We got this to entertain the kids while pappy cooks. They are 7 and 15 months. The grill is a little too small for the 7 year old, but she is having fun helping her baby sister "cook". The 15 month old plays with the grill for HOURS - well worth the price of the grill to keep her occupied for a while. She loves opening the lid and putting all of the stuff onto the grill.
