys don't play with them much anymore. You may want to consider something larger/more detailed for this age.

Sorry for the delayed response as I have been on vacation. My daughter loves this set for our grandson and says it will work for a child of the age and size you describe.

Yes. It has enough pieces to keep his imagination going for quite a while. He will really enjoy this set.

I have to disagree with the other answer about the product being junk. The set worked very well for a precocious 6-year old. It is one of his more complicated sets though. It was a little frustrating until he realized the connectors slide together from the side and don't snap straight in. If you buy it, this comment will make sense.

It depends on the 4-5 year old. My son who just turned 5 can build the 8+ sets without much assistance. He didn't find the juniors sets very exciting at all, we tried those when he was 4. He prefers the themed sets (lego movie/star wars/mixels) over the simple juniors one. As a general rule he can do the regular sets with less than 300(maybe 400) pieces on his own, and requires slight assistance with ones that have more.

Probably not. That is by far the most advanced set in the Lego friends lineup. My daughter is 7 and was able to put it together. I would start off with the Pet Show set, that is much easier.

Which ever one he wants the most! Some kids have a harder time and get frustrated putting them together. Start with a set that cost around 20 bucks before you by him something more expensive and more complicated. Let him develope his talent instead of throwing something overwhelming at him. Have fun!

I would suggest plastic for a three year old. I would say this set would be better suited for a child 4-6 years old.

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

I think it's a good size set. My son only has this set and has enough to keep entertained.

I bought this gorgeous set for my 5 year old grandson and he fits it quite nicely. The drums themselves would work: it's not a toy, but the seat would be too small. I would definitely go with a bigger set for an 11 year old. Hope this helps.

I have a couple of the basic sets as well as the construction set. The more sets they have the more they can make. I recommend starting with the basic set and see how they like it and build from there. My grandchildren 3-13 all love it!

My grandson got it when he was 4 - just before his 5th birthday - and he loved it. He played with the set on a regular basis until he was 10.

Ours son is 10 years old and he has enjoyed this set. They offer a free online lessons program, but he has not done anything with that yet.
