A new handmade rosary I made for my daughter for Christmas
 
I voted 5 because when my oldest dtr was about 4 1/2 she had a dream in which the Blessed Mothe appeared to her and told her to be good in church and to start praying the Rosary every day. she knew the Our Father and the Hail Mary but never thought of teaching her the Rosary so young. But when she told me of her dream we started the daily Rosary that night.

It’s beautiful.

I don’t have any kids, so no idea when to start a child on the Rosary. I always thought that - if included - the Fatima prayer might be sorta heavy for little children… “Save us from the fires of Hell!”
…But what do I know.
 
I think as eary as possible. I voted 5 but it would depend on the child. My mother taught me the Rosary prayers & I knew them at age 5. I don’t remember learning the Mysteries, but I did some where along!! 😉
 
I started my kids with their own rosaries when they were about 5. When they started kindergarten they knew the prayers.

When they made their First Communions, they were given a nice “grown up” rosary. My grandmother had them made for us when we all made our First Communions; mine is at my bedside. I have continued this custom with my grandchildren.

BTW the rosary you have pictured is very beautiful.
