Not in my experience. The fun thing about this racetrack and cars is the unlimited variety the track can be designed into but I did buy 2 tracks. My grandchildren LOVE it, even up to 8 1/2 y/o. The track is very durable and kid-friendly. The cars are not as durable but I am so glad to see cars are available separately.

Nope.... Its not that impressive...it's ok for a little one but not a serious 5 year old ;)

Hi!This is a very challenging Chima set. My 6 yo grandson is experienced with these large sets and follows the instruction book very carefully page by page. His mother often sets the pieces out for him which makes it easier and on ocassion answers his question. I would start on an easier set unless the child has a lot of experience with more complex Lego sets and figures and has a lot of patience. Our grandson did complete this set with minimal help from his mother. He loves it.

They are normal, simple lego pieces. If he likes to just build, this would be a good set to either complement his other sets or just to build smaller items with his imagination.

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 and no. By itself "starter set" just means it has everything a kid would need to have bunch of different vehicles and such to play with at once instead of buying multiple sets. Normally Lego does only one vehicle or such in a set that cheap but this way a kid can play with just one set and have enough to enjoy it. As for the age, once a kid is good with Lego everything is easy so it just becomes a function of whether it's something he'd enjoy.

I bought this set for my 5 year old and he did fine with it! It took a week but he did it!! :)

I checked with my daughters to see what they thought about the answer to your question since they are the ones who actually did put this puzzle together. They both agreed that it may not be the best puzzle for a 5 year old to do. The back of each puzzle piece is numbered very small so it may be difficult for a youngster to do. Hope this helps.

I first encountered these in a preschool class but I agree that, like Legos, the fun grows with age and the more complicated the designs. I would make the proviso that the older the kid, the more magna tiles sets are needed.

Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well. If the boys play together well, there would be opportunities for car races and other creative play, especially if you have other car toys and can combine activities. As a former preschool teacher, I like the older one mentoring the younger and encouraging joint play! They could make block tunnels and obstacles, etc. I have many of the Fisher Price items that have endured years of play from my grown kids and now are being reused for our five grandkids under three years of age. Enjoy these times as a family! Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well.

You may be pushing the upper age range. My 6 year old enjoyed it since it was bigger pieces to work with, but he has since gone strictly to legos.

Each set starts with easy circuits and works up to more complicated ones. Get a starter set and the you can add other sets to that. We have the green energy set, but the lights and sounds one would be good too. Older kids will be just as interested as younger ones.

If he likes it at school, he'll like it at home... the question is whether you should acquire the large set or just a "starter" for now... that's up to you!

It's simple but not simple enough for a 4 year old. They are a snug fit so it would be tough for a little one in my opinion
