Would a eight year old like it

Mine did not, there are so many other better options out there for an 8 year old

NOOOOO. the graphics, the games - there is nothing worthwhile about this. It is a waste of money!

Yes it will accommodate an 8 year old. I have had kids from age 16 months to 9 year olds.

I agree that it's not the weight that will be an issue (my husband and I have both taken a ride). The height will be the issue but not a huge one. I definitely wouldn't but it for an eight year old, but if you're buying it for a younger child, the eight year old could enjoy it also.

Product Dimensions:Depends on how tall your child is. My 4year old Grandson is big for his age. The description states 3 to 15, I would say "not even close" If your 8 year old is small then yes.

8 might be a bit old unless she has expressed interest. It's pretty simple and low-tech so lends well to pretend play. I gave this to my 3 yr old granddaughter and she might be too young but she does a lot of pretend play with it when she does play with it.

I have a 9 year old nephew and got another one for him. I think it would be appropriate for an 8 year old. May not last forever but with a few spare parts its probably a good choice.

Yes I would, depending on how it will b used. You can add memory to it for book, picture music & movie files , so is better than a kindle for OFFLINE use. If it will b used for ONLINE use mostly, my daughter (23) said it runs slow. So if your 8 year old is an online gamer, might want to keep looking.

I think it would be fine for a typical 8 year old, as long as some presets are made with the lenses. Some of the controls are quite delicate, so training would be required.

Sorry i got it as a gift to my 3 year old nephew! Im sure its fine for a 6-8 year old.

Yes it's very very user friendly. An 8 year old would have no trouble. battery and charger is included.

Yes, sort of. He may not know what some of the items are, but with kind players, it could be explained or the 8 yr old could draw something else on the list that he did know. Sometimes my 9 yr old is in the same situation and we just roll with it. He loves the game.

If appropriate for a child of eight years since it has no bloody scenes or sex

My six year old loves it but needs a lot of help. I would think an eight year old that is able to focus and likes puzzles would like it. It increases in difficulty.

yes, to big for an 8 year old, but you could put rubber bands around the wrists to hold them on. Could be extra funny, depending on the games, would add a "makes the games harder and more Funny"!

Our son got his for his 10th birthday and he loves it. He said that an 8-year-old might just need a little explanation of the controls that are on it, but otherwise it would be fine. There are 50 different drum kits (drum sounds) programmed into this unit, so there's lots for them to experiment with. There are also demos that it will play for you in addition to those 50 sets.

Mybgranddaughternwas 3 when I gave it to here. She is 6 and her sister is now 3 and they still play with it. It is plain but well constructed. An 8yr old would probably have lots of fun decorating it.

I think it would be great for him. I got it primarily for my daughter who is 8 to take with her to her dad's house and to use as a learning tool for our home schooling.
