Is this set appropriate for an 8 year old boy? Reading the reviews makes me feel like it might be too toyish - or more appropriate for young boys or girls.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you... wanted to ask my daughter... I gave it to my Grandson for his Birthday.... she said it would be GREAT for an 8 year old... VERY sturdy....said she could use it herself !!! Very impressed with the quality !!!!! :)

I think it would definitely be good starter tools for young boys. I use it for small home improvements around the house. Hope this helps!

I got it for my son at age 7 and he still uses it and he will be 9 this month. I think it's a great starter kit for kids to use for a few years before they get into double digits! I even have used some of the tools myself. Hope this helps.

I think it would be great for an 8 y.o. boy. These are definitely not toys. They are real tools. I (the mom) actually use them when I need a tool. They are very functional and a great size for kids.

My son was 7, now 8, and loves them. The hive does have alot of small parts. So judge wisely with your child. We have had no issues at all with the toys.

When I bought it my daughter was 3, she loved it. She loves building things though, so if your grandchildren enjoy that then it should be fun for both ages. I bought another set for 2 6 yr old boys and they love it. I think it's a fun all family game. But I believe the package recommended age is 8

I think it's a great ideas for boys that age. Especially if play time is indoors. I would buy the large sets though. Like with the helicopter attachments etc. And be sure to order enough because it takes many peices to build certain structures. This could lead to fighting if there aren't enough peices for individual projects. For example if one wants to build a castle and the other a helicopter. More is better in this case from my experience.

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

The manufacturer recommends ages 3-8, however a previous reviewer said 4-10 in her estimation. I think it mostly depends on your kids' size and skill level. If they are over 8 but relatively small for their age, this set should work great. On the other hand if they are a tall/big kid for their age or they've grown in skill level and need a bigger kit, go for a different set.

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

are u asking if this is for a 10 year old boy?? My son loves these and he is 4, my niece also loves these and shes 8. I think if u have 45-60 pieces this is a great gift for young children.

We bought this for our four year old and he loves it. I think your 8 year old would like since he likes the movie and and especially if he also likes romote control cars. I know my husband and I enjoy playing with it. I notice that the other answers say that he is too old for this but I stand by my answer that he would like it , but then again all children are different and depends on what he is into.

Hi,THese are really good earphones, especially for the price. Although I would say they are very sturdy, as I have been using them daily at the gym for quite a while now, I don't think I would necessarily recommend them for an 8 year old. I handle them with care and they really aren't made for kids. I also think they are quite loud and I wouldn't want a noise reducing set on a child, as that could prove dangerous as well as damaging to their ears if they aren't careful.

They have these at my 8-year-old son's school. Although they may be aimed for younger kids, he likes playing with them so much he asked for a set for Christmas! I like playing with them too.

I would personally recommend multiple sets. My three will sometimes play nicely together with them but with the size of them there really not an easy way for more than 3 kids to even watch the play easily. Most of the games are a little complicated for a 2 year old but I think they are easily for 4-adult. I love some of the games!!

I would say it's appropriate for kids age 3 to 6. It's a good quality set. I bought it for my son when he was 6. He's 7 1/2 now and his drum instructor says he needs to move up to a larger set. Hope this helps.

Might be a little small for 8 year old. Mine grandsons are 2 and 4 and it is just right for them.

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.

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 bought it for my boy. The toys are all different colors, it doesn't look like a girl set.
