It is recommended for ages 8 and up. Is this too difficult for a 5 year old to use?

It's not difficult to use and is very stimulating, but childs under 8 years must be supervised, if allowed by their parents.

I don't know. Bought as a gift for my Gdaughter, but I did see my 6 year old nephew use one with some help from his mother to get it started.

for my 6 year old she had difficulty I showed her how to do it with her fingers

I used it at the summer daycare program that I worked at. The children ranged in age from-4-14. The little ones were able to do just a single bracelet with some help. A couple of them were able to do it on their own after a few times of being shown how and with some help.

In my opinion, the average child that age would only be able to use a few of the features. The manufacturer suggests ages 6 and up, but I would say it would be more worthwhile for even a slightly older child like 7. A 5-6 year old would surely enjoy it, just probably not use all of the features.

We bought one for our two year old grandson, and he was able to make it work. I would say it's for age 2-5

25 months to 5 years old. In my opinion, at the stages kids develop in todays world a 5 year old may be too advanced for this because of the making of it but it will still help them learn and they will still enjoy it. :)

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults!

yes this is safe for a 5 year old. If your five year old can ride a bike he should not have a problem with this scooter . This is a good fun toy. Not a great means of transportation. My son age 10 could not keep up on our bike rides.

My kids have played it and they are 5 and 7. My 5 year old picked the rules up pretty fairly quickly and my 7 year old figured it out right away. Both of them enjoyed it a lot. I imagine ages 4-10 would be a good range.

Possibly with adult supervision. It's small but still has weight to it so I'm not sure how effective a 5 year old would be with it. Then again, only you know how advanced your child is.

I agree with the poster below... It's a great toy for a five year old, but I believe an 8 year old will be bored after five minutes. It doesn't have a huge amout of features beyond the three voice options and four barbie songs. The Barbie microphone and amplifier would be better for an eight year old, though more expensive.

I think this is great for that age level!! I think the kids one is too complicated for that age level.

My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

The recommended age is 3+. I bought it for my 5 year old and she loved it from the start. My son didn't enjoy until he was 2.5. There are weight restrictions 100 pounds per user.

Depends on the kid but I think a 5 yr old should be ok specially if you spend a little bit of time upfront and played with her few times. This is a fun and educational game. She will enjoy it.

I got this for an 8 yr old girl who is very athletic. It was very appropriate for her, and it's not one of those junky toys. I'd say it's too much for a 5 year old...they aren't as coordinated at that age. I did see several other archery sets on Amazon that would probably work for a 5 yr old...much simpler and easier to use.

I bought it for my son who had just turned 5. He loved it, but it's a lot of slow work for a five year old, and I had to help put the pieces together. I'd say it's ideal for kids between 7 and 10.

I think it would be pretty frustrating for most 5 year olds. They could assist, of course, particularly if they have a long attention span and pretty good fine motor skills. A five year old might get a bigger thrill out of one of those giant floor puzzles, if you could find one with a picture he/she really liked.

Hi,My kids love it but they are 11 and 8. I use it too.It may be a little difficult for a five year old and may frustrate them. I would wait. Try the ez glider. I have that too and is super easy and fun.
