J played with this on 30 May 2015 (6Y2M25D) for a good 45 mins. He liked it very much. We didn't finished it. He will continue another day. Beware, it can get messy. We put him in the washroom for this activity for ease of cleaning. We had to hose the floor with water after throwing away the newspapers.
This is a fun and educational toy that I highly recommend :-) You can find it in Amazon here:
