good for a 10-year old? I know it says ages 6-12, but all the reviews are from people who got it for a child about 6 years old. Would anyone think a 10-year old would still like it?

My 11-year old received this for her birthday in November. Everyone at the party liked it. They examined skin, salt, carpet, hair, etc. and finally got a bug. Several of the kids at the party requested it for Christmas.My child does not use it often, but when friends come over they want to use it and my child it still interested. It is all about what you are examining, so give them something good to look at.

My 11 year old daughter asked for this. She is not really a science type gal, so I am jumping at chance to give her something that might pique her interest in an educational type way. I did purchase this for her for Christmas. I don't know that it will hold her interest for a long time, that is my only concern, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

My son is 9 1/2. He loves bugs! He is going to love this. I will be getting it for Christmas.

I just bought it for my 10 year old son for Christmas. I can't wait to get it myself!

My 8-year old received this for an early Christmas gift. Once it was hooked up and focused, he and his 7-year old sister ran around finding for things to look at. My husband was helping to find things and ended up monopolizing the thing for twenty minutes looking at a dollar bill. So -I'd say it's great for "big kids" too!

My 10 year old (almost 11) son saw this at Costco and told me he really wants it. I just bought it tonight and I think he will get a big kick out of it. It was the same price as Amazon but includes a stand.

My kids are 10 and 12 and they play well on it. I would think this is good fit for kids 6 and over.

My Son was 3 years old. He enjoyed this. He also liked it for a while. But after that, just like any other toys, it is also not used much in these days. My 5 years old daughter also liked. But we thought it was a little small bike for her. I would have definitely recommnded for a <=4 year old kid. For 5 year old, this is not a big NO though.

I purchased for my nephew; he was turning 7 and he loved it! My kids had a similar one at age 6. I think it depends on the child.

I purchased this for a 6 year old. It is plenty big for her, probably also for a 10 year old. I would check the measurements (I gave as a gift so don't have it to check for you). Good luck!

Well. I would not recommend this for a 7 year old. I would recommend it for a 8 or 9 year old.\

I think it would great for 10 year olds. It's a lovely instrument but it's sturdy.

I bought it for my 8.5 year old and he has enjoyed it. I think it is a little challenging because the music picks up speed as the time ticks down. I think a 10 year old would enjoy it based on what you filled it with. I put some small toys that he likes and his favorite candy. My son likes 'games of chance' so this was a win win for us. The prizes shouldn't weigh much, we put plastic army men, tootsie roll sized candy, the biggest thing in there is sweet tarts. Hope this helps in your decision making.

I have played with 12-15-year-olds, and it works great. Don't know about 10-year-olds. And I didn't know there was a junior version. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

I think it might be a bit small for an eleven year old. I bought it for my 6 year old grandson and it was perfect for him. I would say the age would be up to 8 years old.

I have a 10 year old and she loves to play on it too! I love it because they are working on balance and core strength and having fun (so it doesn't seem like exercise or work!) My 6 year old has balance issues and she loves it too!

I bought this for a near 7 year old. It was perfect for her. In theory, I would think it would be good from ages 3 to 10, but it was a little difficult to find just the right spot to give the "shots" to make the horse whinny. I'd say ages 5 to 8 would get the most out of it.

Personally my 4 year old uses it nicely. I feel it could be used up to a 10 year old. So 4-10 would be my answer!

My almost-10-year old loves it and so do I. He is good at math, though. If your child struggles with math, it might be more difficult (less fun?) for an 8-9 year old.

I believe this is more appropriate for younger children. I bought it for my 2 & 5 year olds last year. They loved it, but the now-6 year old only has slight interest in it by now. Also, the average 8 year old might find the size a little small (but most kitchenettes I've seen in the stores are all about this size and age level).

yes this would be great for a 10 year old. It has so many options for creativity. My granddaughter loves it and she is 8. I like it because it's easy to use for a younger child but it has the potential to be interesting for her when she is older.

I bought this for my pre-schooler but the device comes with activates that if I had to say would be appropriate up to 3rd maybe up to 5th graders. ..my 1st grader, 2 nd grader, and 3rd grader play with it. Even though the graphics are more small kid focused I have even found fifth graders playing it, along with myself .lol.. Hope this helps.
