Socks are a little on the the thin side, hence the 4 stars but will still be a fun gift for a 6 yr old.

I bought these along with other stuff... as a gift for one of my grandkids. So I can not give it a five as it hasn't been given yet but I have to admit it looks like fun. I even told my daughter it looks like something we would want to play with! I do like that part as we need to interact with our children. Cute gift and  handy jug carry with handle.

A gift for my 3 yo cousin and she had a lot of fun with it.  It's hard to find paper to fit well though.  I ordered the Melissa & Doug tablet and it works but tears the edges so we have to cut around her coloring when she is finished... Maybe they make paper to fit and I just missed it??  Overall, a lot of fun for a creative child..  I even caught the adults making a designs too!

I bring my 4 year old to see the nutcracker every year so this was a great pre-christmas craft for her. She had fun, and was very excited by this, especially the hair. A few things I would change:
- The gemstones at not stickers. I own lots of similar gemstone stickers, there not expensive, not sure why they cheaped out here. My daughter gave up on trying to glue them on
- The hair does not have a sticker strip. I've had similar projects with fur in the past that at least had one sticky strip, I had to use my hot glue gun
- The stickers do not stay on over the paint - they are just not sticky enough
- The paint pots are not suitable for mixing - if mixing is expected a palette and tubes should be provided. I used my own paints and palette for mixing, not a big deal just not the best deign

This is a nice gift for a young girl.  The Teresa doll is well made.  The horse was a little different than I thought ...I believe the automatic jumping feature forced the making of it to be a more gaudy plastic than say Barbie's horse Dallas back in the day.  The make of the horse made it feel younger to me.  Batteries are required for the jumping feature.

My little six year old loves it but not as much as secret pizza party or dragons love tacos. Still a fun read!

My 4 year old loves this gift and can do most of the tricks herself. My 6 year old was certain Santa made a mistake in giving this to her little sister...

Lots of excitement upon unwrapping, but the actual play value hasn't seemed to be very high - this hasn't been one of the birthday presents that has been played with much.

We gave this as a birthday present for a 6 year old.  It looked really cute in the package.  colorful

The box says 6+. But this is good for an interested 4 year old kid or may be even younger.
My 3.75 year old was able to complete it on the first try with fair amount of help from me. Now she likes to work on this bug puzzle at least once every day. On 4th try she did it all by herself!

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson. His 6 year old sister ended up putting it together for him. I guess that I will put the others back until he is a bit older. The parts were very small and he lost interest after putting the wheels together. The directions say 6 and older. They were right. It has very small parts so be sure to have an area where they can be worked on and the parts won't get lost. The 6 year old loved the challenge.  Nice activity toy. Did the job, got them engaged.

I purchased this for my 7 year old daughter who's more into art's and crafts kind of things then Barbies. She seemed happy to get it and had fun with it. The gift is pretty self explanatory, so the only thing I would add is they the actual item is not as brightly colored as the manufactures stock picture shows.

It's not the bright "Lisa Frank" like colors it looks like in the main photo. The wooden box it's in it actually more of a light pink color then the hot pink color they show, but the beads are a bit brighter. I added a personal photo to Amazon's customer images above to help give a better idea, but even that picture seems a bit more colorful then the actual item in hand. These color variations are not a big deal, but I just wanted to make a note of them so people would know.

smaller than expecting, but good toy for young children.

This birthday present has delivered a fair amount of fun so far and my granddaughter (just turned 7) enjoyed building her first creation, but I question a couple of things.  As a newly self-proclaimed tomboy :) she insisted on presents a boy would like, and I hoped this would fit the bill.  She's not had the basic gear set but I hoped she'd be successful with this one and would be especially motivated because of the motorized action and lights.  The set comes in a nice barrel shaped tub which makes clean up fairly easy and storage super.  The tub is plenty big enough to hold all the pieces without a problem, however you do have to take apart the base to fit those pieces in.  We may have just gotten a set with extra tough fasteners, but putting those flat squares together to form the base was REALLY hard.  They didn't want to slide together or be pushed together and I ended up with a few bruises for my efforts (very forceful pushing), but eventually got them to fit together.

The kids (big brother helped just a little) then set to figuring out how to get the gear pieces to interlock so that they turned one another in multiple directions.  After a few false starts they had success and developed a fairly elaborate setup that would go both forward and backward with the motorized control and the lights flashed appropriately (and were greatly enjoyed).  They were very pleased with their creation, but then disassembled it and put the pieces back in the tub.  I wonder if it will be sought out for play again.  So far, it hasn't.

I think that for children who love building and are always looking for another way to satisfy that urge, plus are reasonably handy with interlocking pieces, this set is a good choice.  It offers the opportunity for imaginative play and repeated use for the right child.  On the other hand, it may be a one-trick wonder for children who don't have that natural need to build and rebuild.

Bought this for a 4 year old nephew. While I had fun putting it together with him, I wouldn't quite say the size of the pieces themselves are appropriate for a 4 year old YET. But once assembled, its a great size for someone who is obsessed with construction toys.

A bit of fun and folly for my 4-year old grand-fellow
