User Submitted Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-01-07 Fun with circuits Got this for my 7 yr old - and we had a great time with it. I started the first couple of projects with him and then he took over and was able to create all sorts of noisy fun. So far, he has learned about a basic circuit, however the book doesn't really require him to learn about the components and what they do. But that doesn't stop it from being fun. Date: 2008-01-07 Great toy for curious minds I got this set for my 9 year old son who took a Snap Circuits class in summer school. He loves it! Very educational, easy to follow instructions to build very interesting projects with a fan , light, and sirens. Holds his attention for long stretches. Highly recommend it. Date: 2008-01-07 12 y/o boy review We got this for our 12 y/o boy (a hard to buy for age). He really likes putting together the different configurations and experiments and will bring them to us, "Hey, look what I made this time!" Great for rainy days, keeps him busy and interested for several hours at a time! I recommend this for that hard to buy for tween age! Date: 2008-01-06 Engrossing! My two 6 1/2 year olds are absolutely engrossed in this kit, eagerly working through the projects (on #30 right now, and anxious to get to the ones that will involve water...). The pieces are easy to snap into place, the diagrams are clear, and the instructions are simple--a great toy for kids who love science! Date: 2007-12-31 Great toy for kids and parents alike! I'll start off by admitting that I am a super nerd! I love all things "tech" and I have an electrical background so I may be a little biassed. My daughter is seven and is also somewhat into gadgets. Don't get me wrong.... She loves her Barbies and Bratz too. She is always asking me to play with her but I is pure torture for me to even think about playing dolls! Here lies the beauty of this toy. As with most kids, they just want their parents to spend time with them. I fully understand this and do enjoy spending time with her. With this toy, we can do something together that is educational. She really likes this toy. The quality is great. The instructions are extremely well laid out. I would say that some six year olds and all seven year olds and older can build the circuits themselves. While this is a good thing, it can also water down the educational value. The toy can become an exercise in simply following directions and creating what is laid out in the book. Adult comments, ideas and suggestions add a lot to the childs understanding of what they just created. The projects are not all that elaborate and will probably not impress most adults. Simple alarms and flashing lights are most of what you get but a child is amazed that they were able to create it. I recommend this toy to any child six and up that is into gadgets. If an adult will join the child in playing with this toy, I HIGHLY recommend it. Both will have a great time!
