What age range is this appropriate?

It depends on the kid's fine motor skills. Half of the 1.5 year olds could do this independently, and the rest needed help. Most kids and adults are hypnotized so it's hard to say when a kid will grow out of it, but probably a pre-teen. (1-10). Look for the original 3D gears, since the new boxes offer a smaller range. The BigWheel and Roundabout are not standard any more.

A 3 yr. old could easily figure out how to link the gears. My 5 yr. old grandson still loves playing with it.

We purchased it for our 3 year old grandson's birthday. He LOVES it and has played with it pretty regularly since November.

Hello,I've just spied this in my e-mail.I would say appropriate age range is 1 year to 91...I find the adults enjoy it as much.

I really like this and I am 51 (I brought it into a high-school pre-calculus class and the students thought it was fun), but I think three year olds could set up the gears with a little help and then definitely make them turn slow or fast and forward and backwards (the controls in the bottom corners in the photo).

I believe it's 3+ but I think a 2.5 year old would be fine with it. My son got it at 2 I think.

I bought it for a 6 year old. Her mom had just started University courses and was on the computer a lot, so I thought this might be fun for her "to work" with mommy. Since real computers have now entered many classrooms, I'd say for kids no older than 7 or 8 years old.

It would depend on the child. I would think for sure until 6. It's a good size. Just depends on the child's interests.

I purchased this for a friend's granddaughter who is 18 months. She loves to pretend to fill cups and other things. As it is a Christmas gift, I don't know if it is age appropriate. I will follow up after Christmas.

We gave it to my nephew who is 2. My son (almost 5) loves playing with it too. I'd say 2-6 is probably a good age range.

I would say from ages 2-5. The pieces are big enough not to be a hazard for young kids.

A five year old could "use" it but it would depend on the child as to whether they could Play it or not. I would say 7-9 is probably a good age to introduce a child to this if they had no musical background. Saying that, it is an instrument you could purchase/acquire and play with around them and they may be able to pick it up at a much earlier age. Well built, but not a "toy".

I would say yes, if the child isn't too small. Like maybe no younger than 7 or 8 . . . .

I believe it's 18 months and up, but I guess it would be up to you and your child. My son is 21 months old and loves it, I don't think he would have been ready for something like this at 16 months.

It really depends on the size of your child; but I would guess between the ages of 4 to 8.

My 3 year old and 5 year old played with it for a half hour and haven't touched it since. It would be age appropriate if they like it as mine is gathering dust.

It is for kids ages 8 and up. But I think younger kids could use it as well.

Depends on the child but I'd say no .... closer to 5 should be the starting age

Yes it would be appropriate in my opinion. Our grandson will be 5 and we bought this for him last year and he still spends hours playing with it. It is a great buy and very well made.

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.
