Is this software appropriate for a 6 year old child?

Yes, you could use this software for a 6-year old. It has the option of choosing the level of what is being read and gives you the ability to load things your self. That being said, I would not use this for a 6-year old. The program requires consistency and dedication that most (pretty much all) 6-year old children lack. Just you asking the question demonstrates that your child might be exceptional. I would still not do this.

I'm not sure it should be used by a 6 year old because of the danger of getting fingers crushed or pinched but it is easy for an adult to use without much effort

A six year old might need a bit of help getting started and at the end but it really depends on the kid. I gave this to my 9 yr. old.

Well, as long as you're under the age of 8, this will do you just fine. My Nephew is 6. and its working out just great for him. Tune her up, and get to it.. �

yes, it would be too difficult for a six year old. the "basics" would probably be okay for a bright six year old that was able to add simple numbers, however, when you include the "trump/captain" card rules and the strategy necessary to determine when to play your cards and on what ships...that would put the 6 year old at a disadvantage when playing with adults. MAYBE if playing against other kids the same age...who again all knew how to add...but i would recommend against it.

Hello,they have games and apps for older children (which I haven't tried yet since mine are 5 and 2 years old). Plus the new Innotab 2S is Wifi ready so that would probably be really cool for her.

Could you expand on what difficulties your 6 year old has with the DS. Is it the size of the screen, buttons, etc? Or the games being too difficult? Or something else?I already own a DS (for myself) and am debating buying a couple of the children's learning games for my son (3yrs but he is advanced) to use on my system instead of buying him his own system like the Leapster.

I purchased this for my daughter right around 1 yr old and she has not been that into it. I do think it is a bit advanced. My 6 yr old likes to play with it. I think your daughter would enjoy it now and for a bit to come. It is rather small, which I prefer. It doesn't take up a lot of room, yet it has a lot of activities.

The software is a little quirky, so it's good to download the manual (you can download a pdf off their website) in order to better understand its capabilities. Also, make sure their computer can handle the software. Besides that, I don't see why a 14-year-old would have a problem with this software. You can do a lot with it, but it doesn't make it less intuitive.

NO, not at all! I bought it for my grand kids and they love it! ages 2 and 6 =)

No. We just purchased this for our then 6 year-old and imagine we will upgrade in the next year or 2. I'm not terribly impressed by it, but it would be a great first- tablet for a child.

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

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.

I believe not simple for a 6 year old. Rugged but not easy enough for a child. Get a camera that is just for kids and easy for them to hold on to.

An MP3 Player is not a ridiculous gift for a 6 year-old. My son is getting IlluStory for his B-Day and he has an iPod Touch as well. One thing does not affect the other! The world now offers us many possibilities and I am sure kids that have parents aware of what is around will be successful and learn to use all the tools they need now and in the future!

Not if she still engages in imaginative play. My five year old loves it but she still plays house and other scenarios. I would think a 6 year old would like it.

Yes, I think it is suitable for a 6 year old. My nephews are almost 4 and play with it daily. There are features on it that all little boys would enjoy playing with.
