“I'm an electrical engineer and when I was a kid I would've been screaming to get this.It's a super fun way to demonstrate electronics to kids and have them experiment on their own. The snap circuit immediately picks up where other building toys leave off. So anyone that is familiar with a Lego set should be ready to work with this.Many of the circuits are a lot of fun. The younger ones will be immediately drawn in by the fan, especially when you can make it fly off! From there you can show them the meter, then the voice recorder, and so on and so forth. To them it's all play, but they will learn about electrical circuits, conductivity, power and more.My kit showed up missing some components, but an online form on the manufacturer's website had that corrected in about a week.The one thing I don't like is that the voice recorder also plays prerecorded songs, after the voice recording, that can't be recorded over. It takes away from the child's experience of learning about controls and inputs by putting something in there they may not want. The songs are random (there are a few different melodies it can play) which takes further away the control from the child. I suspect this was done to help learn how to use the part, but my child found it annoying.”
“I bought this as an activity for our grandchildren on rainy days. They absolutely LOVE it. The illustrations are very easy to follow and it's a perfect way to educate them about electricity while they are having fun. Highly recommended even if parents/grandparents aren't electrical engineers!”
“My 8/yo son received this as a Christmas gift. He was unsure about it in the beginning but he loves it still to this day. He loves being able to create the circuits and watch the things it can do. It is also fun to watch him tinker if he puts in together incorrectly, figuring out where the circuit is off and fixing it on his own!”
“This is like the best gift ever, drive curiosity and improvisation to discover what different electrical components do in different circuits!Very impressive and highly recommended!”
