The Klutz: Lego Gadgets kit is designed for kids ages 8 and up to be able to play independently, and it does include small parts, so you’ll want to exercise caution with younger kids. The build steps are similar to those found in LEGO sets, but there is a lot more written explanation to read through, which may complicate the process for those used to the simple aspect of standard LEGO set instructions.
