Is this too childish for a 12 yr old girl?

I think it depends on the child. If she enjoys doing crafts, then she may enjoy these. The finished tiles are quite small, so this may get her interested in larger tile crafts or any of the more difficult projects. My 12 yr old daughter isn't into crafts anymore, so I know that if I tried to get her to do these, she'd just roll her eyes at me. Lol.So again, it really depends on what your daughter is interested in. No 12 year old girls are alike.

Probably. My ten and a half year old did have fun with it though. It's a simple kit where the kids paint a tile just over one inch square with a magnet on the back. The magnet was pretty strong, so these did become permanent fixtures on my refrigerator.

My 6 and 8 year old loved these...like the other respondent said, it depends on your 12 year old. I have a 12 year old niece whom is quite crafty and would enjoy this type of project.

Depends on how mature, dextrous and focused of a 12 year old it is. I started doing crafts and paint by numbers at an early age and would probably have loved this at 12. But I certainly wouldn't get this as an introduction to paint by numbers. It is also very detailed and very time consuming, so kids that are addicted to technology and fast-paced activities would probably get frustrated/bored with this very quickly. On the other hand, if they are patient and focused and already enjoy similar activities, this would be a good item for such a child. This uses a very small detail brush and has some very small areas to paint, so dexterity is also important. Depends on how mature, dextrous and focused of a 12 year old it is.

I gave this as a gift to an eight year old. Not sure if a 13 year old would find it too childish,unless they collect stuffed sanimals?

The device is heavy. Whether or not suitable for a 12 year old is subjective and dependent upon the individual. Some would find it too heavy; others not so much.

Hi Anne. We got this for our granddaughter - 6 years old. It turned out her older brother - 9, enjoyed it more than her. I do think 12 might be a bit "old" for it. Plus, as already commented the quality is not the best. The big thing seems to be scooters. I think they have made a comeback. Hope this helps.

I would assume that it is suitable for kids. . i would encourage you to purchase this one

I dont think so, it seems more of an adult fitting. Maybe for teenagers but not for kids.

I did it last year and I was thirteen. I think I did well with it, and did not think it was too hard. It helped to have built a few models before, so if your twelve year old has built a few models he should do fine. I would not recommend it if this is his first model.

My daughter is 12 and absolutely loves it. I think it is good for up to pre-teens. Teenagers would enjoy it for a time, but would probably lose interest after awhile.

I think this may over power a 12 yr old. It's an adult style wig. The wig itself is also extremely long. If you plan to do MAJOR RESTYLING, by a professional, then I'd say go for it! I hope that this helps you in your decision. :). I also want to add the wig cap is also for an adult. Good Luck with your decision. :)

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

I would think a 12 year old girl would enjoy the Perplexus Epic. We got it for our 17 year old son, but everyone in the family enjoys it and should be perfect for a 12 year old.

In my opinion, no. I bought it as a gift for a 4 year old and it took her awhile to get the hang of it. But only you know the capabilities of your child, so I would lean more towards a toddler version.

It would be perfect for a 12 year old. It does take a couple hours to put together. You have to watch the CD that comes with it. One of the screws was missing, but my 17 year old still plays it and it sounds great.

It's fairly difficult to construct. You will need to use glue. I'd say if your 12 or older you can put this together with only minor difficulties. One last thing,... It looks awesome!!

I would.. It's very feminin; not too big (easily fits in the corner of a room). I like it and I'm in my mid 20's; an 8 year old would love it; especially if she loves playing dress up

I bought it for my 13 year old granddaughter. She loved it. I think a younger girl could enjoy it as well, but my 6 year old granddaughter showed no interest in it. Hope this helps.
