This was a fantastic little kit. I gave it to my nephew for his recent 4th Birthday, and despite falling 2 years under the agerecommendation (6-9 years) he was able to follow the instructions and make a "passable" dino creation (with a pinch of supervision here and there). As a massive Dino fan, he was over the moon and was very excited to make it right away.Now, for the parents considering this product, one of the best elements is the lack of "junk" left over. You probably have homes that are brimming with abandoned toys, but this item is different. When your kid is finished, you're left with a useful stationary item that they can keep in their room!A great, "largely" mess free, and creative gift idea!
