I got these for my oldest when he was about 5 years old. He wouldn't chew them, since the fish oil flavor was too strong, despite the added strawberry flavor in them. But they are small enough that I was able to teach him to swallow them just fine. My youngest started taking them when he was around 2 years old and he just chews them. He has never complained about the flavor. I feel these are a great way to give kids a fish oil supplement.
