Would this be too young for a 5 1/2 year old?

This toy would be great for a five year old. My daughter is eight and it is one of her prized possessions. She has loved My Little Pony since she was four and her whole collection still sees a lot of use. Twilight Sparkle is her favorite so I didn't mind the expense. It is very durable. The head moves, the horn and wings light up. She wheels around and the wings move as she moves. The downside is how loud she is and she says the same thing over and over. Don't worry, there's and on/off switch. I recommend this toy if your daughter loves My Little Pony.

No, it would be frustrating and could not be handled by a five year old. This is something for someone much older. Wait about 12-13 years.

Yes, this is a wonderful toy for those that can't have a real dog yet. I got this for my 4 year old granddaughter and the two one year olds were interested in it as well. This should be perfect for your 2-1/2 year old. It will bark in the package if you walk by it so keep it hidden. It is a cute toy.

My 2.5 year old loves it, and he has yet to break anything on it. I think it would work out.

It would probably be too small for a 5 year old. Our granddaughter started using it at 18 months old.

I bought this for my 2 year old and her 5 year old brother plays with it also with her, but honestly I think it might be a little small for a five year old. My 2 1/2 year old loves it though.

5 year old has been playing on it for quite some time now . He has never complained. So i would say NO

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

No, not at all. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter manages it okay, but still has room to grow with it. It should be perfect for a 3-4 yr old. It's really nicely constructed, also.

We bought it for our 2 year old and she is still a little but too small an uncoordinated to use it well. She is very small for her age. I think it will be perfect for her at 3-5 years old. It is adjustable so it should work for several years.

Yes it is good for 1.5 year old, although I ordered for my son after his second birthday. I could have ordered earlier if I knew about it that time. My son started liking animals a lot after he turned two, before that it was more of car stuff. There aren't very tiny things in it, smallest is the bush (appx. 1" x 3/4" may be) but yes, I would monitor a toddler 1.5 year old throughout his play.

I think it might be dangerous for a 2 yr. old...it is very fast. There is a model for kids age 2 to 5 which would be safer.

I guess it would depend on how much strength the 5 year old has. I bought it for my grandsons who are 9 and 11. They didn't have a hard time with it.

My 18 month old niece loves it but mainly drives it around. I would say the learning and building part would be great for ages 2.5-5.

I think so...we got this for our,then,2 year old granddaughter...she loves it and plays with it a lot, but an almost 5 year old might outgrow it very quickly. It is short....but very cute.

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

I think it would work perfectly for your 2 year old. However, it might be a bit too small for your 5 year old. I believe it's up to 44", so his feet will probably be almost touching the ground-cuttinf it too close.
