My daughter received this item as a present for her 3rd birthday and LOVES it. She sits and plays with it for hours. She has never been allowed to use scissors before and the scissors that were included are safe and durable. She has now learned how to cut paper and is so proud. She practices cutting most of all but also loves the paints. I would recommend this item for any three or four year old.

I bought this for my 4 year old niece and she likes it a lot. The price was right when I bought it (about half price). It is very big and has a lot of pages of blank paper and paper with barbie scenes to be painted and/or colored. There were even pages with barbie pics that could be colored and cut into paper dolls. I gave this four stars intead of five because the scissors were very cheap and because I don't think this would be very entertaining for the age range listed. I wouldn't purchase this for any child over 6.
