What is the age limits? Is it ideal gift for 8-11 years children?

My Granddaughter has shown in interest in gem stones and the healing aspect since she was around 6. I figure if they don't try to eat it or just thow it around their room, it should be good for most any age. I think being a parent or Grandparent, you will know if its the right age for your child. I don't think giving it to a child under 3 would be wise if they are still testing the taste and consistincy of objects. and a 16 year old might think its lame. but if you want a concrete answer, maybe 6 to 12

I think there is not age limit. And is ideal for 8 to 11 years old children.

Depends on the kid and his interest in geology. I don't care for how the rocks are identified (sticky numbers on each) as the numbers could come off or be mixed up. They have to reference the number to the handbook, which I felt was a little over the comprehension of a 10 year old.

You could get it for an eleven year old, I don't see why not. It is, however, more designed for an older crowd and collectors.

I believe this is more appropriate for younger children. I bought it for my 2 & 5 year olds last year. They loved it, but the now-6 year old only has slight interest in it by now. Also, the average 8 year old might find the size a little small (but most kitchenettes I've seen in the stores are all about this size and age level).

My grandson just turned three, and he loved it! But the older kids at his birthday party were having fun with it, too. Heck, I was having fun playing with it. I really think three to eight would be the optimal ages for this.

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

I have a 9 year old nephew and got another one for him. I think it would be appropriate for an 8 year old. May not last forever but with a few spare parts its probably a good choice.

Though the intended audience is likely collectors and older fans I think it would be a great gift for an 11 year old. It's sturdy and incredibly poseable. Though the joints will dislocate if over extended since they are just ball and socket joints they can just be pushed back into place so it would be a tough toy to actually break. Hope this helps.

When child can carry on at least a limited conversation... Age doesn't matter, 4-14 and adults who like cool toys :)

I'm not sure. I had this sent directly to my grand kids. They can all use it - ages 7-11. P.s. They love it.

I purchased two of these for Christmas; for a 5 and a 6 year old. Everyone including the parents enjoyed building with them. Our 8 year old grandson really enjoyed them! He is our oldest but I think it would work for an 11 year old just fine.

I purchased this for my 4 year old daughter and she is enjoying it..along with my 10 year old daughter! The remote part is definitely more geared to a young child.. It is cute for an older child.. My only concern would be that your 11 year old would get bored with it quickly because of the simplicity of it. That said, my 10 year has been playing with it along with the 4 yr old and they both love it. I'm not sure I really helped you make the decision.. But at least you know an older child will enjoy it even though it is geared toward a younger child. Have a good day!

My 16-25 year old nieces and nephews had fun playing over Christmas. I would think an 11 year old would have fun too.

The box says it is recommended for ages 8+. I think they recommend it for this age because they need a bit more hand coordination. This set is better made than some others we have had in the past too. My daughter is 8 and absolutely loves this set. It allows for a lot of creativity.

My grandson was 8 years of age when I bought it for him. He really liked it but would depend on the child I would think.

I'm not sure for an 11 year old. I bought them for my 9 year old granddaughter who specifically asked for them for her birthday. I also am sending to my 7 year old granddaughter. If the 11 year old is into the hair things I would say yes, but if she's not, then I would think something else. The 9 year old granddaughter has a 12 year old sister, who is not into the hair things and she wanted a American girl doll for her birthday, so that's what I got her. Hope this helps.
