is it appropriate for 5 year olds?

yes my son has been playing since he was 4 with some assistance, its really a great family game, my older kids (7& 9) enjoy playing too

It is great for any age. The cards range from 0 (zero) to 9. For the younger children I have played with only the cards from zero to 5. The game goes quickly. Being an adult does not help you win, so the children will get a thrill out of beating you fairly. Best card game I have ever played with my grandchildren.

Definitely. It's one of my six year old's favorites and I'm sure a five year old could play. Sometimes (when her sister's been winning a lot) we make the game easier by not making her memorize all the cards but allowing her multiple peaks either on some or all of the cards. As with most games it's helpful to talk little ones through decisions they make the first few times they play it.

I think so. Basic addition helps, but isn't totally necessary. in fact, this game could probably be a fun way to practice addition.

Absolutely!!! I introduced my son to the game when he was about four years old and when I taught school, even my fifth graders loved it! When they are really young you can play with all of the cards "up". Once they catch on, play with two up and two down, but no peeking.... it helps them first know the value of numbers and then the memory of where they are at!

Yes it would be good for a 5 year old. We have both the original and the Junior. Our 6 year loves the junior! She could have easily played it at 5. I hope you enjoy!

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

It may be too small for a five year old. Our granddaughter is two and she enjoys it. She will probably still fit in it at three or four.

A five year old could "use" it but it would depend on the child as to whether they could Play it or not. I would say 7-9 is probably a good age to introduce a child to this if they had no musical background. Saying that, it is an instrument you could purchase/acquire and play with around them and they may be able to pick it up at a much earlier age. Well built, but not a "toy".

Yes. My daughter just turned 5 and has had it a while now. Still a favorite.

yes this is safe for a 5 year old. If your five year old can ride a bike he should not have a problem with this scooter . This is a good fun toy. Not a great means of transportation. My son age 10 could not keep up on our bike rides.

It may be a bit young for a five year old- it doesn't have a ton of features (just a few phrases the jet says) but if the child already likes Wonder Woman, he or she may enjoy this toy--- you can also find more Wonder Woman and female superhero toys at mightygirl.com- that's where I found this. Maybe they'll have some WW stuff for your 5 year old

Hi K. Carone,Ummm, it depends on the size of the 5 yr old. But I don't think so. My boyfriend assists our 4 yr old with riding it. So I think it's fine.

I think it's definitely appropriate for a 5 year old. We got it for my 3 year old son, who absolutely loves it. The seat is adjustable and can move back to fit older children. Even if children have bicycles (with or without training wheels), they will love the Big Flyer because it is a different experience and ride compared to a bike like Nana said. I agree with Deb too, kids can go as fast as they can pedal and stop just as easily -- That's half the fun. Hope this helps.

hi Becky sorry i have not seen one for 5 or 6 year old - but i think a 5 year old may enjoy this - happy holidays

I don't think this toy inappropriate for kids that old. My daughter is almost 5 yrs old. I think bigger kids will get a kick out of building towers and distroying them.

Yes.I think it is way too big for a five-year-old. It is a big hit with my son whose average size and nine years old. But I suspect he'll be able to use the board for at least three years.

Definitely! That is a great idea! Might be a little more difficult for little ones, but sure my 4.5 year old would love it.

It's a nice 'cuddle' doll but it might be a bit young for a 5 year old. I guess it would depend on the 5 year old.

I think it would certainly be appropriate. The game moves up in complexity as the child grasps the more basic concepts. I have a 6.5 year old daughter who enjoys this game very much and finds it challenging enough not to be boring.

I don't think a five year old would have the motor skills to fly this. This is probably not a good toy for anyone under the age of 8-10.
