Snap Circuits - Junior 100 Experiments - Multi

I wasn't sure if my 3yr old would like this or be able to, but while he can't read the words yet, he can follow the diagrams and put together the circuits himself now (for the most part). When we first started doing father-son "circuit time", it was a bit foreign to him but the tactile nature of this "toy" and the fact that he is learning quite a lot of skills just by interacting with the toy ... that has made this a very valuable purchase. We've since bought some of the other kits too (the motion one is fun as well). I will say that some of the designs in this one are kinda lame.. but I guess they had to get to the 100+ projects... Also the whistle chip and the photo detector are not great. They have a very easy replacement program if you have defective parts, so we did that, but the replacement ones were just as finicky. The whistle chip you have to whack with your finger - it doesn't really detect sound well. That aside, it's a wonderful activity to do with your kids. I'm sure he'll tire of it at some point, but when he's older and can read the text and learn why these circuits work - that will be a whole new set of learning for him to do.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my niece who is into experiments. She started playing with this right away and we actually had to tell her to put it away so she wouldn’t do all the experiments in one sitting. It was so awesome to see her excited to show everyone what she did. It’s educational and fun! Would definitely recommend!

Best toy ever. My son is playing non stop. He loves using different configurations. He even tried to create his own. Even it has not been successful yet, it did not matter. There plenty of variation in the book that he can use successfully.

Great toy for kids to think a little and have fun. Good Quality not cheap parts. My son likes to make his own circuits now. Go all in with this one so many toys are garbage.

Loved this so much I had to buy him some more. I love finding things he will do with me besides a video fame that starts with F and ends with night lmao (Idk if I can say the game on here), thank u best buy for carrying these.

Son and nephew were both chugging along completing the projects, then coming up with their own versions, but it all started gathering dust within a couple of weeks. Quality pieces though.

I love stem toys. They are fun and makes the kids think and keeps them busy with something educational.

Awesome kit for elementary-aged kids! It is so wonderful showing them how basic circuits work and changing them can change the outputs’ behavior. I kind of wish the ICs had pinouts but perhaps would be too much.
