5 out of 5 stars Inspires Learning   July 12, 2008
Marla Nargundkar (Atlanta, GA USA)
This is a great educational "toy." The book has so many models to build, each illustrating a different concept. The color coding of the parts and their durability and ease of use are brilliant. This set inspires my 10 year old son to build other inventions. Hours of focus and learning!

My son first started with the Snap Circuits Jr and now loves the Snap Circuits SC-300. Snap Circuits are far superior to other electronic kits. Color coding of parts and modular building on a platform make the Snap Circuits sets immediately accessible to the child (and even adults!) and allow independence right away! The book gives projects in increasing difficulty. Just an amazing set!



5 out of 5 stars Educational and fun....what a parent likes   June 23, 2008
FrequentAmazonShopper (California)
My son loves it. He is in middle school, but this is his first exposure to electronics. I wished they had a little more explanation about certain components and what they do and what their purpose is. Luckily I was able to explain but not all parents will be.


5 out of 5 stars Great Product   June 9, 2008
I purchased this kit for my oldest son and he was excited with every project that he build. Now my youngest son is now asking me to purchase a kit for him. I strongly recommend this kit to any parent that wants their child to learn the basics of electricity.


5 out of 5 stars Go to toy   May 25, 2008
S. Fowler (Apex, NC USA)
My 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter love this toy. It is a go to toy when they are lonely or if they have friends over and want to do something different. Highly recommend!!


5 out of 5 stars 10 yr old and 8 yr old fighting over it!   May 25, 2008

I bought this for my 8 year old son to get him interested more in education, logic and science. Little did I know my 10 year old daughter would want to play with this as well. Also, it's been a great for father/son/daughter bonding, as I can put the projects together with them. I don't write reviews often, but when I do, it's for a great product like this. My 8 year old was so happy with this toy he asked me to write a review as well!
