Thinking of this as a gift for a 9.5 year old? Do you think this quilt is too "young" for her and will she be able to grow with it for a few years?

I think this quilt would be perfect for both now and years to come! There is the polka dot/butterfly side and a pink side with flowers.

It's more appropriate for a little girl. my daughter is only 4 years old and her bed look totally fine with it, the quality of the product is exceptional and the service of the company is good to.

I don't think it's too young for a nine year old; it would be appropriate for a few years more.

In my personal opinion I think it would be great for that age group. The print doesn't have any "babyish" prints like animals, etc that I think would bother an older girl. My girls (4 1/2 twins) have this on their bed with pink padded headboards & pink & white polka dot accent pillows with feather trim. I bought this set intentionally to get them at least until their teenage years. I hope that helps!

The quilt has a good bit of weight to it. In my case, I think part of that reason is because it hangs longer off the sides. This quilt is beautiful, I've received so many compliments. It's perfect for winter and I still have it on my bed going into summer, albeit I do have to kick it off if me and just use the sheet.

If possible, I would buy more than 30 pieces. Get the largest set you can, because the joy will be more long-lasting. If he is playing them with a friend, that would only be 15 pieces each, and it is hard to build something with just 15 pieces. However, if you can only afford 30 pieces, he would enjoy it tremendously. I can pretty well guarantee that if you buy the 30 set, you will be back to buy a larger set to add to it. This is the most fun toy ever created, seriously. The pieces click together with magnets, and lend themselves to a wide variety of shapes. You will probably end up playing with them as much or more than your 9 year old. God bless. Marian Liveley

I would say yes, it would be fine for a 9 yr. old. The pillow pet is not really good to cuddle with because of the hard plastic case on top. but the "fur" is very soft. My 5 yr old granddaughter and I enjoy laying in the dark watching the lights shine on the ceiling. She often falls asleep during the light show. The pillow pet has a 20 minute (I think 20) timer and turns itself off.

I bought one for my grandaughter who is 10 and she absolutely loves it. I bought two more so when she gets together with friends they can all make the bracelets. They plan to sell some at a craft show this springtime with her mom who has a table for scrapbooking.

I think it will be too small for a 9-11 year old. It is perfect for our 5 year old and he is small for his age.

My son is 2.5 yrs old. He loves it but I feel he doesn't get full use out of the little details, like hoisting the sails etc. So I could only imagine an older child would enjoy it even more! If he likes pirates, ships or imaginative play, I think he would love it. I was really surprised by the quality. ...I hope this helps a little :-)

I think because it will fit a day bed, rather than a single bed. I am using it on a day bed and I also havea skirt on the day bed. I must say I really like the quilt.

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period. Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns.

We bought it for our 10 year old grandson. He loved it! 5 years old might be ok, but you would have to set it up and give him some guidance on it.

I would not recommend it for under 7 years old. Lots of small pieces and can be intricate to assemble.

This a pretty little set, the quilt is a complete square and the weight of the fabric is really only suitable for spring or summer, it has no real warmth but would be nice over a fleece or fuzzy blanket for a little one. As for the exact measurements of the quilt, kit is about 40-45 inches by 4045 inches give or take , it is just about the right size for a crib . I may be off by a couple inches because it is not here with me , it is with my granddaughter . but as i said it is a square quit and not rectangle. Although this quilt was bought for spring weather when our baby girl very little , i know she still likes it because of the colors and pattern. she won't let her mother put it away because she likes the colors. Hope this helped and much happiness you, the family and your wonderful baby.

There are some small peices. I don't think it is suitable for younger than 3 years old.

We purchased for a 5 year old. I would think a 9 year old would be border line too old. May be a better investment to purchase a larger one.

This quilt is pretty sturdy...I've had it for months now through several washings, and it is the same soft, strongly stitched quilt. I think it would hold up to a small dog just fine.

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.)

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.
