My son LOVES this "toy." Although I wouldn't call it a toy necessarily. It taught him about circuits--how to make a light flash, a fan blow, a siren wail, etc. The instructions were written well--he was able to create all 100 projects with minimum assistance. Also, because it "snaps" together, it is sturdy, and no wires are floating around the house now. My son even INSISTED that he take it with him to show his grandparents one day. It was "that cool" of a toy. The only problem--once the 100 experiments are done, you need to upgrade. The experiments build upon each other so going back to the start is very simple and "boring."

I have used this product several times in the classroom with elementary and middle school aged children. The response was overwhelmingly positive. The schools we partner with for science demonstrations liked these kits so much they jumped at the chance to get some as a donation. The diagrams are easy to follow. Basic electrical concepts are easy to teach. Kids readily start designing their own circuits. I recommend these kits to anyone who has children interested in hands on experiments.

I've been studying physics with my kids for a while, and a friend recommended Snap Circuits- what a great tool! My son grabbed the set immediately upon its arrival and worked through a bunch of the activities, one after another, and then started creating his own projects. He loves it- and so so my daughter and I!

I bought it for my 7 yr old son after reading all the good reviews and boy I am so glad I did. Its fun toy, easy and excellent to teach your kid basics of electronics at the same time. My son kept on doing one project after the other. He is anyways too much into building/architectural/magnetic toys and always likes to talk about electronics/signals etc. I just wish they make a sturdier box and also provide simple basics of electricity/parts-resistance etc so that child can read and get attuned very early on. I wish I had this toy when I was a kid. Excellent product and great price!!

This is super fun and very educational. I play this with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter and we have a blast!
