How hard is it for a child to assemble the pieces by themselves? Some runs are difficult to "click" together hoping Discovery would be better.

3-4 year olds can easily do it if they watch an adult show them how to put a closed end over the open end and visa versa. That is what makes this toy so incredible. It teaches the child to think and plan. I used it 25 years in a special needs preschool.

Our 8 year old did not have any trouble, the 3 year old had a bit of difficulty handling it and we had to help which was alot of fun and besides a 3 year old should not be unsupervised with this type of toy anyway because of choking concerns.

A Christmas present for my granddaughters. I watched them put a run together with their dad and mum over the holiday and on their own. They seemed to manage well once they had been shown the knack.

I think a child could put this together fairly easy. I work with special needs children and use this as a treatment activity for them to help me out it together. I give them very little help (the kids I use it with have difficulty using one arm)

Depends on the child's age, I guess. I found this product very flimsy and unstable. I actually returned it, because it was very bad quality for the price they ask.

Honestly, it's harder for me than my Three Year Old grandson! He has no trouble at all. He has learned the concept of sorting out the straight edges and corner pieces first.

It seems to me that it would be difficult. We put my grandson's together last Christmas and it is still in his room assembled and being used. You may be able to assemble and disassemble a few times.

We bought it for my 10 year old & he enjoyed it. He has more patience than our 11 yr old, so I think it will be great. The pieces are way tinier than standard Lego, so that makes it challenging.

I put it together with a friend. The pieces can be a bit awkward to maneuver but I think you would be able to do it alone.

I don't think too easy. There are enough modes (14) to make it fun.My son is 7 and I have to help him with the main body part especially and pushing some of the stiffer parts together.

My preschool grandkids are always asking for help to put something together. Personally I sometimes have a problem putting things together. A child with imagination could really enjoy creating there own cars. I think it is a great hands on toy for all ages!

I gave one to my 12-year-old grandson last year, and he solved it within a half hour, so way too easy for him. I would think a child between 6 and 10 would probably enjoy it the most. It needs to be somewhat difficult for them, or it won't hold their attention. It was a lot of money for 1/2 hour entertainment.

You can build different structures. It's easy for a child to do. Depending on age, might need a little help.Really a fun, creative toy.

You have to put them together. It is not that hard. I did it by myself in a short period of time.

I would start with another only because it has 622 pieces. My son is 6 and we'd been doing many and it took us 3 days. Following the steps & attention to do is all but you can do over a few days. It turned out great!

I have not started this one with my five yr old grand daughter. The tree house legomwas way too hard and frustrating for her. We decided to make a park instead and she and I had much more fun with no frustration and lots of fun and her creativity.some pieces too little for her to use. Needs more coordination with small pieces.we do love Legos.our eight and ten year olds are Lego masters. Camper will probably take several hours of work. Enjoy

The instructions are very simple. (Just 1 or 2 steps per page.) However, there are some really tiny pieces, so I guess it all depends on the kid. I had to help my 6yr old, b/c he ran out of patience... (But, I had fun!)

Random configurations are possible, but it requires a more in-depth understanding of how all the pieces work. You can easily create configurations that won't work at all. For the most part, I'd say construction requires adult help for children under, say, 8?

I wouldn't say it was difficult to assemble at all. The instructions were clear and parts were individually labeled. However, there are a lot of parts.... so it is definitely time consuming. Unpacking and assembly took approximately 2 - 3 hours. It's fairly heavy, so having a second person would be helpful at times.

might be a little hard for him to snap the pieces together. and might not understand enough about "structure" to be able to build a car that holds together. It will depends on how much he builds with things already - blocks, legos. these are a bit trickier - b/c they are more like joints and can bend every which way vs. a blocks that are straight on top of each other. better for 5+

My 7 year old cousin was able to assemble some more simple k'nex, but I ended up doing this one myself. The instructions can get kinda confusing if you don't follow them closely; a 6 year old could definitely help though.
