- Reviewed in Canada on April 12, 2025Verified PurchaseGrandson really liked this gift. He picked up on the concept pretty quickly. It's nice to purchase a circuit board like this. He's built a door bell and even a radio. I would most definitely recommend this product for children. Lots of fun and also learning things.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2025Verified PurchaseIt¡¯s almost two months past Christmas and my kiddo still plays with it daily, first thing each morning (and honestly, often the last thing at night as some projects work best in the dark!). A healthy appreciation for science and curiosity about how things work are needed for this gift (ex: my daughter isn¡¯t into science and can¡¯t see the appeal¡ my son ADORES it).
One month in, we printed off the extra projects from the website and he was DELIGHTED (he had completed the other 150 numerous times by that point). If your kid is interested in this sort of thing, this set is wonderful. The company is willing to replace broken parts (I think it¡¯s three per customer) and has been wonderful.
The love of science expanded exponentially and he¡¯s experimenting with his own projects/circuits. He¡¯s requesting more snap circuits / ¡®stem¡¯ activities for upcoming birthday gifts now :)

- Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2024Verified PurchaseMy son LOVES this set, he spends HOURS building different circuits and is always amazed at the end results! Instructions are easy to follow and results give him such satisfaction and interest in trying to build his own circuits.
Definatly recommend if you have a child who is interested in building and knowing how things work.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2025Verified PurchaseWe bought this as a Christmas gift for an 8 year old, who loved it. It¡¯s a great way to learn and experiment with simple circuits. Unfortunately, the paper manual was missing from the set. There is a digital version provided on the manufacturer¡¯s website, but a paper copy would have been nice.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 21, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is a high quality activity. Very well build and constructed. Provides hours of fun, and you can download many other schematics for free.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2025Verified PurchaseGreat learning toy. Bought it for my niece's birthday present who turned 10, and she loved it!
- Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2015Verified PurchaseMy four-year-old is thrilled with this toy! Due to his age, he initially needed parental supervision and guidance to build anything, but once we spent some time showing him how to interpret the diagrams (he does read as well, which helps greatly) he was able to build things on his own with little or no assistance. He now creates his own projects without the manual.
The '300 projects' part is somewhat misleading, as so many of the projects are just variations on the same theme, but there is definitely enough to keep him busy for a long time to come. As he gets older, we hope that he will begin to understand more about the "how" of all these projects, but in the meantime, there is much fun to be had in making lights blink, alarms beep, and propellers fly!
The company lives up to its promise to replace broken/missing parts for free. We have had to obtain three replacement parts, and we just filled out a web form and they showed up in the mail a couple of weeks later, no hassles and no questions.
Highly recommend.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 3, 2024Verified PurchaseThe projects are well defined and follow a good progression in the manual. Overall, there should be more interesting results, more lights flashing, sound generating, motor speeds changing etc. The parts-placement graphing system is a great way to have kids start using 2 dimensional graphs. Colour coding for parts is excellent as are the parts descriptions. This is a very useful kit and it has help our grandson's interest well; gift was for his 6th birthday. His 4 year old brother is also fascinated by the projects and overall projects they can build.

5.0 out of 5 stars ?Qui¨¦n dijo que aprender era aburrido?
Verified PurchaseFue un regalo para un peque?ito de 7 a?os, a quien le gust¨® mucho.
Antes de comprarlo revis¨¦ los comentarios y busqu¨¦ algunos videos que mostraban el juguete en acci¨®n. Ten¨ªa mis dudas, pero hasta el momento puedo decir que ha superado mis expectativas.
No solo es una manera atractiva para que un ni?o aprenda acerca de circuitos el¨¦ctricos y electr¨®nicos, sino que representa la oportunidad de adquirir, de manera l¨²dica, una herramienta que podr¨ªa ser ¨²til a futuro.
Aunque las piezas son seguras y de f¨¢cil manejo para un ni?o, considero que necesita supervisi¨®n de un adulto para evitar una conexi¨®n que accidentalmente pueda arruinar alg¨²n elemento del kit. Adem¨¢s, el manual de los proyectos viene completamente en ingl¨¦s y es necesario darle lectura a cada uno para aprender lo m¨¢s que se pueda de cada experimento.
Otra cosa que me gust¨® es el hecho de poder comprar actualizaciones (piezas nuevas, piezas adicionales y nuevos proyectos) e ir avanzando en complejidad.
Sin duda un juguete educativo y divertido.
