Even though this was for my 8-year-old, other children from 4 years up to 12 years old would probably enjoy this project. The project may be too simplistic for young people older than 12 years old.
This isn't going to keep them occupied for hours and hours. Once you've completed the project, the actual drawing will keep children engaged for about 15-30 minutes before they lose interest. However, my children still enjoy pulling the robot out from time to time to do more doodling.
Overall, this is a worthwhile return on the investment considering I paid less than $20 and spent less than 30 minutes on the actual build. Here's a link to our YouTube video: [...]

He really likes this -- he calls it his "Artbot" and he is making custom stationery/art for the brothers in colors of their choosing.
Tip: When the markers wear out or a different color scheme is preferred, RoseArt thin markers fit better than Crayola thin markers. You may have to use a screwdriver to loosen the pen holders, then re-tighten on the markers.
To keep the robot on the paper, he used an old 9X12 pan, lined the bottom with the drawing paper, and switched on the robot inside the pan.
Very nice results.
It took him about 70 minutes to assemble it the first time, and he still likes it. (He's 10) He has used it for many hours, and the toy has withstood a couple of falls from countertops onto tile floors at the hands of the little brother.

You do need a small Phillips head to finish.
It does work as advertised, and makes concentric circle patterns that kids can use as a starting point for their own art.
