As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 4 years of age.

Identified Special Needs Challenges:
Down Syndrome
"It is hard to find age appropriate toys for a 10 year old at times and this is a great option. Very adaptable into what you need by making straws smaller or as is. Also color recognition and matching skills. My son also can copy our designs or make his own. Easy to build in communication activities also."

"I am going to use the straw and connectors for my classroom which has children with special needs. Currently my own children are having too much fun. I wish they could have a similar, bigger set so the pieces wouldn't be a choking hazard. "

The toy is a fun concept, and at a GREAT PRICE for as much as you get. My almost 8 year old, and his almost 10 year old friend kind of looked at it, and messed around with it until my husband went downstairs with them, and helped them build the rocket ship on the box, then they thought It was pretty neat. I'm going to wait a few weeks, and then pull it out again to see if they have understood how it all works together, and see what happens. I know if I wait a little longer 'til my son is a little older he will love it!
