Are the fortunes appropriate for children?

Yes, the fortunes are fine but the cookies no (Children should not be trained to eat processed sweet. Try fresh fruits, celery, carrots...)
1648162
Yes they are, but the ones I received we so soft and stale. I had to throw the entire carton away
1648163
in my opinion yes. heres a few "the time has come to allow your heart to guide you" "whatever your lifes work is do it well" "the face of nature reflects all of lifes ups and downs" and they're all basically like that. they're also fresh too

These are typical Restaurant cookie fortunes. They are not offensive to anyone. But, children aren't the target audience.They are for adults. Children will be asking, "What does this mean?" As long as the cookies are good (our box was....these were a "Thank you" for any who came to our daughter's wedding reception), the kids will have fun eating the cookies. For fortunes more suited to children, do some looking and maybe be prepared to spend more for the atypical.

They're typical ones you find in a Chinese restaurant. Not inappropriate, but I doubt they'd appeal to children. You might google "Chinese fortune cookies for children" and see if anyone makes such a cookie.

I think so. They are very typical of what you find in other fortune cookies.

It is about the size of real money. It is a good medium to teach your kids about money and counting money.

I think so, however the youngest I've known to play it is 8. If the 6 yr old grasps instructions well then he should be fine. It's the explanation of various combinations vs. just colour combos that may frustrate him. But there is no reading involved so he may just enjoy it for the combinations and patterns.

My guess is that if it is a sturdy (heavy) table they would be quite satisfactory. Table height, kid height, all factor in to this equation. Try a set and see. They are not expensive.

I purchased them for my grandchildren and they were thrilled..They are 12/8 and 7 but have been into Pokemon for quite a while so if you aren't looking for something worth a fortune I would say yes...

Yes - maybe as a trading card game.my son & his friends trade them more than play them

I believe it is meant for younger children. My 7 and 9 year olds enjoyed it.

Mayfair states it is designed for 5 years and up, but with a bright child (and you would know), sometimes you can even start a bit younger with some games. The important thing with children is to avoid competitiveness. Winning is nice, but not necessary. I remember when my daughter was much younger, the tears came when losing. It took a bit to get past that, but makes for a better game.DaveBoardgames4us

I don't recall how many sheets of paper came with the Fortune Cookie Maker, but then- I never used them. I typed fortunes up on my computer, then printed them on printer paper. The cookie is already cooked, when you place the fortune inside, and didn't see any harm in doing so.

No. My kids love it. It about making a wager on the closest possible answer. You normally don't know the real answer.

There are several cards especially for children and others that could be used for either children or adults. I like them alland there seems to be something for all occasions.

I'd guess no because it's pretty rules heavy for a card game so not sure most kids would have the patience. But Fantasy Flight put out an instructional video (on their site and youtube) that instructs through actual gameplay so you could check it out and see if the boys would be into it.

Possibly. Suitable based on content? Yes. Suitable based on difficulty? Maybe.To be clear this is not a stand alone game and it requires the game 7 Wonders. If the kid in question is familiar with 7 Wonders than this expansion should be a breeze for a 7-8 year old.The game itself is quite fun and even if a 7-8 year old doesn't initially "get" it, I don't see why they couldn't after some trial and error. It's a great way to teach strategy, awareness, and a good time around a table.

I think it would be fine for kids. It's about the same quality as the ones sold for kids.

Definitely. It's one of my six year old's favorites and I'm sure a five year old could play. Sometimes (when her sister's been winning a lot) we make the game easier by not making her memorize all the cards but allowing her multiple peaks either on some or all of the cards. As with most games it's helpful to talk little ones through decisions they make the first few times they play it.

Yes it does. Slips of paper come along with it. My son was so excited when he got it, we just made one packet of the cookies. Didn't take time to write the fortunes. Looking forward to the next time we break it out and put our fortunes in it.
