Would you get the Squigz Starter set or the Deluxe Squigz set for 4 and 7 year old boys to play with together (probably mostly in the bath tub)?

Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well. If the boys play together well, there would be opportunities for car races and other creative play, especially if you have other car toys and can combine activities. As a former preschool teacher, I like the older one mentoring the younger and encouraging joint play! They could make block tunnels and obstacles, etc. I have many of the Fisher Price items that have endured years of play from my grown kids and now are being reused for our five grandkids under three years of age. Enjoy these times as a family! Your one and a half year old would really enjoy it, and I think it would hold your four year old son's attention as well.

I think it is geared more towards smaller kids but I think 6/7 year olds will still enjoy them if they like music at all. Symbals rarely get old, tamborines are always fun. With the low price on the set I think it would be worth the risk.

I think a 7 year old could use the easy one. Each ball comes with two bands, the only difference being the size hole for te fingers. I think the smaller one would work well.

He's 3 going on 4? I think this might be too big for him, honestly. My daughter got this when she was just turning 7. Have him check a 3-wheel out at say, Walmart or Target first, and see how he does. If you think it's still too baby-ish, I would definitely go with the Razor, it's good, sturdy quality..

I would recommend to go for regular one for age 8. I bought both for my boys now turn 7 last year. Regular presents more challenge for them particularly in the higher level. So they are on the right level on Advance of Jr. and lower level of regular version.

Leapster is great. My kids loved the educational games. It lasted a couple of years. While they still play it, they are now ready for the DS. I'd go with the Leapster, and maybe go with some used games. I wouldn't invest too much because around 6-7 they want the newer big-kid games.

Depends on the kid. My newly turned 7 year son has played a good 5 times or so with me now and basically gets it, but still needs some help...he still loves it though. You can play it with them, but not expect them to play it with a group of kids - requires supervision and aid. Probably more 9-10.

My son has both the 100 piece set and the 48 piece DX set and they complement one another perfectly. The 48 piece set has some different pieces such as: a large square with a door built in, an arch way, two little rings, and a flat bed with 4 wheels to build up as a car, trailer or other creative ideas. I think it would be worth getting him the other set if he loves playing with them already as it will give him a little more variety.

There isn't 2 of everything but they could both build cars and small houses without a problem. If they like to build the same things I'd get 2 sets. My boys build great together with this set. The argument we have is over who gets to be Lego guys. We bought a set of people and still have a few spats.

Both of my sons love this set. My boys are ages 4 and 6 and both of them have no problem making 'towers' out of them.

This would be perfect for him. Our kids have had theirs for a year now and have used the heck out of them. This is a durable, great starter set for right and left handed kids. It's also fun to use an adult.

I would go with the DS. I had both the DS and Leapster for my son and he definitely played with the DS more. There are plenty of games for a four year old as well as for us adults. All in all the selection of games available for the DS is over 1000, so there's plenty to choose from.

Hard to say. My son is 7 and it is just right but my husband can play them and he is 6'. It is a good starter set though to see if child wants to play seriously enough to buy a larger set later.

The Leapster is a good substitute. Both of our boys had Leapsters first and my oldest son still played with his until he got his DS on his 9th birthday (granted, he was getting a little old for it...). I have a 3 year old and she's still a little young for the Leapster, but she can use the drawing feature and will mess around with it. Definitely by age 4.

I enjoy several of the Chima sets with my 4 yo boy. I build them and then we play together. He helps a little with the building but the real joy for him is to play storylines.

Hi there, I bought this set for my boys, who were 5 & 7 at the time of the purchase and they like it a lot. They had it in their day care center in Pre-K, where the kids are 4 & 5. I have a 4-year-old girl now who I do not see building anything with the set but plays with it once the brothers built something already, so I do not know what to answer for a 4 years old. Maybe yes for boys if he is able to focus and follow instructions in the booklet. I would recommend it more though for a 5-years-old boy. Hope this helps! Irina
