Problem is that there's too much variation on what's considered fit for
ten year olds. (elsie, I know there's supposed to be a hyphen somewhere
in there, but I have no idea where. Help?)


Since you're asking: ten-year-olds

Use hyphens when the phrase is functioning like a single unit.
Grammatically, "ten-year-olds" is a noun which just happens to be made up
of
three words.


Dang, here I've been doing it wrong all this time . . .


You can always ask your friendly neighborhood grammar teacher. It's not my
favorite course to teach, but I do teach grammar.


Well, it's as basic (and boring) as English, or any other language,
gets. Still, no one ever corrected me, so I never gave it a thought .
