Super Snap!

My mom bought this for my 8 year old son for his birthday. I love how simple the directions are. He loves how quickly he can make something work! It is clear to understand, and he sees how the circuit works and how to fix it if it doesn't! I would highly recommend this activity to anyone (within the age range) looking for some independant scientific experimentation and fun!

Great product! We gave this as a gift to a friend. Our son started with this kit. It is very easy to use, instructions are clear, and the sets all work together. Then, you can make up your own creations.

Snap Circuits is a perfect hybrid of toy and science experiment. It is easy to use and demonstrates electricity concepts by allowing the user to learn by hands-on experiments. It is well-designed and user-friendly and is all around a great product.
Very pleased!

This is a wonderful, educational, age-appropriate toy/activity for our seven-year old son. He is generally able to follow the directions on his own and thoroughly enjoys doing the experiments. While he is able to do the experiments on his own, we enjoy helping him with them as well- particularly the ones involving water! With one hundred experiments included with Snap Circuits, Jr., this toy will definitely keep our son engaged and learning for a long time!
fun and educational!

My son (9 years old) played with this at a friend's home and really wanted his own. He is enjoying playing with it, and learning something about electronics too. Some 12 year-old cousins came over and they made some exciting creations as well. A great toy for kids who like Lego and science.

Range of possibilities for teaching circuits, electricity, etc. to a small child is endless. My son loves the fan, motor, and speaker. He hasn't progressed to setting up his own circuits, but he is grasping the concepts.

We got the Snap Circuits Jr. for our son's fifth birthday and he adores it! His father flipped too, as they worked together building one after another.
A well made, scientific toy that clearly a child can grow with. Highly recommended for anyone interested in how electricity and circuits work to create all sorts of devices.

This was great, and it's all in one deal. I don't have to shop at different stores to buy wires, batter holders, pins etc, to help my 6-year old for various projects from a 101 project book. He is having so much fun making the fan to spin. Good buy.

My son received this toy and started playing with it right away. He also started to test different configurations of circuits without risk of destroying anything. The toy let him test multiple connections to see what happened. The toy is sturdy and well-built and it works as advertised.

The product quality and intuitive design was far better than what I expected. Both my kids, 6 and 12, took to it immediately and by next day were putting together the more complex of the circuits. I am planning to buy a few more for gift purposes. An excellent buy for any one looking to get their kids started with electronics and basic priciples of electricity.

This is a very good educational thing or toy. My 6 year old son like building the circuits especially the one with the lamp and the one with the motor and fan blade. This thing is a perfect simplified design that my son was able to capture the idea of building the simple circuits.
I'm one of those people who has a background in "Ohm's Law," so I really like having this educational thing, and this is a good tool for me to teach my son at an early age about Voltage, Current, Resistor, Load, etc. in a fun and entertaining way.
Good job to you creator of Snap Circuits Jr.!!!

My children both 4 and 7 repeatedly play with the Snap Circuit Jr all on their own. They enjoy making the circuits work and I enjoy watching them being creative and independent. In fact I just bought another one for my son's best friend. I would give this toy to any child that I love.

Toy is well designed and directions easy to follow. My son is 6 and having an absolute ball with the toy. He has built several of the projects and already asking if we can buy add-ons. He is full of questions about electricity and how it works through water. Good thing I love toys like this too and can help explain. For those that don't know, maybe there could be a parent section to help explain. Maybe that section exists and I just missed it. I'm sure we will be adding to the kit.

My grandson is 7 years old. I would highly recommend Snap Circuits Jr. It was engaging for both of us. Fun, sometimes questioning together, and it goes on and on. The interaction between both of us, and this product was superior. We both learned, and it was a JOY to watch my grandson grow.

Product is cool... I had something similar -- but way more complicated as a kid. I recall building a radio and thought it was really neat, but never building anything else because of how delicate and complicated it all was. This product is not as advanced (it is the "Jr" version after all) but easy to use and well designed. My 6 year old loves and my 4 year old is beginning to catch on to it too.

