I'm thinking on this for my 7 & 9 year old grandsons, do I need anything extra?

No, everything that you need is contained in the box. However, they may need a bit of help given their ages...you may want to start off with Snap Circuits Junior if possible, just a suggestion.

My two oldest kids figured this out around 2 years old, so yes, 5 and 7 year olds should be able to use these. They're on the big side, though, so you may want to check out the kids' version, which my kids (ages 2-4) have and love.

Yes I think 6 would be a little too young but maybe by 9 would be fine. My grandson was 10 years old wen I gave him this for a gift and by then he could do it most of it after some guidance This grandson is a little "tech" type of kid that likes to fiddle with these kind of things, which may make a difference since some kids wouldn't have the interest or desire.

I watched my grandsons play and this was never a problem. I will email your question to them and see what they say!

We purchased this for our 9 year old grandson. For a 5 year old I would suggest adult supervision.

Hi! Yes everything that you will need is included. You don't have to buy anything extra.

No, you need a LeapFrog Explorer (1 or 2) or any of the LeapPads. I'd get the Ultra if I was buying something new.

My grandsons are 9 and 7. They are above average on learning skills and they seem to have some problems with assembly. In some details, it leaves you a little vague with instructions. I would say a good age would be 10 and up.

Not at all. My 9 and 11 year old children put it together last Christmas! :)And we received all the necessary parts. The kids love it, and whenever they have friends over they all still gravitate to it.

It is good for a nine year old. My son was eight when he got his. Don't expect too much out of it, and you'll both be happy.

We didn't buy anything extra. My daughter was not quite 3 when purchased. She has played with it a lot. Has a family and plenty of furniture for at least up to a 5/6 year old.

Maybe but older would probably be better. I purchased for my five year old grandson and he could work it but his eight year old brother really liked it!

Yes every penny! My grandkids play with these all the time . Just make sure they keep all the parts in a zip lock bag. They can get lost easy.

I bought one of these for my 9 yr. old grandson. He and his 12 yr. old sister picked it up right away.

We use it with our 7 and 9 year old grandsons and really enjoy it. Feel that the quality is quite good.
