Is this set too small for an 8 year old?

The manufacturer recommends ages 3-8, however a previous reviewer said 4-10 in her estimation. I think it mostly depends on your kids' size and skill level. If they are over 8 but relatively small for their age, this set should work great. On the other hand if they are a tall/big kid for their age or they've grown in skill level and need a bigger kit, go for a different set.

I'd only be guessing, but 10 to 12 inches?! We purchased for a two year old. Really depends on your child's size, but they grow up, so it won't be too big for too long. Great little set.

We got the set for our 3 year old granddaughter. However she has two sisters ages 5 and 8 and all three of them play with the set and love it. So from our experience I would say it's age appropriate for 3 to 8 year olds, maybe older.

How small is the child? I think it would be good for maybe not younger than an 8 year old

Yes, too small. My four-year old loves this, but needs help putting things together.

I believe the other set is more complex, perhaps for older children. I chose this set for my 2 year old very inquisitive grandson.

Hi Mardee, I ordered this set for my 2 year old son and he is on the smaller side. The table and chairs fit him perfectly and it is so easy to assemble that my 6 year old daughter can assemble the table and both chairs. This is my second set and the first set lasted 8 years. I recommend this product.

Yes, it will be too big to use right now. However your grandson could play with the hat and other accessories that are part of the set.

No. The pieces are really tiny, there are many of them and it's a really small model. My 9 year old grandson was a bit overwhelmed by the tiny, tiny size. Would not recommend for a 7 year old

Honestly, my 4 year old uses it and he probably could have used it when he was 3 with no problems! May actually be too small for an 8 year old.

Sorry for the delayed response as I have been on vacation. My daughter loves this set for our grandson and says it will work for a child of the age and size you describe.

yes, to big for an 8 year old, but you could put rubber bands around the wrists to hold them on. Could be extra funny, depending on the games, would add a "makes the games harder and more Funny"!

The pieces are really, really small. I would either pick a more basic set for my 3-4 year old, or plan on only taking it out once in a while. My kids were done with stuff in their mouths by 2, but these little pieces would be lost and somewhere in the vacuum canister before too long. It's a fun set, just likely to have pieces go missing if not played and put away carefully.

I purchased this set for my 4 yr grandson. I feel it would be too small for an 11 yr old.

Unless your 3 year old is very tall it would not be a problem. ..my 31/2 year old grand daughter still uses her set

I bought sets for both my 6 year old and my 10 year old. I wouldn't recommend them for a child younger than 6, they do have some small pieces.

Sort of...I bought this for my 3 year old last year. His sister is 9 this year and she's about 4'8" (she's talk too) and she still plays them...but they look kind of small when she is sitting and playing. They are a really nice set though, much better than anything out there for the price. To even get close it was almost 2x the price! Hope that helps!
