When I saw this toy set I didn't know if it would be too old, too young, or just right for her age. I wasn't sure she would have any interest, and so I gave it right to her instead of making her wait until her birthday. Well, she was so excited she rushed through her homework (she's five), and played with the sand toys for four hours. Her Mom and I sat next to her and played with her for about another hour. Kinetic sand is so cool and nice to touch and gently mold. This toy is an A++ and perfect for people of every age, including adults!!!
