I'm an 83 year old woman and I'd like to have more of the kits, but I don't know about the lower age limit.

My 4 year old son played with it, and started understanding some of the principles around electricity, so I can definitely say from 4 years and up

I would think anywhere from 2 to 10 years of age. The sticks are quite small but the goals work for just about any age.

Manufacturer recommended age: 36 months - 15 yearsBut I bought for my kids when they were about 2.5 years, so that would be about 27-28 months, a little younger than what they recommend - this might be because there are small parts - "Screws" which a child maybe could swallow; my kids didn't put the toys in their mouths, you probably could take the smaller parts away and just let them play with the larger tools - hammer, wrench, screw-driver etc... They kids love this toy.I dont know what the manufacturer is talking about up to 15 years, must be a standard thing, I cannot see a kids playing with this beyond 5 or 6 years old.

I would say 4 - 12 month olds. My son started at 4 months and loves it still at 8 months. Due to height restrictions it probably wouldn't fit any older than a 1 year old.

My toddlers love them, as do their cousins (ages 4-8), as does my husband! I think there is a very broad age range for this toy.

Under 2 is too young. The package probably says 3 or 5 as the minimum age. My daughter is 2.5 and does fine with them, not putting her paint covered hands near her mouth or on furniture.

I don't remember if there was an age range on the package. But at the YMCA, they use these from age 2 to 6. My daughter is 4 and she loves her "bubble"

They might try to eat or chew on them. Got this for my son around that age but he enjoyed them more closer to 1.5 to 2yo.

My son is 5 right now and is very into switch and go dinos! He got his first one at age 4. I could see older kids (6-7) not being as interested.

I would say best ages are 3 - 5. My grandson is 3 so I know we will get our money's worth

We purchased these several months ago, my son is 1 1/2 now and just started really getting into them. Could depend on the child, and particular interests, but I would say at least 1 year +

I'd say a younger age, 3-7. We sent ours back bc it was defective, but the concept is good for younger kids.

whatever age the child doesn't constantly put these (or objects) in his or her mouth... so just depends when child is out of that phase. My daughter- 2 1/2- loves to play with these, my 5 year old son likes to play with these. There are imaginex toys of Spongebob that are of similar size to these... so these easily go with those playsets- like the submarine bus... these toys go well with that. The nice part is that you have practically the whole cast when purchasing this set... can't say that for the other choices out there:)

My grandson was 3 when I bought them for him. I think as long as they don't put them in their mouth, they should be good for 2 year olds. My grandson plays with them for hours!

I bought these for my daughter's 2nd birthday. All the kids there played with them (1-8 years), and the parents too! I just took out the smallest sized piece and my 10 month old loves them too.

I would say any age as long as there is an adult there for the really little ones. Out neighbor is three and loves it.

My daughter is 11 months and chews on the people. Her brother is 2 1/2 and libes it. I can see him playing with it for a few more years. He takes his other little people things today care and they play up to age 6 with them when there are more than one child.
