Is it a comfortable setup for a 6 yr old to use for coloring, homework, etc?

Yes. They are very comfortable and durable. When she is finished she can use the large ottoman to store her belongings.

Not really, b/c the table tray has the edge that sticks up and the soft side is a bit too soft for that. I have a 6yo and she chooses another surface for drawing.

While the stools are a near perfect height for a young elementary student, the top of the storage table has a rim that might make coloring or writing on it awkward. It would work well as a snack table since any spills would be contained, though! If you reverse the top and have the vinyl side up, it is padded to be comfortable for seating, so...again...probably not a good writing surface. The rim on the wood side is about 2" high which is why I think it would make coloring or writing on it awkward.

Not sure we never use it that way for homework...is good for setting drinks on and possible having a snack...

It's great for toddlers. I would suggest a little guidance to show the limitations of this paper. It can't be manhandled or treated too rough. But for the price, you have a lot of paper and a lot of creativity.

not at all. I bought one for Christmas for child who begged for it when she saw it in the store.. She just turned 10, so sure your 6 year old will love it.

Hi -I would recommend the V-tech tote'n'go laptops to just about anyone in the pre-reading stage of learning. It is not as glamorous as the leapfrog stuff, but it is great for letter recognition and other pre-literacy skills. That's in the twenty buck range. The Leapster 2 by leapfrog also does not need a home pc to set it up, though you can use one to access some of the advanced features it is completely unnecessary from a child's perspective to enjoy the system. Those retail for about seventy, but are regularly on sale for forty or fifty. The cartridge games are expensive, but do go on sale from time to time. My daughter loved her v-tech laptop and she loves her Leapster too. Hi -I would recommend the V-tech tote'n'go laptops to just about anyone in the pre-reading stage of learning.

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

We got this set for our 6 yr old. He needs a lot of help from us though. I think it is a fine starter kit to see if there is interest. My sister uses this kit at her school-age aftercare program and says all of the kids enjoy this kit (kinder-8th grade).

yes it would be worth it. I have a 3 year old who has the brain of a 5 year old and he loves it. Your daughter can draw, write, and play the games that are on the vtech website that you can download. It will teach her days of the week, time, I would get it.

This child's desk is such a wonderful part of any family's decor. It's a great conversation piece an your child will feel much better about his confident's in his learning. My child is 6 an he is just so thrilled each day to write his words an he's really came far at his learning potential. Much better than a boring paper an pencil. So yes, your child will greatly appreciate this desk an there's plenty of leg room underneath the desk. So Go Have Fun :)

Absolutely! If a child loves to paint and draw this is a very handy opportunity. A child that age would be able to organize the easel's compartments for his/her own needs. As young grade school children do not get much time for artwork in school, this is a definitely opportunity for creativity.

Depends on what you want to use it for. The original LeapPad is not wireless and we like that it's not. We don't want our children to have access to the internet. But we have younger kids. With older kids you may want that option for things like apps and such - I'm honestly not familiar with the newest version of the LeapPad to know what all it can do. I will say that for the price the LeapPad is def our first choice. :)

Yes. It requires very little effort. My six and seven year old use it without issue.

Considering that todays children are exposed to tons of technology almost from the day they are born, I feel that this device is best suited for the very young...probably no older than 3yo or 4yo. My 6yo and 4yo already have their own laptop computers and do pretty well navigating in a Windows environment. With laptops running at just a couple hundred bucks these days, getting your children to hop onto the computer bandwagon is easier, and cheaper, than ever. We got this product for my son when he was a 4yo but he graduated to a real laptop computer only 6 months later. I can't say for sure, but it is entirely possible that the VTech was a good stepping stone to lead into a real PC. It is far more robust than a real PC and can take a beating. It will get your children used to a keyboard and mouse configuration so it will be more natural for them to progress to a real PC.

Yes, I think so. We were not at all happy with the amount of time the battery lasted, but when it was running, it would be too much for a 6 yr old.

Yes, I think it would be okay. It is easy to fret. But the neck is the standard width of a classical guitar. Will the 6 year old be able to play barre chords on it?

My son hasn't really found it to be annoying, but he's young (he's 5 years old right now and we got it about 2 years ago or so). Maybe for an older child who writes ALOT, this would be inconvenient. We like the desk and still have it. It is pretty durable.

Absolutely. My 1 1/2 and 4 1/2 had great fun with it but a 6 year old would get a lot more out of it. It's a good musical instrument not just a toy.
