how much should I buy a 5 year old?

Start with one to see how much your child enjoys it. If it's a big hit, then get more.

I would say one box per child is sufficient. I have 4 children ages 5,3, 2, and 2 and they all have their own box to play with. It's really and awesome molding toy. As a mom, I like kinetic sand so much better than PlayDoh. Kinetic sand doesn't dry out like PD and it doesn't stick to anything and everything like PD does. Such a fun sensory toy for kids of all ages. My husband even thinks it's pretty great :-)

One package is all my 5-year-old has and he is ever so content to mold it, spread it out to make roads for his cars, or to "bake" a yummy birthday cake for his Mommy.

I would say get 2 boxes worth, one to play with, and the other for when the first is spread all over the house, lol! I would suggest some sort of sand box through for it to be played in, just like normal sand bits of this get all over! It is far cleaner and lots more fun then normal sand though.

My 4 year old nephew loved it this past weekend, I believe the tractor holds up to 100 pounds so the 5 year old should be fine, but maybe a little squished height wise.

The red can close the child into their own little room with cover. Nice for winter hiking or bright sunny days when they need shade. I bought the red for $120.... after owning it I'd be willing to pay $150-160... $300 is ridiculous. Check Ebay and they're trading for $80.

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

Our grandson is 2 and 35". He fits great with lots of room to spare, and usually has two smallish dogs in there with him. I think it would still be comfortable to a five year old at your suggested weight and height. Kids usually curl up in bean bag style furniture anyway, so weight and height might not be that much of an issue.

Honestly better for a five year old. Some of the tricks are difficult for even a five year old. A parent needs to watch the video and work with the child. Our grandson is 5 and with coaching and practice could perform a few tricks for his preschool class. I would suggest 5 minimum but best for 6 to 9 years old.

Hi Asheka, Absolutely it can be used for a 5yr old. That's good parenting; get them aligned with a healthy and organic consciousness at an early age. It's the best product I've found thus far...

It depends on the size you get it comes in various inches. but they do have them for 5 and 6 year old's you may want to get the 16 inch instead.

It depends on how big the 5 year old is. I gave it to my nephew when he was 7 and it was not too heavy for him.

Although it says up to five years old, the child would be limited in his or her use of it if they are an average size. For me I would not buy it .

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

I think it would work perfectly for your 2 year old. However, it might be a bit too small for your 5 year old. I believe it's up to 44", so his feet will probably be almost touching the ground-cuttinf it too close.

This picture has one less rung than ours but we put 1000 in ours for our 3 year old. You could use less depending on your child's size. Mine is tall so we had to have depth to avoid hotti the bottom. We bought balls at Wal-Mart for I think $10 per hundred.

It depends on the child but I would say around 2 and my 5 year old still plays with it.

My 18 month old loves, loves, loves the couch - and I can see it lasting for her at least a few more years - but I wouldn't recommend it for a 5 year old. I don't think that it would offer much support if they try to lean back on it. Certainly not if they lean against the arms, as they already bend a little for my 18 month old.

I got this for my 8 year old Daughter, she loved it. I think it's not too heavy for a 5 year old, my opinion.

We bought ours for 2 and 4 and they were perfect for them to enjoy. 5 and 4 are ok--they main thing ours did was jump and sit on them. Age 5 will probably want to jump also and need to watch closely that seams don't break.
