Is it a good gift for a 5 year old boy?

yes, if he's interested in roller skates - in general skates are not a good gift if the child shows no interest. There is a lot of falling over, he has to find them fun and know its part of the fun. You must buy a proper helmet, knee, elbow, wrist pads to go with the skates if he hasn't got them.

Hmmm... Maybe? My son is now 5 and he likes to play with it still, but not often. I would say that it'll be fun for any child until they can master the directions and tools on their own. If your 5-year-old likes to put together Legos on his own, he could have some time left with this toy!

It might be good if he's in to smart phones or an iPad. Mine was for a 4 year old girl.

Absolutely - yes, I would give it to a 3.5 year old... the one I bought was for my 4 year old niece (on her birthday), but I would've had no problem giving it to her 6 months prior.

Definitely not! I bought it for my 3 year old for xmas last year. I say its good for ages 3-6. It is a nice set!

some of the experiments would be good for a 5 year old, but always with supervision. Some of the projects that might be more for the 7-9 age group; a 5 year old may not understand the concepts to be learned but he/she would probably enjoy it anyway.

We gave our grandson one for Christmas--he was 4 then. he loved it. He is now 5--and he still enjoys it.

I got it as gift for a 6 years boy and he was happy with it. It has some small parts but at that age it is safe for most of the kids. So you know your child better

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

I believe it will be just perfect for them, and they'll get quite a few years worth of play on it. My grandson is 5 , loves it!

Yes. Awesome gift. My four year old still plays with it. It also comes with some cars that are similar to Thomas and Brio.

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

Yes, the one I received is a durable material. It should be fine for a 5 year old :-)

Yes.I think it is way too big for a five-year-old. It is a big hit with my son whose average size and nine years old. But I suspect he'll be able to use the board for at least three years.

I think so. My son loved it last year and he was over 4 and a half. He still likes it now too.

Yes it is worth it. Its a great set for a 5 year old. He will love it. However, its very sensitive when playing with one or more kids because it is made of plastic. I recommend this hot wheel because most kids love playing it.
