I believe the magformer set is great for all ages. My 4 and 2 year olds love them. I even like to build things with them my self. Very entertaining and educational. I had to buy 2 sets to build more complex structures.

I bought these for my 6 year old and he loves them. Keeps him entertained for awhile. Not sure for an 8 year old.

These are great bought them for my son at 3 and he still enjoys them today at almost 5! I have actually bought multiple sets because he likes them so much.

I think it's a great ideas for boys that age. Especially if play time is indoors. I would buy the large sets though. Like with the helicopter attachments etc. And be sure to order enough because it takes many peices to build certain structures. This could lead to fighting if there aren't enough peices for individual projects. For example if one wants to build a castle and the other a helicopter. More is better in this case from my experience.

I bought the magformers for my 7 year old granddaughter, she absolutely loved it. She has spend hours playing with them, inventing new shapes, copying the ones in the insert. I would highly recommend this toy to any child. I was truly amazed at how much she enjoyed it, she said it was better than "her ponies".

I have a 6 year old boy and he LOVES rescue bots. He has other, more complicated transformers and he likes those too...but plays with his rescue bots the most. I would definitely recommend for a 5 year old.

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

This bike will give your son something to grow with. You can always put training wheels on it and then take them off when he's ready. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old that love riding this bike, but they would've been fine with its size at 6 as well.

It is recommended for 8 and above but I bought for my adult sons - 23-30 and it kept them engaged playing with it.

Ages 7 and up would be best. My 5 year old nephew tries to play, but it's pretty difficult for him.

Our daughter just turned 8 and we bought her the 8' pop up ones. Her coach recommended that over the 6' size.

Although (36 months - 8 years) is the age range, I think 6-8 years, which I applied to my grand children is the best for such toy without parent supervision

It may be a little small for that age. My son is 6 and it's a perfect size for him, my 8 year old is a bit big for it.

We bought them for a six year old and eight year old. Both have been very happy with it. A 3 year old plays on it at basketball practice. It is very sturdy. Since you can add Android apps you should be able to use it for older kids but the style might look too "little kid" for anyone over 10.

I bought these for a classroom of 5-6 year olds and it was appropriate for that age group. I think a 7-8 year old might have fun with it but may not be challenging

My six year old loves it but needs a lot of help. I would think an eight year old that is able to focus and likes puzzles would like it. It increases in difficulty.

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.

My 8 year old and 7 and 6 year old boys love theirs. The only difficult task is trying to sync the remote to the car because we have 3. But they are fabulous! My husband says they are faster than anything he's ever seen.

I am using it for my 6 years old boy with out any problem. Very convenient to sit and write and also safe. For 8 years old may be little small but it depends on how tall is your girl. Sometimes I also use it for writing some quick notes :)

I have not seen it but my boys (8 & 9) want it too, so we think we may spring for it. BUT a word of advice from a mom who bought way too many toys too early for them (when the were 5 & 6). Wait. We bought a pool/ping pong/air hockey combo table and it's trashed. All the games we bought for them at that age are missing pieces. Unless your 6 yr old is really mature, I would wait a year or two if I were you.
