Trying to decide whether to "pull the trigger" &amp; purchase this for my granddaughter age 5. Is there a difference between othe

I really don't know if this toy will be more fun than the others or not. What I notice after few weeks was that the excitement fades away after a week. What made my daughter play with it longer was the dolls which doesn't come with it. She made me purchase like 5 dolls and she would sit them at the living room, at the kitchen and she would pretend they talk to each other. With out the dolls it would be like any other toys that just sit there and collect dust.

I bought that deluxe set for my 11 year old grandson and bought the simpler versions for my 4, 5, and 6 year old grandsons. I am sure that part of it is more complicated than others and it is a toy she can grow into gradually. I really have not checked how the kids are doing with these...they were Christmas gifts.

My granddaughter turned 9 and was her birthday present. Along with lessons. Her instructor complimented the guitar and she is totaly capable in learning and playing it. But I do presume it would depend on the childs frame size. If she is petite i would search for something smaller or wait a few years.

My granddaughter turned 1 in November. I bought her the small one so she could keep her feet on the ground and push around. She can also lie across the body and scoot. Do not worry that the small one will be too small in a year or so. My three year old grandson has the larger one, but he likes to ride on either one, and gladly rides the smaller one so his 7 year old brother can use the larger one for racing around the house. If your granddaughter likes the toy, she will ride it for many years. "Grandma to 3 in AZ".

I agree wholeheartedly that it depends on the child. Our daughter received her ds at 5 and had no problems using it right away. Our son just turned 3 and we're considering purchasing something similar for him because he already knows how to do some things on the computer and work portions of my iphone. If you think the stylus may be too difficult for him to handle at this age, go with the leapster or let them try an old gameboy perhaps.

The company has it listed at 7.4lbs dry (no scope, rings). It's not overly hefty and unless your granddaughter is a very dainty little wisp of a thing she should be able to heft it and hunt afield with it without too much trouble. It does require some effort to cock the thing. I'd be more concerned about her ability to charge the weapon if she would intend to use it without assistance. A 12 year old girl might have a little trouble there.

I would agree with the other 2 posters. This is more for young toddlers ages 1-4, more so a beginner doll house. She would probably get board with this at her age range. Your granddaughter is at the kindergartner age.

I bought it last year and my daughter was 6. She still loves it and her friend that's 9 asked for one for Christmas. My daughter would draw on her toys when she was little so I wouldn't even think about buying a more expensive doll for her at age 2 or 3. So I would think age 4 & up. Hope this helps!

No. Kids love this kind of thing. As far as small children are concerned, it seems to me that many parents buy things that are too advanced for the age of the child. From all the reviews I've read on various toys, this is a very common practice. Use your own judgement. The six year old will be happy with it.

She is the perfect age range! It will help her to identify the animals and colors. Once she gets them the game will move along quickly! My grands are 4 & 5 and they love it. I wish I had the game when they were younger. Since my daughter is intellectually delayed, she enjoys the game tremendously. She loves the adult version as well. I hope this helps!

4/5 & up. My 3 yr old granddaughter plays with us but doesnt have the patience or knows the concept yet. That is why i stated 4 or 5 as long as playing with someone older.

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older. My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old.

Yes it would be good for a 5 year old. We have both the original and the Junior. Our 6 year loves the junior! She could have easily played it at 5. I hope you enjoy!

Be sure to take the child's age and maturity into account before purchasing. My Granddaughter is 12 and loves it

The two are exactly the same, There are just two colors for you to choose from, and they had to take two different pictures obviously. The price difference usually means that one color has different availability than the other. For example, there are more pink ones available than blue ones, so the blue option is just a tad bit more expensive. For what it's worth, I have the blue one, and with all the reviews of the pink one, it's exactly the same. I wouldn't worry about it. Go ahead and get it while it's still cheap. TOTALLY worth it. It's my favorite toy.

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

I have not seen it but my boys (8 & 9) want it too, so we think we may spring for it. BUT a word of advice from a mom who bought way too many toys too early for them (when the were 5 & 6). Wait. We bought a pool/ping pong/air hockey combo table and it's trashed. All the games we bought for them at that age are missing pieces. Unless your 6 yr old is really mature, I would wait a year or two if I were you.
