Would these holds be appropriate for a child who's a beginner?

Yes, we bought them to make a large climbing wallmfor our i7ds and they are great. They are fantasic replicas and will grow nicely with your climbing skills.

Yes. My 4 year old daughter had never climbed on holds before I built her a 9' tall by 6' wide wall. I was very pleased with the quality and size of the holds. Most of the holds had a pronounced lip to grip and only a few were smooth and hard for her to grip.

Yes. My 7 and 5 year old love the large holds. They are nice quality as well.

Most children's holds are larger and colored plastic. These holds are smaller and feel like real rock. For an easier grip, simply install these holds so that the larger (and usually flatter) portion is at the top. As you can see in the picture, some of the holds are smaller, but there were plenty of the larger sizes for me to use on my child's playset. My son is 3 1/2 years old. He had no trouble using the holds on the very first try.

absolutely. i have used them since my daughter was 2. She doesn't mind them at all and the size is perfect for kids!

My niece was 3 when she got them and she could move along on her own. I would think a 21/2 year old would need a hand to hold on to.

It depends on how tall the kids are:) I did a 4x8 wall and needed 15 of the hand holds due to my grandson (age 4) being a little guy. I started out with ten holds but he had a hard time reaching from one to the other.

Absolutely!! They are brightly colored little "vehicles", soft and sized nicely for any size hands! My 3 yr. old granddaughter enjoys them as much as her little brother, and understands the "pull-back and release" concept.

Yes, for small toys. They are very light and easy for a toddler to lift themselves. Since they are plastic, they are very durable and impervious to liquids. The handles are easy to hold for little hands.

Yes, they are very solid holds; just make sure to use long enough screws. I also added lock washers on my set to help prevent the screw from becoming loose. Love these hand holds!

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them for that purpose, even for third graders. They just don't have a whole lot of tensile strength. Plus the edges are honestly kind of thin and sharp, not exactly what you want around kids. :)

They are big enough I would say yes, just make sure they don't nibble on them. They are good for starting out drawing or writing because they are easy to hold.

It depends on the size of the child of course. (Yesterday, my 10 year-old grandson stood next to a six year-old who had him by twenty pounds.) In general though I agree that they will be bigger than ideal for a child six or younger. That doesn't mean they are not useable, in fact my granddaughter seems to like that big look and feel.)

I think you would be better off buying something made for a child. These have a lot of flexibility and I don't think they would stay on a child very well.

I don't think so, as they are pretty large. You can get much smaller ones that are still good for kids.Also, get ones with a cord so they can rest it hanging from their neck (but don't let them run around with the cord around their neck!!) ALWAYS SUPERVISE CHILDREN VERY CLOSELY.

Yes I would go with these for your weight. If you go to the next level up it will be much harder to learn. And you can always replace the springs if you grow out of them. They will adjust to your feet with the binding straps. These are EXTREMELY hard to find in store which is why I ordered mine online.

No. They are not that strong and that's for a reason. This is for small kids to play. If it were that strong, they would have a tough time getting them apart and putting them together.

I think so. My 6 year old and 3 year old use them on our climbing wall. You can also make it more challenging based on the grip of each climbing hold. I have an easier section for my 3 year old and a harder section for my 6 year old.

I purchased these for my grandsons and honestly don't know how well they worked out for them. They are beginners too.

I think they will be best for that actually, that and light weight items. My son has are too big and heavy so it tips over and I have to prop it up. The handles tore easily for ones with out toys but it still functions well.
