filter products by age in magento site

Question

We are devoloping a "toys for kids" magento site.

So we are planning for main categories = Boys & girls.

along with that we have to filter products as "0-2 years" , "2-4" years, "4-6years"..etc.

I guess it's similar like "shop by price[0-100] , [100-200] & shop by color".

you can see demo here, below gallery images : http://www.templatemonster.com/demo/46006.html

please guide me to find solution.
