My 5 and 9 year old girls loved this and had several fun afternoons making the pictures (by rubbing on the coloured foil onto set templates). It is therefore relatively straight forward to use, and required little supervision (mainly to deal with sharing issues!!). The 5 year old could therefore enjoy it herself. The 9 year old was able to put together fairly sophisticated patterns, and while she sometimes struggled with how she effectively used all the space on the individual sheets, this craft also proved very enjoyable.
