Summary: Never knew this could be so much fun!
Comment: My son played with this at a children's learning museum once and has wanted one ever since. I was skeptical, but suggested it to his aunt for a birthday present. I am impressed at the huge variety of projects kids can do. He just opened it yesterday and he and his best friend have been playing with it for HOURS. Totally cool, very educational, encourages imagination and is just plain fun!!

Summary: Excellent: Fun, educational
Comment: We got this for our son's 6th birthday. It's a little more challenging for him to do it solo but I have no doubt he will be able to within a couple months. He lights up when the music, noise, or lightbulb (or all of them) work. It's a great product. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great gift for kids that like building and figuring out how things work
Comment: My 6 year old son really has enjoyed this gift. We've had it for 8 months now and he still picks it up and tries out a new combination of connections. When we first got it he was so excited that he tried to work his way through the guidebook. The guide booklet describes w/ words and pictures what to do with the pieces (order to put them on etc...). It has well over 80 combinations to make a siren, flying disc etc... not to mention being creative with the pieces. The box is sturdy and the pieces all fit securely into it - I image you could even bring it in the car. It's has long been one of our favorites.

Summary: Snap-Circuits, A Winner!
Comment: I am a teacher who needs self-directed hands-on experiences for my science/technology students at the middle/high school level. Beginners with no previous contact with basic electricity and/or electrons are fascinated with these kits. The parts are well built and durable. The kit is easy to organize and store. The plastic storage tray makes it easy to account for all parts. The kit uses rigid circuit components, making circuits easy to understand... as opposed to using flexible wires. Wires would tend to end up being an uncomprehendable pile of spaghetti. Included are many plans for pre-designed projects, yet the kit is safe and flexible enough to allow a student to experiment to his/her heart's content.

Summary: Family fun
Comment: I bought the smallest kit available to see if my 10 year old would like it for his birthday. Wow! Both our boys 10 & 5, our daughter, my hubby, his dad and I all found ourselves having a great time with it. Each of us made our own project, some with the book and some without. A good chance for grandpa to show off his very impressive skills! Can't wait to add to the set.
