is it age appropriate for a five year old

I gifted this set to my grandaughter when she turned 2. She is now 5 and still plays with it with her younger sisters. It is a great toy but I would say a 5 year old may tire of it quickly.

Yes. I bought this for my 3 year old. She's now 5, and still loves to play with it.

This is too easy for a 5 year old; they will get bored with it in 10 seconds.

My son is two and a half and loves it, but his 5 year old cousin comes over to play and loves it just as much!

Definitely appropriate for 5 year old, my nephew got his @ age five. Think the manufacturer is accounting for both play without anyone watching, as well as minds that are not ready yet

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

my 4 year old grandson loves it but I personally feel like a 5 year old would be able to play with it better than a 4 year old.

Yes. I bought it for my grandson who was five at the time. It was his favorite gift

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

I'm not sure how big your five year old is but it seems like it might be small. I use this for my 2 year old and his sister who is 10 mos.

Hmmm... Maybe? My son is now 5 and he likes to play with it still, but not often. I would say that it'll be fun for any child until they can master the directions and tools on their own. If your 5-year-old likes to put together Legos on his own, he could have some time left with this toy!

Honestly for a 5 year old I think it would be. Maybe around 8. I am not a parent myself but there is some problem solving and time management issues that may be too advanced for a 5 year old. The controls are also not very intuitive for Pikmin 3 so they may get frustrated with that.

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 would say a five-year-old is too old for this toy. More like a two-year-old.

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.

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.

Yes it is perfect for Children 5 to 13. It is not a toy and has metal strings.

Yes, actually a 5 year old could play on this set. It is really fun, and in that you can play them with a headset so as not to get the rest of the family, or the near by neighbors upset while your 5 year old is learning to play!

Hi K. Carone, Ummm, it depends on the size of the 5 yr old. But I don't think so. My boyfriend assists our 4 yr old with riding it. So I think it's fine.

Yes it would be good for a 5 year old. We have both the original and the Junior. Our 6 year loves the junior! She could have easily played it at 5. I hope you enjoy!
