I bought this for my son (aged 9) to do during the summer holidays. It was a fun and challenging project for him and he really enjoyed doing it. It took him a few hours and he was very pleased with the result. The instructions are basic, but he worked it all out by himself. Can't beat it for the price and there is no glue/painting involved, so no mess either! I don't think my 7 year old daughter would have managed it though, so would recommend for kids from 8+ Will definitely buy other kits from this range.
