What age is best for this project?

It's hard to say. My 7 year old grandaughter loves anything to do with fashion but she was very frustrated with this product. But a pre-teen might feel it boring and childish. I really can't recommend this product for any age - see my previous review.

My daughter loved it and she had just turned 7. It required a little patience and some supervision, but once she had done one of the designs she quickly continued on the others and created done of her own unique designs.

I gave this to my niece when she was 8 years old. She helped me to chose it. I don't know if the box says sth because my brother received it in Miami and brought it back to my country unpacked. Sorry for not giving the answer you were looking for.

9 to 11 is a good age, my 7 year old couldn't deal with it but my 9 year old had a little more patience. Working with tape isn't very forgiving to mistakes.

I recall that my four children, whose ages are seven years apart, all enjoyed it. I certainly hope my 8-year-old grandson will find it challenging but fun -- it's going to be under the tree. He likes to engineer and build things. However, if the girl you mentioned is more into girly things, I don't know how much she would enjoy it.

The suggested low age is 8. I bought this kit for my 6 year old, and he has had a lot of fun with it. But the lower ages will require some adult help, explaining how to interpret the color pictures to build the projects. Once the child understands that, they can have a lot of fun on their own. Lots of great things to build, from very simple light-up projects, funny sound effects, a helicopter-like flying propeller, and a radio that really works! Also, there is a smaller kit available. The pieces are color coded to match the book examples, and easily snap together. The circuit is built by copying the example pictures, without having to read the text. Older users can actually learn basic electronics by reading the text, if they have an interest in understanding how the circuit works.

I first gave these to my grandson when he was four. I have added to the set several times. He is six now, and his sister is now four. They build structures and play with them together. I would say that the peak ages are 5-7 because of the skill required in putting the pieces together. The older the child, the more intricate the building becomes. Personally, I really enjoy building with them too!

I think they would be fine for 1 year, maybe suggested age is 2 because they could actually build something.

I would say it depends on the child. I would also think typically for a child at least 5 years old but better suited for a child with better dexterity. More suitable for a child 8 years or older.

I would think a couple years older but it depends it the 6 year old. My daughter learns all these fun crafts from her friends so what I think might be too young really isn't.

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.

Honestly it depends on his skill level. If he is always making cool things and has safely operated other powertools, then this would probably be alright with adult assistance and safety gear/precautions. Being a complicated machine, things can and will require repair, so I would not expect someone that age to fully maintain the machine. If he is into stuff like this though and has an older supervisor to help him operate/maintain it, it is never to early to get kids into engineering!

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 say almost any age that can act out words. You might have to go through the words first and find ones that little kids would know but otherwise kids love it because they get to act and be with others who are acting.

My grandson is 9 years old. A good project for his dad and him. Adult supervision is very helpful. So many variables, but if they have worked with Legos, etc, it makes sense to them. Very durable. It will be something that he will enjoy for several more years.

It might be a little young to manipulate all the pieces without breaking them. If the child is very aware of how to handle small objects, it could work. But honestly I'd say close to 6-7 years old.

Any age is good with supervision. I would suggest 10 and over with minimal supervision .

of course the manufactured would kinow best; however, my grandchildren age 9 and 12 asked for same for Christmas 2013. Thne 12 year old is really into it and really enjoys it and understands the concept; but my 9 year old does not seem interested (has not yet begun to look at it). I would say it all depends on the child and their interests. Sorry, this is all I have to offer.

I would say ages 3-5 or older if the child is having trouble mastering these skills

Maybe but older would probably be better. I purchased for my five year old grandson and he could work it but his eight year old brother really liked it!
