ELECTRONIC PLAYGROUND 50-IN-ONE
Posted February 5th, 2010
Product Description
Build over 50 Electronic projects together with finger hold lamp, steel detector, transistor radio, alarm. Learn about voltage, current, resistors, capacitors as well as most more. Uses open hook-up method.Requires 1 “9V” batteryEditorial Review
The Electronic Playground & Learning Center is a good approach to deliver kids to a universe of electronics. Easy-to-build circuits learn a operation of over 50 electronic circuits, but requiring a make make use of of of any collection or soldering. Learn about a make make use of of of voltage, currents, resistance, resistors, capacitors, as well as about most alternative electronic beliefs as well as components. The Electronic Playground & Learning Center is easy to assimilate as well as comes entirely fabricated with all electronic tools as well as step-by-step instructions. It requires a single 9-volt battery (not included). –Chris Livesay

I got this for my ten year old son who was interested in electricity and electronics. We have been going thru the lessons one at a time and he has been learning a lot. The book that comes with the toy is written so that he can understand the concepts of resistance and capacitance which is as far as we have gotten so far.
The toy is lightly built and would probably be reduced to junk outside of adult supervision but it is sturdy enough for him to use when supervised.

This IS the best educational toy I have ever seen! With all the bells and whistles you could possibly want, it’s the perfect way to start your kid learning electronics. I would suggest being at least 11 years old though because the going can get a little tough for younger kids after the 10th of 50 experiments! The only problem is you might not want to put it on something unstable because it is a little delicate. Otherwise enjoy a nice gift for someone just starting electronics!

The Electronic Playground reminds me very much of the type of electronics kit I had when I was young. I bought this for my son who is 6. While the instructions and details were a little above his head the kit was not. The projects are very straight forward and the the wiring guides are as easy as “connect the dots” (really!). My only minor complaint is that the frame is a bit flimsier (paper and plastic)then I would like.
My son and I did two projects in about 2 hours (two of the smaller ones) and I was able to use the kit to make some customizations (leverage the variable resistor add a light to the electronic buzzer etc.) and show him how circuits/components can be expanded and improved.
But beyond the ease of use the instruction booklet is really quite an excellent resource on basic electronics. For an older child the kit could/should provide a pretty good grounding (pardon the pun). The combination of straight forward instructions (so you get get things to work) and well written explanations (so you know why they work) is great.
I really can’t wait to do more projects with my son or ….
maybe I’ll just borrow it at night and do them myself.
