Sorry about the ridiculous title!
My ds is 4.9 and mil has told us that she has bought him a dinosaur game that says it is for 8y olds. She says she knows that he will love it but gave no more details than that and dh didn't ask for any.
I was wondering if anyone has a dinosaur gane that specifies 8 yr olds and, if so, whether they could describe it briefly so I can work out whether ds will be able to do it.
I am a bit worried because mil is rather, ahem, intense and she is coming on the big day and will really want him to play with it. I can forsee awkwardness if it is beyond him and he gets upset over not being able to do it or something.
I don't really know if it makes sense to ask about the difference between older kids' toys and younger ones but I know with the three yr old limit it tends to be about small parts and both my dc have had '3yo' toys much younger (under supervision, of course ) but I'm guessing that the typical 4 yo, which ds is, will find a toy for a typical 8 yo pretty much inaccessible. Or not - I don't actually know any 8 yos!
Sorry to waffle on but mil will make a huge palava over her gift (it will be the only one she gets him) and I would like to be prepared if it is likely to be a disaster!

Does anyone know of a dinosaur game for an 8yr old and can you tell me what the difference tends to be between toys for 8yr olds and 4 yr olds?
