could an 6 year old girl draw in it and could you do free hand?

The age on the package is 8+, but I assume that is because the kit includes stencils made of card stock, which are probably not very sturdy. The sketch pad can definitely be used for freehand drawing, but I believe faces are printed on the paper & then the stencils are for different outfits you can draw onto the figure.

My 6 year old can, I'll try it out on my 3 year old tomorrow and update. I believe I have seen him open it before though.

I'm not sure. My four year old is right handed. My two year old is left handed but he doesn't use the stencils for it yet.

My 4 year old has shot it. Seems to be a really nice bow. If your youngster is small they may not be able to draw it very easily. My little girl is about 4 1/2 yrs and she is nearly 54" tall and 49lbs. She can draw fairly comfortably but some of my small 4-h kids that are couch potatoes are having trouble with it. For $40 they wont have to wait long if they cannot now.

Yes, but it isn't as precise as you would think. If it's just for kids drawing for fun it's great. For professional artists I'm not sure it would be up to that sort of standard.

I'm an adult and left handed and haven't had a problem. My daughter is 6 and is right handed. Either way is fine... It isn't "handed." You can use either hand to hold or draw the bow back.

Absolutely! If a child loves to paint and draw this is a very handy opportunity. A child that age would be able to organize the easel's compartments for his/her own needs. As young grade school children do not get much time for artwork in school, this is a definitely opportunity for creativity.

Not really, b/c the table tray has the edge that sticks up and the soft side is a bit too soft for that.I have a 6yo and she chooses another surface for drawing.

My daughter just turned 7 and is also left handed. She has a little trouble getting the bow to full draw. The bow is set up for both left and right handed shooters.

I think it would be very frustrating for a 6 year old alone. I worked on it with my granddaughter and it was hard for us and she is much older than 6.

Your 6 year old will be able to work it by himself/herself and will be able to use the special features (like the animations). Your 3 year old would like it too, but would need some help with the mechanics of it. Hope this helps!

I believe it would be a little hard for a five-year-old. If you don't have a flow down to move the pen just right, the plastic circle that creates the shapes will pop out from the border. So, a five-year-old would probably have it pop out all the time and get frustrated with it, rather than believe it to be fun. My daughter is nine and it took her some time to perfect the flow of making them.

No it is a right hand draw only. It will not work if your trying to draw with left hand.

Yes. I bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter. She is small for her age so I crossed the ties and it worked great. She loves wearing it when she's painting.

I had a four year old and a six year old play with it at my house. The 4 year old could not do it. The 6 year old made mistakes but was able to make the designs and have fun. With a little practice he would have been fine. So the first few times, parent will need to direct and assist, but then it will be enjoyed.

You could use a magnet to hold paper. Drawing would be fine. As long as you don't go too crazy with the paint, it should work. That's not what its made to do.

Absolutely!! I let my kids draw on it all the time using crayons..works great.
