I purchased this for my daughter, who is five years old. We're about to go on a trip to Europe, so I needed some new toys to keep her entertained. She was skeptical when she first saw it, but after testing it, she really enjoyed it. She enjoyed it so much that I let her play with it before she goes to bed. It helps her relax.After much research, I chose this toy above cheaper alternatives. I'm pleased I did. I would strongly recommend this as a figet toy for anyone above the age of three. I've allowed my 18-month-old play with it under supervision, and he like pulling the strings.
