Is it too young for a 8 yr.old

I would try to find another karaoke machine that the 8 yr. old will not outgrow as quickly. There are probably others that will do more and can still be operated by an 8 year old. We found a couple in Toys R Us but didn't buy them because they looked a little too old. For our three year old, we needed to keep it simple and not worry about too many buttons and knobs. As you probably read, we were first happy with it but then had headache after headache trying to get the manufacturer to replace a defective microphone. Hope this helps, Kevin

I would look at other ones before you purchase this one for an 8 year old. I purchased this for a toddler, so she loved it especially since it lights up, but she can barely hear herself unless you practically have your mouth ON the microphone. So imagine if you're singing along with a track. I even tried it myself and came to the conclusion the quality isn't that great. For a toddler it can pass, but someone 6 and older, I would look for something else, especially if they like to sing.

I agree with the poster below... It's a great toy for a five year old, but I believe an 8 year old will be bored after five minutes. It doesn't have a huge amout of features beyond the three voice options and four barbie songs. The Barbie microphone and amplifier would be better for an eight year old, though more expensive.

I don't think 5 years is too young. It depends on your child, but I would give it a try. You can always change the rules a bit. :)

We bought this for our four year old and he loves it. I think your 8 year old would like since he likes the movie and and especially if he also likes romote control cars. I know my husband and I enjoy playing with it. I notice that the other answers say that he is too old for this but I stand by my answer that he would like it , but then again all children are different and depends on what he is into.

The box says ages 4 to 99. It depends on what a kid is into, I think it's be great for an eight year old.

The 4 Yr old yes, but not sure for an 8 yr old. As for the grass I put a blanket down just in case a pebble/ rock wouldn't pierce...the plastic felt sturdy.. mine still is in great condition my toddler loved it during the summer.

Absolutely! My 4 year old son has been flying this specific heli and LOVES it. If my 4 year old can do it, an 8 year old definitely can.

I guess is a good option. I bought it for my nephew, but she is 2 years old, and for now she starts to play with this kind of things, but for a boy of 8 years I think is good.

It would be perfect for an 8 year old. Four is about as young as I would start if you wanted the child to work it herself. The adults hve enjoyed it also. I would buy this again and it has held up really well. Hope this helps.

Could be difficult to fly for an 8 year old if this is his first helicopter. As Colette stated it really depends upon the child. The is more difficult to fly than some of the toy grade helicopters. I would check out http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/helicopter-for-kids.html or the Syma S107 for an 8 year old

Product Dimensions:Depends on how tall your child is. My 4year old Grandson is big for his age. The description states 3 to 15, I would say "not even close" If your 8 year old is small then yes.

I don't think so - I bought it for my 7 year old, now turning 8 and she still likes it very much.

It sort of depends on the modelling talent of the 8 year old. If he/she is a typical one, I would say no unless you help by doing all the work. This model requires advanced modeling skills and I suspect would be a huge challenge for an 8 year old. Of course, you could buy it and stash it for 5 or 6 years. In the interim, look for a less complex model. There are several available so best to check a couple of stores (on-line or face to face). Good luck.Clyde

yes it is suitable for an 8 year old. we played it with my granddaughter. and she is 8 yrs. old. She loved playing it. The more people that play the more fun it is.

I think this may be little too advanced for a 3 year old. It is a wonderful toy; very well made and amazing the way it moves and the sounds but I think I would wait until the child is about 6 years old. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy now.

Hello!I think it would be too small because I got it for my sister's 4th birthday, she's turning 5 soon and it was the perfect training bike. An eight year old would probably need a larger bike.hope that helps!
