I purchased this toy for my nephew’s birthday and he was thrilled. He called to tell me that it was “the coolest toy ever” which is very high praise for a 12 year old. I will be purchasing for other nephews for Christmas!

Toy is fun for our 8 year old son and a great learning toy that makes him think.

Snaptricity is not the first Elenco Snap Circuit I have purchased for my grandson. He can do it all himself……..these are fabulous. Great educational value; very sturdy….and so engaging for the budding engineer! Perfect for ages starting at 7 or 8……….altho younger siblings are fascinated to watch. Elenco is a responsive and responsible company….when a part is lost, they send it very fast…..they have replaced lost directions as well as parts!

When I was in the 5th grade, my parents gave me a Heathkit radio to assemble as a Christmas present. That led to additional interest in electronics, a degree in Electrical Engineering and a career in computer design. Our grandson is continually questioning how all things work, so this seemed like an ideal present for his 5th birthday. He is just starting to read, so he is unable to perform the experiments alone, but it is an exceptional opportunity for grandparent-grandson interaction and bonding.
I am impressed by all aspects of this item, and give it enthusiastic endorsement.
The booklet lists 78 experiments, each with very clear assembly and operation instructions. A very pleasant surprise is the “Educational Corner”, which turns each experiment experience into a discussion on diverse topics – electicity, lightning, magnetism and static electicity.
The box claims that the experiments are appropriate for ages 8-108. I can attest that with adult supervision, the experiments hold the rapt attention of children of ages 5, 3 and 1. The 5 year old retains the information we discuss and talks about the details on subsequent use. The 3 year old may not retain the information we discuss, but he understands and contributes to the experiment assembly. The 1 year old sits patiently and then holds out her finger to activate the switches for the experiment, and giggles with every flying saucer launch or light activation.

Bought it for my pre-school-aged son. We’ve made circuits detailed in the instructions and our own designs. He loves flipping switches to turn combinations of lights on full / dim / etc. Also loves to launch the propeller off the motor high / low into the air based on switch positions for parallel vs serial circuits including lamps. Things I’d change: the bar magnet is supposed to be stowed in the box close to the compass – I’d put them at opposite ends of the box so the compass keeps true longer. Comes with 3 incandescent lamps – recommend 2 of those and 1 LED to demonstrate difference in power consumption and light quality. Also would be nice to have a different electromagnet unit that could be used in conjunction with the clear iron filings container to show flux lines. One more pushbutton switch (Normally Closed to complement the Normally Open one). Finally, add a simple circuit breaker on the power supply. With today’s NiMH AA batteries packing more punch, it would be good to have a tool to explain and demonstrate the importance of safety.
