Snap CircuitsLights Age 8+

I bought this for my nephew's 7th birthday. Whilst the kit says 8+ the nephew is very ahead in this area academically and into science and engineering so I got him this (to use with some initial supervision). The build quality of the kit is superb, there are some really lovely touches (for example a flying spinner that's part of the kit is glow in the dark). The projects in the booklet are well described and easy to assemble, and the building blocks are designed in a way that it makes it easy to assemble the projects. There are also some very well thought out and engaging explanations as to what is going on within the projects. My nephew loves it - a really great educational toy especially for Lego enthusiasts who like building things

I bought this in the US for my 6 yr. old grandson for his family's fall visit. He got into it so much that I bought another one via Amazon.co.uk when they returned to the UK. He loves it and has gone through every experiment/circuit. It is just the right combination of easy assembly, lights, sound, motion to give a 6 yr. old (and his Dad and Grandpa) a feeling of accomplishment for each project.

Great item, my daughter has loved learning how circuits work and the seller was quick at dispatching. Couldn’t recommend enough

"I don't know whether my favourite present is this [surprise] from Grandma and Grandada or my Babie Dreamhouse [yearned for months] from Nanna and Grandad," Princess Sofia (sophistated 7). 'Nuff said.What must be added is that the customer service and warranty, from manufacturers Elenco, is as good as you will ever find. They offer a genuine lifetime replacement guarantee on ALL parts. Our S1 switch came apart on Boxing Day. The quality seems great but sometimes things like that happen with any product. With some scepticism I completed their online replacement request form, as advised on the back of the instruction book, rather than returning the othrrwise perfect set to Amazon. They replied the next day and sent us a new one straight out from their UK distribution centre. In the long run this probably saves them money, but I can't help thinking that companies who make products like this probably have a higher goal.

Bought this a bit out of desparation as my 8yo had a very limited christmas list this year, but it's a fantastic toy and a surprise hit in our house. There are lots of components included which can be put together lots of ways and my son has enjoyed working through the project book - let's face it making projects that involve speed, flying and lights are probably going to be popular with most children. He's started making his own circuits too, which I guess shows some learning has taken place?

My kid is supposed to have adhd and doesn’t read . With a little help he’s building circuits and enjoying himself. The title is his review I will be buying the bigger kit for Christmas

Brought as a Christmas gift for my son. He has spent hours playing and creating different circuits

Very good set.I got this for my grand daughter she loves it and finds it very interesting working out the various projects and the results when completed.The instructions are clear and also in picture form which makes building the circuits much easier.
