Awesome! Jul 09, 2010
We bought this for my son for his 5th Birthday. He LOVES "experiments". At first I thought it may be too old for him, but it's perfect. Very indestructable and easy to follow the instructions. I don't know who's more excited to own this, my son or my husband!

The best gift ever! Jun 30, 2010
I bought two of these sets, one for a six-year-old, tho other for a twelve-year-old. The six-year-old liked the toy well enough, but he needed a lot of help in putting some of the projects together. He loved the flying saucer project and set it off several times in a row. The 12-year-old, however, was completely entranced. He opened the box and immediately set about making a doorbell, a radio, a flying saucer, a Morse code program, a trombone, a typewriter, and several other projects--all before the end of his birthday party!. His sisters, one 14 and the other 12, were also entranced and had to be reminded this was their brother's gift. I do not recall ever giving a gift that has been this much of an immediate "hit."

One thing I wondered about: Are the kids really learning about electronics, or are they just following the diagrams? But I think that this approach is similar to the way kids learn a video game or a computer program: They do not read about it and analyze it; they just do it, and learn in the doing. If you ask as they are making a project, "Can you think of an application for that?", the learning will be enhanced.

I recommend this toy highly, and I am thinking of ordering the Snap Circuits 750 as a gift for all three kids for Christmas.

Great Mind Toy Jun 22, 2010
We bought this for our 7 year old for Christmas 2009. What a blast. We were getting a robot for our other son, so we had to up the anty. Well, this one did it. The instructions are very visual, and while our son was starting to read, the words were too difficult, but he could create just following the pictures.

This toy has provided hours of BRAIN-tainment. He has learned all about electricity in a fun way - sirens, helecopters, lights, and more. This may just get him interested in science for life. We chose to use rechargeable batteries, because it gets used so much.

By the way, the robot sits in the corner as a door stop, the snap circuit still gets used! And, he also wants the snap circuits for christmas this year.

Terrific Set Jun 11, 2010
This is a really great set and I can't recommend it strongly enough. I bought this for my 4-year old so we could work on it together. It's been three days since it arrived and we've built the first 15 circuits. Both of us love it. The set is well made and the instructions are very clear. The snaps are a bit challenging for a 4-year olds dexterity, but this is expected given the higher age recommendation; she gets very excited with the lights, sounds, and especially the flying saucer. Lots of fun and very educational!

This is the ultimate thing! Jun 07, 2010
