Is 71/2 too old for Zoobs? Our grandson loves Lego kits and we'd like to try something else--anything else!

Whenever our 10.5 yr old son gets his Lego privileges taken away, the first thing he reaches for is his giant bin of Zoobs!

If it helps my nine yr old still plays with these from time to time, I would order the kit that has the glow in the dark parts and the light up parts or the car designer

My grandson is 8 and still likes his. I think you'd be safe to get them for him.

depends on the kid but if he likes building, these are different and neat, and like lego you can keep adding on

7 and 1/2 is not too old. My kids are older and love them. I am in my 30s and enjoy them.

I do not think so. My grandchildren loved them always making new things with them. They are age 9 and 7.

I think that Duplo Legos would be better for a child that young. These are better for older children. There are some tiny parts. My grandson started off with Duplos and loved them, and when he was about six or seven he preferred the Legos. (But he will still play with the Duplos, too.)

It's hard to say -- my grandson is 10 and does Legos all the time. He's been playing with them for several years. However, this set is the "micro" size and the pieces are pretty small. I'd say if he is proficient with Legos he might be able to use this.

Nope, my 8yr has built a set (7 at the time with a littile help) and his older brother (12 at the time) can build it on his won. Just lots of 1x1 squares and other smaller bricks. This was on the Orgional set. This will most likely be under the tree this year for them.

The product is for 5 and up. I think 3 may be a little too young -- depending on the child I think. These are a different material than legos. And are definitely more "delicate". Hope that helps!

I think it will be too easy for him. The suggested age is 8-12. How about try some searches from amazon Toys & Games by age "14 & up" and also your preferred brand.

I purchased two of these for Christmas; for a 5 and a 6 year old. Everyone including the parents enjoyed building with them. Our 8 year old grandson really enjoyed them! He is our oldest but I think it would work for an 11 year old just fine.

Some Lego kits are primarily for putting together and not doing a lot of hard playing with. My son has not messed around a lot with this Lego Castle since building it, but he had a great time building it, and it decorates a portion of his room even now. We have bought a few Lego kits that we primarily wanted for looking at like the Fire Truck and the Space Shuttle. They are neat Lego kits, but especially some parts of the Shuttle could get messed up really easily if played with. My son also has a box with hundreds of Lego bricks that he does use for playing, building, breaking down and rebuilding again.

Fine for a seven year old ...he might need a little help, I helped my son put it together but he did most of it...but its probably my sons favourite lego set, he's seven as well

Probably not. That is by far the most advanced set in the Lego friends lineup. My daughter is 7 and was able to put it together. I would start off with the Pet Show set, that is much easier.

There isn't 2 of everything but they could both build cars and small houses without a problem. If they like to build the same things I'd get 2 sets. My boys build great together with this set. The argument we have is over who gets to be Lego guys. We bought a set of people and still have a few spats.

Welcome back to LEGO - that makes you an AFoL (Adult Fan of LEGO)! Yes you will like it - DON'T pay more than $199.99 - it's a current set available from LEGO direct. Amazon may get it back in - but at the moment the sharks (market place sellers) have it over priced!!

We actually bought it for our two year old grandson. Yes, I think your child would enjoy it now and as he grows older. Enjoy watching him learn important tool safety, building even a little item, and the feeling of accomplishment!

It is a really cool set, but it is somewhat advanced to build. If your five year old is an experienced Lego builder, then it should be fine.

These Legos are very tiny, not the standard size. They may fit, however I was disappointed in the size..... Not for children under 8 yrs old. Hope this helps!!

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.

It's not as easy to assemble as LEGO. Probably 8 or 10 years old at least. Requires a screwdriver. Consider the child you have in mind and how good they are with mechanical things. Some kids might like the challenge and that it feels more grown-up - not so much of a toy for kids.
