hours of Fun - Very Cool
This is a great starter set and it's much better than what we had when we were kids because the wires are incased in plastic - solid connection every time. . . neat toy

Awesome!
I bought this for my nephew. He is 7 1/2 but loves electronics and anything to do with energy. He is very advanced in science so I thought that he would be perfect for this. He hasn't stopped playing with this since he got it. Other ciruit things he has gotten were way too advanced and really hard to put together. My sister said that the board that comes with it was really helpful at first, but he can do other things without the board if he wants. The whole family is now shopping for add on and other projects. What a great toy!

This is a snap!!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R23LJQOT2CM4ED This is the ideal kit to get your child on the road to understanding electricity. Everything just snaps together like building blocks, and there's no need for screwdrivers, soldering irons, electrical tape or testers.

The instruction manual is easy to read, and includes diagrams for 101 projects. With a little help for the first few, a child can easily work their way through the book with minimal adult supervision.

The video shows a few of the projects - a switch circuit with light bulb, running a DC motor and fan, a Space War alarm combo, and a flying saucer. There's also a clip of a lamp and fan in series, showing that the fan takes a while to turn at full speed because of inertia.

There are also games, sirens, projects activated by clapping or light, and projects that introduce digital circuits. There are three kits that are more advanced, but you can also get upgrade kits to take each to the next level.

If you're looking for an educational toy that your child will really enjoy, I recommend you put this one on your list.

Great fun and educational too!
Bought this for my 9 year old daughter and she loves playing with it. She is learning but having fun. Even my 6 year old likes to see it work and is learning as well. Wish we would have bought the bigger one :) I think this is a good buy!

I bought this for my 8 year old son for Christmas - it was a huge hit. He said it was the best toy and it wasn't even on his list - even my 13 year son plays with it!!!
