(Note- we use a Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet, we were not able to use the app on the kid profile we set up, it needed to enable location service and the kid mode did not allow that, so we run it in the adult profile and I just turned on the parental controls)
My 6 year old is able to build all of the projects and control them with minimal adult assistance. I thought he would need more assistance given that he is below the recommended age, but he able to build 98% of it without me and mostly just needs help finding pieces or taking the little ones apart. He did manage to break a piece, but now he knows to be more careful with the long connector pieces.
We keep all the Boost pieces separate from our other LEGO in a plastic case with dividers that I used to use for jewelry. It is like 11x15x3 and all the pieces fit nicely inside!
Now he is saving his money up for the Ninjago Stormbringer (70652) and LEGO City Arctic Scout Truck (60194) kits that have additional instructions within the Boost app to connect and control them! I'm sure there are lots of ways to incorporate other sets and pieces to build cool stuff as well.
Top reviews from other countries
• When you get the 'bouncing warning triangle' displayed as it's trying to connect hold down the green 'connect' button on the lego FOR 10 SECONDS.
• The light on the Lego will begin cycling through a number of colours and you'll be prompted to 'Updated Firmware' which you should accept.
• After a few minutes you'll be taken to a new blank screen where the app attempts to connect. When the 'Boost' box goes green (connected) close the page with the 'X' (top right)
• Now you should be able to follow the rest of the app's guidance in building and programming without problems.
Have fun!
