This is not a toy for the under six year old group. However, a six to ten year old with an active imagination would enjoy it. The toy is also great for adults who appreciate inexpensive nick-nacks that can renew their imaginations.

This toy was junk. My 9 year old son was soo dissapointed. It is made out of real cheap, easily breakable plastic. It is supper small. He got it out of the box and pieces started breaking right away. I wouldn't have bought it even for $2 if I had been able to see it first.

My 4 year old (almost 5) loves this space shuttle set. The spacecraft have good details and are durable. He would like it a bit more if the aircraft were a bit larger; but on the other hand, the small size is nice because they fit easily into his pockets so it is easy for him to take them everywhere.
