what age is this appropriate for? I have a 6 1/2 year old daughter who loves crafts

My daughter is 7 and she uses it and can make bracelets on her own. Some of the designs are simple chains, etc, which are pretty easy to get the hang of. I have to help her for some of the more difficult bracelets, but she's always involved picking out the colors and putting them on the loom, etc. The worst thing about it is all the little rubber bands that we're picking up constantly! :-)

Mine is four grader. I think as young as 8 can start to loom. You have to be patient to work on loom and able to follow instructions of You tube. Need lots of help from parent if u are young. But anyone can start simple fishtail pattern with two fingers! You just need to buy rubber bands! If you want more challenge pattern and level of bracelet, you need the loom set. Worth to invest!

It is fine for a 6 year old, but she might get board of it after a while of using it. I think she would love it.

I am not certain but apparently little girls of all ages love this. My niece separated all her colors and put them in Ziploc sandwich bags to keep them sorted. I have now seen candy canes made out of them, hair holders, bracelets, etc. Quite nice and fun!

my six year old loves it. Her daycare friends are also making them - there are instructions as well as youtube videos to help if she (or you) get stuck like we did.

One of my daughter's whom I bought this for is actually 6-1/2 and she loves it! I've gone on YouTube to find videos on how to do many of the different styles of these bracelets and then I help my daughters (my other daughter is 10). We have a good time with it. :-)

My daughter and some of her friends make these but one has to hold the loom and then they take turns my daughter is 12 some of the girls are younger and some are just a year or 2 older. Debbie

I bought this set for my daughter's 12 birthday and she loved it! I guess this will also work for younger girls if they are crafty. Hope this helps!

I'd say 2-5 yr olds. My 4.5 yr old still loves it, but some things will be almost too small soon. My 2 yr old loves it but some things are a little too fragile for her and she damages things.

The toy states "6 and up". My six year old daughter can't quite manipulate the toy enough to get any real enjoyment. My 10 year old nephew can, however. I would buy this item for 8+. If the kid is really into puzzles, maybe 6.

My kids love ours. It is kinda of difficult for anyone under ten, so parent may need to assist. It's not cheap plastic. I was happy with the purchase. You can buy string from a craft store, too, just fyi :)

I think it is not appropriate for a 2 year old. Since the pieces come apart and are choke size, I would not recommend it for this age.

I gifted it to a 7 yr. old. I'm sure any girl would like this. Kids love crafts and I was told this is the newest trend. So I'm sure the birthday girl will love it, especially if she has a crafty mom, grandmother or aunt to help her.

My daughter is 3 years old and it is a good skill to simply thread the beads onto the string. She will string, strip, and restring time and time again. For my daughter who is 3 it is a great set.

Hi Candace, According to the write up on the loom, it is suitable for children aged six and up. I gave a loom to each of my nieces, aged six, eleven and eleven. All of them had fun with their looms, even the six year old! :=) I've placed the address to the write up below my signature. ~E~Harrisville Designs 7" Potholder (Traditional Size) Loom Kit, Makes 2 Potholders

Mybgranddaughternwas 3 when I gave it to here. She is 6 and her sister is now 3 and they still play with it. It is plain but well constructed. An 8yr old would probably have lots of fun decorating it.

A six year old should be fine with this overall. There may be a few pieces that require more dexterity however the majority of the pieces should be just fine for someone age 6. Many hours of creative fun!

I would say YES. I have my seven year old grand daughter helping me with this and if we keep the patterns pretty simple to start with she has no problem and loves it. She is getting one for Christmas.

I would guess that for typically developing children, ages 3-6 would be the target range. They're not the smaller size generally found in plastic alpha beads. They're large enough for little fingers to manipulate and for them to enjoy beading without adult assistance. I hope that helps.

Not surr but my 4 yr old does great with it..i would guess 3-12 or even a little older. Lots of fun for the whole family.

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.
