How suitable is Kirby's Epic Yarn for a child?

Have never really bought a video game for a child before, but my nephew turned 6 this year and has started to take a liking to them.  Don't have a Wii myself so don't know much about the game but after that quick look recently I thought it might be a good option.  He's apparently played Super Mario Galaxy (Not sure which one) as well as some of the mini-game collections like Wii Sports fine enough to enjoy them.  How does Kirby's compare to these in terms of difficulty?  Is there much frustration or failure?
If Kirby would not be suitable, could anyone suggest some others?

How about the Raving Rabbids games? 

I played Kirby's Epic Yarn with my four year-old niece and she absolutely loved it. She's still pretty young so she doesn't really get some of the control concepts but to her it was like watching a cartoon. I highly recommend playing it with them.

I think if he can get Super Mario Galaxy, then he should be fine gameplay-wise with Kirby. and plus who doesn't love kirby.

Don't underestimate the gaming skill of young children. My little brother just turned six and could probably beat New Super Mario Bros. (if he owned it). Kirby's Epic Yarn would make a great game for your nephew (or yourself if you ever get a Wii.)

You'll be happy to know that it's incredibly easy, forgiving yet fun at the same time. So get it.

Epic Yarn seems like the most perfect game for kids.

Get it, it's insanely fun.
I played it and I nearly cried from the sheer cuteness of it all.
My lil cousin adored it and the happy sounds and colorful backgrounds are just like a cartoon for them.
 
Just be sure to play it yourself too, you're missing out otherwise!

Too easy, get him Super Meat Boy instead.
 
That'll learn 'em.

I think Kirby would be a great choice, especially due to the very low number of good kids games out there.

VERY!

But alas, they only have a Wii.  Seems a few of you know young ones who have enjoyed it, guess that solves this holiday.  Perhaps I'll look at that Rabbids one for the next, seems amusing, though a little bit tougher. "

There is a wii version of SMB coming, just tell them you'll buy that when it comes out :).  Seriously though, Kirby is the perfect game. "

Common, MadWorld would be way better for kids than SMB.  "

Small children learn quickly, so difficulty shouldn't deter you from buying any game for him.

I don't think there's more suitable game for a six year old out there than Kirby's Epic Yarn. Go for it.

I don't see why you would ever think that Epic Yarn would be a difficult and frustrating game for your nephew.

im trying to imagine someone weeping and screaming "THIS GAME IS SO CUTE" "

" @TaliciaDragonsong:  how dare you !! ofcourse ive seen the QL "

I don't think there's a better choice

All Kirby games are suitable for every human being ever. 
 
Fanboy? Me? Yeah, I guess I am.

Having been a six-year-old that played video games, even if that was 15 years ago, I can attest that difficulty is no more of a problem for children than grown people. I played a considerable amount of Donkey Kong Country when I was six, and that was way less forgiving than Kirby. But then, I played a lot of Kirby back then as well.

This game is on the list my 9yr old nephews christmas list.  I wouldn't have hesitated on the purchase if they had the DS version he thought they did.

Everything is soft and made of yarn.  Kirby doesn't kill anything and he can't die or lose a life or fail in anyway at a level.  It is the perfect game for a child.

But Kirby has a high probability of making someone appreciate yarns, arts & crafts, and knitting, so be forewarned.
