We purchased it for our 5 year old... She is dino CRAZY and loved the idea of it. But the truth is that this is something that requires a great deal of patience... and she simply didn't have that. We ended up using water to wet the block because it went faster. For an older child who understands that this is not something that will be done in an hour it could be a nice project over a couple of days. Once she had all the bones out though she was THRILLED with them and played with the bones for a long time. So while I don't have an exact age... I can say that five was perhaps too young and that it is best for a child who has patience. We purchased it for our 5 year old... She is dino CRAZY and loved the idea of it.

I bought it for my son who had just turned 5. He loved it, but it's a lot of slow work for a five year old, and I had to help put the pieces together. I'd say it's ideal for kids between 7 and 10.

Definitely 5+The Main Reaon Being That The Dust That Comes Out Of Digging Is Very Fine And Can Get Into Their Eyes, Mouth, Etc... I Got It For My Son's 6Th Bday And He Doug It With His Same Age Friends No Problem, My Dauther Was Having A Bit Of An Issue Keeping The Dust Out Of Her Eyes With All The Boys Blowing It Around. She Was 4.

All 3 of my boys love it and they are 5, 8 and 10. Girls will enjoy it too. My 5 year old really likes doing it, but he needs help and it takes him a long time. My older boys can easily do it on their own.

My son got this for his 4th birthday and immediately went to work. He (and his 34 year old father) were thoroughly engaged for almost an hour and a half doing this. Usually my son has the patience of a normal 4 year old, so I was shocked when this kept his attention. He has since requested another one! The only downside to this is that it's very messy. The sand that he chips away will get everywhere, but totally worth it. My 4 year old loved it.

It says "Manufacturer recommended age: 24 months - 6 years". That's probably about right. My daughter is 3.

Definitely not too young, but possibly too old. It really depends on the child learning and maturity level.

Our grandchildren all play with it, and they are ages 2-8. The 8 year old girl only plays with it when playing with little cousins. I think 3-5 is ideal.

I would not purchase it for any age, because it does not work at all. But if you must, I would say 2 to 5.

The suggested age is 12+, but I just bought it for my 7 year old. Worse case it's a good training tool. Plus it has the indoor shell to protect itself.

My son was given it for his 2nd birthday, and he loves it. I would say its age range is 12 months to 4 years old.

I would say it's appropriate for kids age 3 to 6. It's a good quality set. I bought it for my son when he was 6. He's 7 1/2 now and his drum instructor says he needs to move up to a larger set. Hope this helps.

No, this item is meant for very young children. I would say up to 5 years old.

It just states up to 12 years of age. Probably between 100-150 lbs should be ok. I'm 200 lbs and I have used it myself! Really fun!

I think it is perfect for a 3 year old. I got it for my granddaughter and she is 18 months; I think she will most likely use it until she is 5 or 6.

probably atleast 2 and a half to 3 years old before giving this to a child.

The best ages for this toy would vary according to the maturity and goals of the child. I can see a youth of 6, enjoying it, on up to the age of 13-14, depending on the interests of the child.
