Taking 2yr &amp; 4yr olds to first baseball game; appropriate entertainment? Easy enough to use?

I suspect they're a bit young to get much actual use out of them. The binos seem very durable though, so they could grow into them. They are about as easy to use as any adjustable binoculars I've seen.

I think it's appropriate for ages 3 and up. Even as an adult, I enjoy playing it with my kids. It will not be a huge challenge for older kids, but they will still have fun looking for all the objects. And they either win as a team or lose as a team, so it's a good game to play together.

Not at all. My grandchildren ages 2 - 7 have all enjoyed it. Just make sure that your "people" fit in properly and easily. We have a mix of them so everyone fits except the Dad.

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults! I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game.

It's great for a 6yr old. I have one, used, I just posted on Craig's list for $15. Lots of fun, to play the kids actually have to run to make the plays. It plays one or two players.

I use it for my son. He's 6 now. Purchased it as he graduated from tball to little league. So that was when he was 4. And will continue to use.. buying a back net proved to be the best partner with the pitcher.

I would suggest the 4 footer. I also like to use corner flags or a coaching stick for goals so that the kids do not goal guard. If you get these make a retaining arc with discs infront of goals so kids will not stand there and play GK. hope this helps.

Most definitely! I got one for my one year old and one for my 2.5 year old. The one year old has figured out how to watch the little movies and whatnot but the two year old actually plays the games and creates movies. In my opinion it is very user friendly! Children and their technology just amaze me these days.

Hi!It depends on the kids. But i fear that it might involve too many parameters for the younger kid.You can try with smallworld (competitive) or pandemic (cooperative). Simpler but exellent games both.I hope it helps.Good luck!

There are a wide variety of questions -- some would be easy enough for a 6 year old (like, name 3 items in a locker) but some would not (3 professional hockey players or South American countries). I wouldn't play it with a group of 6 year olds but it would work as a family game.

This is a pretty simple game. But certain strategies a more experienced player could use may merit the game less fun. A young (8+) player could definitely play.

I think so - there is enough little things about it that the 2-3 year old would stay interested in it. I would say about three it would be time to invest in a different one. The product is so durable though it would hold up for more kids wanting to play with. I do not think you would regret it!

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

I don'y know that a portable baseball hoop will work depending on how old your child is. If they are young and won't be hitting it hard it might. An older shild will hit it too hard for that. We had to sink a fence pole into the ground to keep it from moving all around. My son really benefited from it though! Good luck!

There are so many games! I know bowling is one, but it is hard to score well on that one. Baseball is a big hit and easy to win on. There is a Star Wars battle game. Another game has to do with pets and the girls like that a lot. There is a race car game and many other games, too. The search buttons are very easy to work and allow you to see the games offered. I ordered 3 of these for the grandchildren before Christmas and they are still carrying these along with them everywhere and in the car too. A normal day's use runs through the 3 batteries, so oftentimes, the kids play with the adaptor cord plugged into the wall (the adaptor comes with it). The kids learn pretty quickly to turn the on/off button to off position when not in use. Even the 3 year old does this on her own! I would readily buy this again, since it does not involve downloading or any expensive equipment. It's a big hit!

Hi, It's a very simple game but my nephew was 3 when he started to play it. A 2 year old might be a bit young, but might still enjoy watching as you play it with him/her.

Looked at this game in stores and at reviews online. It looks like it can be fun for youth up to adult. Kind of a combo of sports, and video game (sort of) along with actual movement required to get the activity level up. At least that is our hope. No more hands-on experience available though--ours is still in the box.
