was it good for 8 yr. olds/

I used it with my 6 and 10 year old sons. I'd say it was pretty doable for the 10 year old, but I was doing all the gluing for the 6 year old. It's a fun craft with lots of possibilities but it comes down to being patient and steady to hold it in place, glue, and then let it dry. Seems to me like that's a skill that takes practice but I believe an 8 year old could do it and would enjoy this. Hope that helps.

I bought it for an 8yr old but at the last minute decided to hold on to it for another year - there were so many pieces and thought my 8 year old might be too overwhelmed. Depends on your kid and their organization skills. Will give it as a gift this year.

I don't think so - I bought it for my 7 year old, now turning 8 and she still likes it very much.

Yes. It is good for child of 4 years old. Just be carefull that do not take to his mouth.

Yes my 8 year old got this for his 8yr B-day and he had it completed and playing with it by the end of the weekend.

Yes. Says various facts. I believe there are also games they can play. My 8-year-old loves it.

I think it would be fine for a typical 8 year old, as long as some presets are made with the lenses. Some of the controls are quite delicate, so training would be required.

Yes its excellent for an 8 year old. I bought it for my daughter and although she was 11 she was also a beginner. Her band teacher said it was perfect. So yes its good for an 8 year old.

We did not make it that far. My 8 yr. old son enjoyed flying it about 3 times. Crashed and broke into pieces. He did enjoy it while it lasted.

It is geared toward younger kids, the games would be too easy for an 8 year old. I think all of them max out at 8 for the age range, (many are 4-6 year old, and some are 5-8). The game system would probably interest them for a few hours or days max.

It would be perfect for an 8 year old. Four is about as young as I would start if you wanted the child to work it herself. The adults hve enjoyed it also. I would buy this again and it has held up really well. Hope this helps.

I would say it is good for 2/3-8 year olds. My girls are 2 and 4 and love it.

Yes, it does work well. It was my 8-year-old son birthday present some years ago. He did not use it too much, though.

We got it for a 3 yr old. It worked good for him. So unless you have a short 8yr ok I would say yes it's too short.

Well. I would not recommend this for a 7 year old. I would recommend it for a 8 or 9 year old.\

Yes, sort of. He may not know what some of the items are, but with kind players, it could be explained or the 8 yr old could draw something else on the list that he did know. Sometimes my 9 yr old is in the same situation and we just roll with it. He loves the game.

It sort of depends on the modelling talent of the 8 year old. If he/she is a typical one, I would say no unless you help by doing all the work. This model requires advanced modeling skills and I suspect would be a huge challenge for an 8 year old. Of course, you could buy it and stash it for 5 or 6 years. In the interim, look for a less complex model. There are several available so best to check a couple of stores (on-line or face to face). Good luck.Clyde
