Back when he was a baby and toddler and preschoolers, I thought all the milestone books were written for the very, very lowest performing child since he was years ahead by the time he was two. I thought the ages listed on toys, especially games and legos were disregarded by everyone because they were so off....
See I always thought there were three parts to the age range. Part one...are the pieces choking/swallowing hazards and are my kids especially prone to putting stuff in their mouth? Part two...can they physically manipulate the parts/pieces or get it spatially? Part three can they understand the game/toy intellectually? (and then on the other end of the spectrum have they outgrown it or is it too juvenile for their taste no matter what the age range says).
I found I started with the age guideline and then either threw it out or found it right on depending on the toy and the child.
