Would these be too young for a 5-year-old?

I don't think this toy inappropriate for kids that old. My daughter is almost 5 yrs old. I think bigger kids will get a kick out of building towers and distroying them.

No, our 2 year old loves them. As a child, my church had them, and I enjoyed playing with them until I was much older than 5.

I don't believe so, my boys are 4,6, and 13.....they all enjoy building things with them

I played with these when I was 5-6 and I still remember how much fun these were 54 years later. They inspire creativity by allowing children to construct castles, bridges, or anything they can dream up.

If the 5 year old likes to build and/or then knock down these would be perfect!

A five year old girl will want to build a princess palace, a five year old boy will want to destroy it with his teenage mutant ninja sword, either way their having fun.

I would say yes that they are too young. My kids did not get into this kitchen set until they were about 3 1/2

They are perfect for kids 5 and up. Light enough for them to carry w/ very little bulk to them. Hope this helps.....

My son is 6 and they work okay for him. I don't think I'd give them to a kid much younger than that. We gave these to him last year for Christmas along with a set of Snap Circuits.

My grandson is 8 and still likes his. I think you'd be safe to get them for him.

some of the experiments would be good for a 5 year old, but always with supervision. Some of the projects that might be more for the 7-9 age group; a 5 year old may not understand the concepts to be learned but he/she would probably enjoy it anyway.

Hi Carol, Yes these radios are easy enough for a 5 year old to use. However I would recommend something more durable though. My only concern is that if these were to be dropped, the battery pack will not fit back into the radio. During a test that I performed myself at school, I dropped one from a typical height of about 4 ft. and the battery pack did not fit in properly. The reasoning be that the metal hooks that the pack slides into to hold the battery in place were bent. Then again, for the price, with a few clicks, it can be yours. So yes easy to use, just remind everybody to be gentle. Hope this helps, please don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions! Hi Carol, Yes these radios are easy enough for a 5 year old to use.

Yes they are suitable for a 6 year old. I love them and so does everyone else in my family.

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

Probably not....they are really small. They are made for a toddler not a ten year old. Was very disappointed when they came. They are just so tiny.

Depends on the kid but I think a 5 yr old should be ok specially if you spend a little bit of time upfront and played with her few times. This is a fun and educational game. She will enjoy it.

They are quite small. Probably not best for real young children. Five and up probably best.

It would be pushing it. I have a skinny niece who just turned 6, and she MIGHT be able to fit into them. The knee pads, yes; the elbow pads, probably not. I would say for an average 5 year old, I would look elsewhere. At best, you could get 6-months out of these pads for a 5 year old before they outgrew them.

5 year old these days I would say yes. My kid is 10 now but at 5 she had a DS and was playing games like this so depends on the child I think.

Yes, I think a 5 year old could put this together just fine (with a little help). The pieces are larger than the standard LEGOS. My granddaughter loves it.

Yes. Bought them for my 5 year old grandson for Christmas and he loves them. :)
