Is this good for a sharp almost 3 year old girl. Grandma does not wish to buy all girlie stuff.

I'm a grandma too. I bought this for my grandsons, age 4 and 6. I think she would enjoy playing with it-lots of creativity. Her ability to build more complex structures will increase over time. (I must admit I enjoy playing with it too.)

Yes, they are amazing. It comes with a booklet for ideas, but I love to see what my 6 year old grandson and 3 year old granddaughter come up with. They are Grandpa's favorite!

It is amazing for development, and entertains endlessly. My almost 4 yr old still plays with her set I purchased last Christmas. She is very reluctant to share them with her other siblings!!! I highly recommend this toy.

this is a great toy for both girls and boys. I can honestly say that these are probably the best toy investment I have ever made. I purchased my first set 4 years ago and have added several set since then. my children still play with them at least once a week even though many, many other toys have came and went in our household!

This is very good for even a 3 year old and this is a set that will grow with the child and makes room for creativity and variety as they get older.

Yes, they are very easy to build with and so versatile. When my daughter is feeling "girly" she builds things like castles and carriages for her princesses. It's such a great toy for kids with imagination and safe for even the littlest ones.

Following the step by step guide to make specific shapes may be difficult at age 3, but I still think she would enjoy the magnets. Seeing how magnets work is always intriguing even at a young age. Then as she gets older, making the specific items will become easier and enjoyable for her. My son got some shortly after he turned 4, and he enjoyed them so much that we got this larger set for his 5th birthday.

This is an excellent gift for boys and girls of all ages. I have three children - we got these when the girls were 8 and 4 and the boy was 2 - and they still play with them all the time!

I bought one for my g'daughter when she was 3 & it was a good fit for her. It might be a bit small for a 6 year old, but it may have adjustable handles. I don't remember but you can ask that as a question to find out. My g'daughter loved hers.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply, but this should be appropriate for a 3 year old. I have bought mine for a 2 year old and she already knows how to play with all the little things. I hope I have helped you in anyway possible.Sincerely,

Yes. I got this for my daughter when she was 3.5 and she's 5 now and still enjoys. I do think it's appropriate for 2.5 year old because they will grow with it. There are so many accessory sets. It's fun to get different ones for birthdays, etc.

I think it would work very nicely. She could also sit it on the counter, adjust it for the right distance and have both hands free. I'll bet she is one sharp gal!

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 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.

Yes like a typical adult flatware knife. Our granddaughter can actually cut soft to medium hardness food with it because it is serrated. But the most damage she could probably do to her skin would be a scrape if she pushes hard and pulls it across her skin. (It is NOT like those super sharp serrated kitchen or steak knives)

My daughter is only 18 months, but I have had many friends with this kitchen and their kids used it from 1 year to around 6! It's very sturdy, and because it has so many more details than a lot of the kitchens (microwave, fridge/freezer, oven, cabinet and stove) it makes for more realistic play for older kids. My 5 year old niece loves playing with ours when she is over. Heck, I love playing with it! I definitely think you'd get at least a couple years of use. Plus, it's pretty beastly, so you could probably resell it after that for a pretty good return if it is in good condition.

Maybe, I gave it to my friend's daugther when she was 1 year, she is 2 now, and still play with it though, but I saw a new toy "Read with me Violet" that will be better for your granddaughter in my opinion, take a look on that one too.

We are comfortable with our 3 and 5 year olds using it too. It's a great knife.

I would advise not to give this to any child under three years old. Unless the 2 year old you are asking for is as large as a three year old and as mature as a three year old I would wait. It is a fantastic toy for my three year old grandson who mastered the steering in two days and is only allowed to drive in the low gear until he gains a bit more common sense...he doesn't need more speed yet. I hope this helps you.

Hi Stacey; I bought this item for my 3 year old granddaughter. It was huge hit. It was perfect size for a child 3-6 years old, constructed very well. I was very happy with it and so was she.

Excellent. In fact, I would would not recommend placing the knives at the place setting of a child under 8 because they are quite sharp and little fingers could rub it on the sharp edge and get cut.

I'd say she probably has already outgrown it or will very shortly. My 3 yr old is also very tall and she really doesn't have much interest in her baby sisters toy because it's not comfortable for her.

Absolutely! I bought it for my 1 yr old granddaughter and I am sure she will enjoy it until she is 4, needing less assistance as she gets older. I'm very pleased with the quality.

My almost two year old granddaughter does really well with them. Her three year old friend did manage to snap a couple though.
