It is once you securely put the nutmeg nut in the grinder. It can be difficult to close tightly and I don't believe a child could do it. THe grinder is wonderful otherwise.

School aged? Like a five year old? Or a seventeen year old. Not very specific. I would not recommend this for children. It is difficult to turn. Maybe spend time with them on spelling lessons. More productive, I am sure. It was there, I had to.

I think a child could put this together fairly easy. I work with special needs children and use this as a treatment activity for them to help me out it together. I give them very little help (the kids I use it with have difficulty using one arm)

Our grandchildren ages 5 and 8 have used it. It does seem to be accurate and easy for them to use.

Yes, it is. It's good for small projects , it's not very strong but enough for preschool.

Yes. It is very easy to use. Good for BASIC documentation and storage. Don't know if it will hold up to today's school work.

depends on their balancing abilities, but general no. It's not too young. My two year old uses it all the time, so does my four year old.

Yes. I have 3 of these. They r bulky but very light. My 2.5 year old can easily do it.

I would check one out in a store first. While this is very easy to use and a 5 yr old could handle it, the handles might be a bit high, even in the lowest position. It might work if the child was tall enough. Great product though. Light weight and very sturdy. Good luck!

I bought it for my 11 year old. But, if you can follow simple directions, it can be used by 8 year olds to learn the basics and for fun. For more in depth knowledge of the principles and the electronics, it can be useful for teenagers.

I'm not sure it should be used by a 6 year old because of the danger of getting fingers crushed or pinched but it is easy for an adult to use without much effort

My 6 and 7 year old daughters figured out how to use it without any help so it is easy to use. The buttons are small and can be hard to read, however once one used it a few times could remember the buttons.

Oh yea. Most definitely! My Son is 4yrs old and he got the hang of it quick. Lol

Very easy. My 5 year old was able to do it by himself. My 2 year old could do it with some help. Just takes a minute or two.

I gave the laptop as a gift and the child was not yet three. She was able to use the laptop without difficulty. She has not lost interest yet. Children vary in ability and therefore, some may not be as ready for the laptop.

Yes! Easy and very durable. We love it (grandparents) and bought another one for my sons house!

Yes it is. My daughter used this until she was 17 and was able to do different intricate designs with no problems.

I think it would have been fine for my children when they were 10. It is not a toy, but it is sturdier than some of the cheaper ones. May be a good lesson and it is simple to use.
