could a four year old play this

My four year old now five year old could play with this and has had lots of fun. He has had a couple of neighbor kids over and some seemed to struggle with holding it while reloading. Other kids had no issues at all. My 3 yo. struggles with the reload concept so just runs around pulling the trigger (it makes a sound until it runs out of shots.) My 2 yr. old cannot do it at all but has discovered that the guns are sort of heavy and are good things to bash her brothers with (by good, I mean likely to get the desired whining reaction.) Dad and the 4/5 yr. old have had tons of fun playing against eachother. It is not an every day toy at this point but it makes an appearance about 2-3 times a month for a couple of hours at a time. So, all and all, this is a great little toy. Batteries seem to last for ages and they have been dropped, whacked, etc. and they keep on going. I would purchase them again. If your 4 y.o. is small or not dexterous, you might wait a year just because of the weight and need to press the buttons to shoot and reload.

Nerf Lazer Tag guns are far easier for my 5 year old to use than the Nerf dart guns for playing with his brothers and the neighbors. My oldest (10) helps with the settings before they start running around. This lazer gun gives you the option to select the number of hearts you have (thus making the little one gets an easier setting and the oldest plays with the hardest setting). The toy is small enough to run around with and not be cumbersome for any age.

If they are able to tell when they need to reload, they should be fine. Other than that the only skill required is point and shoot.

I play this game with my 4 year old grandson and he loves it. I think 2nd grade and 4th grade will be just fine. Don't forget, they kind of make up their own rules as they go along anyway. I think it will be a great gift for that age. They will love it.

Yes! My daughter is only 2 and just loves it. She uses her little Minnie Mouse step stool to reach everything. It would be perfect for a 4 year old.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

Yes. I bought it for my 4 year old grandson and he loves it. He and his cousin sit at it and play all the time

Requires a bit of strategy but I think a five year old could start playing it. Gave it to my daughter for her 8th birthday, she loves it as does the rest of the family.

Yes. My son was just a little over 2 when he got his. Now some games are challenging for him and requires help from a parent or his 5yr old brother; but for the most part he learned how to use it very quickly on his own!

Yes definitely, it is an amazing and fun toy to have. My niece was 4 when I bought it for her. She loved and she is still playing with it! Great toy!

As long as the child can read and/or understand how to subtract, I don't think it would be difficult. Plus it comes with play but play instructions.

My granddaughter are 4 & 7 and they both enjoy playing the game although the 4 year old doesn't get the whole idea of the rules yet.

5 year old these days I would say yes. My kid is 10 now but at 5 she had a DS and was playing games like this so depends on the child I think.

I would say no, this is very complicated, the original (purple and yellow) would be much more a 7 yr olds level and more fun.

I had a four year old and a six year old play with it at my house. The 4 year old could not do it. The 6 year old made mistakes but was able to make the designs and have fun. With a little practice he would have been fine. So the first few times, parent will need to direct and assist, but then it will be enjoyed.

Maybe not. I got it for my 8 year old grandson and he enjoys it but doesn't play as much as he did. The games are pretty simple.

I would recommend this for 4 years old and up if playing it on the road. At home, as long as your child can talk, it should be fine

It would depend on the child. The setup is rather challenging for a young child. I play with my 9 year old grandson, but haven't tried with his 6 year old sister.

Yes, probably. My 4 year old grandson was able to put most of it together himself when he was 3. However, he loves it and still plays with it. It goes with the other City sets. You can look for "Lego City" and see if you can find a set that says 5-12 or 6+. Those are more challenging. There are many to choose from and many prices to choose from.
