emily , my opinion is 7 or 8 year old is in need of a more mature wooden desk , this step 2 desk is ideal for my 2 year old grandaughter, she loves working with her coloring book and crayons and 1 2 3 and the abc blocks,,, i would say the step 2 desk i have is for a child to the age of 5,i'm sure amazon can help you choose the correct desk for a 8 year old,the 8 year old's are using larger desk in school today,,,,i hope i did help,,,,,

Yes, my 7 year old grandson really enjoys it as well as my 4 year old granddaughter.

I bought this for my 2 year old grand daughter who is now 4 and still using the desk. Her brother is almost 9 and he's too big for the desk. Even if the child is small in stature, he or she would only get a few years out of the desk. You might want to invest in a larger desk for a 7 or 8 year old.

My 10 yr. old grandson still uses it to do his homework and drawings. I got him a larger chair at Walmart as the chair fits up to 5-6 yr. depending on the child's size. This is so well made I can see it lasting YEARS as I have 2 new grand babies that will get to use it. It' s very sturdy. Wish I had bought it earlier when my children were small! It is defiantly worth the investment. My friend had one of these 25 yr. ago for her son so the Step2 products have been around a while.

Well, my daughter who is 5' tall can sit in the chair and her legs just fit underneath it. She's 35! Her son is 6 and it works fine for him.

I think art is fun at any age and the older they get the more sophisticated you can make the art supplies. I don't know what to say about the size... my four year old is a big kid and he fits on the stool comfortably. But I also know that my 27 year old daughter sat down cross legged in front of it and was doing art work on there too and having fun with it, so I would say yes... it should be good for 7-8 year olds if they like art, paint, stickers... etc.

A 10 year old would like it, but I don't think it would hold her interest for every long. I purchased one for my 7 year old and she quickly got bored with it.

Its fine for a 7 year old. Learning curve to drive might take a bit, but its not super fast, and it seems fairly durable. Its good at going over stuff and the kids had fun creating little obstacle courses for it. Its as big as a loaf of bread. Hope that helps.

My grandson is 7 and is perfect for him, but he is not a big kid, I will say 6 to 8 years old

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.

The box says ages 4 to 99. It depends on what a kid is into, I think it's be great for an eight year old.

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

As long as the 7 year old can read at a basic level, they will enjoy it a lot! Reading is required though to really make the game work.

I bought it for a 6 year old. Her mom had just started University courses and was on the computer a lot, so I thought this might be fun for her "to work" with mommy. Since real computers have now entered many classrooms, I'd say for kids no older than 7 or 8 years old.

My son is 11 and I am 36 and we have a blast with them. I'm not sure if I would recommend them for anyone under 8 or so though.

I would recommend to go for regular one for age 8. I bought both for my boys now turn 7 last year. Regular presents more challenge for them particularly in the higher level. So they are on the right level on Advance of Jr. and lower level of regular version.

Depends on your child, but my 7 1/2 year old boys don't play with them much anymore. You may want to consider something larger/more detailed for this age.

I bought this for my son last year, age 10. I would recommend it for ages 8-13.

I would not recommend it for under 7 years old. Lots of small pieces and can be intricate to assemble.

Hi, perhaps below 5 would be good. For big kids, maybe good is good to try the Ultra version.

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.

I'd say 8+. Maybe 10+. Kids younger than 8 will have problems. Adults will enjoy as well.
