I bought this for my daughter and I to do together. She is five and a little young for some parts but we have had a great time making cute puppies. My only suggestion would be to buy a lot of extra super glue because the one that comes with it doesn't hold and you'll probably need extra yarn. One of my kits was missing eyes, noses and tongues but after a call to the manufacturer they sent me two entire replacements so I can't complain about that.
