We bought this game for our 1.5 year old daughter, to promote their fine motor skills. For them it is not trivial to get the wooden pin through the holes, but practice makes perfect. Se can deal with it alone, or even with the bigger brother (4.5) as there is no complicated "rules". The processing of the product is good, only the thread now and then slipping off the wooden pencil. The animal figures are a matter of taste, but I find them sweet and recognizable.
