Snap Circuits are a fun and educational way to introduce children to electricity and how it works. This do it yourself set encourages children to experiment with circuits. It has 101 projects and 30 snap together parts.
It is for ages 8 and up but my son got this when he was 5 and LOVES it. He does it with daddy or mommy close by to help if there is a question. It is a great family project. We all love to sit down and figure out how to get the doorbell to ring or complete other projects. I would say that if you would like your child to be able to do this on their own they will need to be able to read and follow directions.
This is a fabulous set at a great price! The only thing you may regret is not upgrading to a bigger set to begin with. Don't worry because Snap Circuits offers a 300 project set for you to upgrade too. If you want to just introduce your child to circuits and test the waters then this 100 set is perfect for you.
