what age is appropriate
1779658
whatever age the child doesn't constantly put these (or objects) in his or her mouth... so just depends when child is out of that phase. My daughter- 2 1/2- loves to play with these, my 5 year old son likes to play with these. There are imaginex toys of Spongebob that are of similar size to these... so these easily go with those playsets- like the submarine bus... these toys go well with that. The nice part is that you have practically the whole cast when purchasing this set... can't say that for the other choices out there:)

I would say any age, there are no small parts and the figures aren't small enough to swallow

I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter, and she did fine with them. I am not sure what "listed" age was, but if the child is out of the "put everything in your mouth" stage (8 months -2 years) you should be okay...we didn't use ours as cake toppers, they were just toys she played with while watching the show; she kept them in her purse ;-).

Any age above 3 years really: so long as the person watches and enjoys the cartoon. I and my kids all enjoy the cartoon. These figures are ideally for cake decoration.

Christmas present? I use it in therapy (I am a speech pathologist) with kids as young as 3, but I think you could use it with 2 year olds. 18 months might be a bit young as they may just want to put it in their mouths. It depends on the kid though. If you think the kid is really sharp then try it. If the child will be monitored while they play (you faciltate it) they may have fun with it, but 18 month olds don't really get the concept of toppings yet. So to sum up, I would wait until they are a bit older. Up to you.

My personal feeling for safety is 2 under age 5-6 unless they are bigger. I'm sure as many as three could fit but i tend to err on the side go safety.

I would say 3 and up but depending on the 2-year old they could probably have fun with it too. I know 18-month old kids that would probably do something with them! And maybe up to 8 or 10. There again, it depends on the child.

No certain age. Instead, it is all about weight and height. As long as the child is within those ranges, she should be protected

Eight would be perfect, and I'd say up to twelve. The only limitation is not really age, but whether or not the person still enjoys to pretend. Being able to actively use one's imagination is the only requirement.

My daughter was 3 when I got it for her, maybe a little to big at the time. Id say 4-7 years old would be perfect.

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.

Hi, I really can't remember the recommended age but I bought for my son for his 4th birthday.He loves it. I would between 3-7.

It would depend on the child. I would think for sure until 6. It's a good size. Just depends on the child's interests.

The box states ages 2-5 and I believe that is appropriate. I got this for my almost 2 year old grandson but his big sister, 4 1/2, also likes to play with them.

It depends on the level of interest/reading of a child, but I would say 12 years and up should be able to participate well.

I would say ages 3 or 4 and up. I've seen videos online of kids ages 10-12 playing it.

My grandson just turned three, and he loved it! But the older kids at his birthday party were having fun with it, too. Heck, I was having fun playing with it. I really think three to eight would be the optimal ages for this.

I think it depends on the child. Our daughter was 6 when we got hers, but I'm sure she would have been fine earlier. I agree with the other response, not sure I'd go much below 4 years.

I think it just depends on how long the child wants to play with it. We have 4 and 5 year old's that come over and play with it more than my 3 year old. But scale wise, in my opinion, it is perfect for 3-4 year old's.

Yes, ages 5-10 seems correct. Some reviewers mentioned letting three-year-old play. That's too young due to threat of choking if they put it in their mouth. Even kids who don't eat things anymore may still experiment with putting it in their mouth and accidentally swallow it. Why take a chance?