This is a review of a gift for my great-nephew. I have looked and read and observed the overall and general quality of the instructional Manual . This manual is very good and clearly displays warnings and troubleshooting for beginners and troubleshooting for advanced for persons. This manual clearly displays very good pictures and very good instructions. Because I am not going to open the parts which covered and sealed, I do not give this an excellent rating. But the excellent quality of the manual does seem to indicate a very good product.

My children and I absouletly LOVE Snap Circuits Jr. As soon as we opened the package, both my 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son were immediately excited about it. We sat down right away and built the first three circuits. They were fairly easy to do and the directions were clear. My son, even though he is 5, is extremely interested in it and wants to make his own projects. Due to the chance he could ruin pieces of this set, I have let him know that this is a toy that has to be done with an adult. I am sure this toy will be even more fun for him once is is older and able to read the directions for himself.

My 6-year old son is very good at building LEGO sets, but once the spaceship is assembled, the challenge is over. Some LEGO sets fall apart easily, or are too fragile for a 6-year-old's idea of fun. This set offers him and his 8 year old cousin a set of projects that are built following simple diagrams, and ALSO fun to play with and improvise. They built a fort then built an alarm for it with snap circuits.
Great Toy!

My eight year old son really liked this toy from the the first time he saw it and spent quite a bit of time creating different circuits, although he had never heard of the toy before and it was not on his must have list. He plays with it often. He is learning a lot about electronics and how to complete the circuits to make the bulb light up, or have the police siren sound, etc. The toy comes with a book containing 101 pre-designed projects, or the child can design his/her own. I would highly recommend it for children 8 years old and older, and especially potential and budding electronics techies. Parents, this is one toy that you do not have to spend hours putting togther before your child can enjoy it.

We bought this as a gift for our 10-year-old nephew who has every toy under the sun. After he opened the Snap Circuits Jr kit, he sat down and played with it all night. (His 8-yr-old brother looked longingly at the kit and said he wished he could build with it too.) During our dinner (and well after), he'd build the different projects and proudly show them to us. He thanked us over and over for this gift and said it was his favorite. It was such a hit with our nephew!
Nice Kit, Quite A Leap From The Old Electronic Kits

I grew up with the traditional electronic kits. With the tangle of wires, the little metal springs to fuss with, and so many broken circuits. You could never find the wire that wasn't quite touching the spring. This kit is a total re-think of electronic kits. The snaps are really the trick.

My 7 year old son received this as a gift when he turned 6. He played with it throughout the year. This toy has staying power. This was so popular with my son, he suggested that we buy it as a gift for his 6 year old cousin. So far, he has had lots of fun with the Snap Circuits Jr, too. Money well spent on an toy that teaches and intrigues.

My 8 year old son loves to build things. I thought he would be interested in the Snap Circuits, and I was right. He spent hours building as many different things as he could. (I appreciate that the volume on the noise-generating projects was quite low). He only stopped when it was time for bed. This is sure to generate more interest in how things work.

My 7 year old son is enjoying building different "inventions" of Snap Circuits Jr. When he's not following instructions, he's beginning to attempt making his own. The quality of the product is great. The packaging and storage is fantastic as well. I especially like that there are other kits and accessories that can be added onto the existing product. I only wish that it were made in USA and that the instructions would explain why and how something is working. Rather than just instructions to put it together. Regardless, it seems like a toy that will last a long, long time!

The father of our 7 1/2 yr. grand-nephew, who likes science and experiments with electricity with his dad, says, "He can't stop talking about it or thinking about it." So I guess he's kind of obsessed with it. It actually helps get him out of bed in the morning, since he wants to make things as soon as he wakes up. At school he was drawing pictures of circuits he wanted to put together.

My 8 year old grandson smiled from ear to ear when after a few minutes with this kit, he produced a working alarm. He was able to work independently with the excellent diagrams. He had such a good time that we had trouble getting him away from it. Soon he was asking for more information about why and how it all worked. We got to introduce him to some science terms that responded to his curiosity. This is the kind of toy that makes gift-giving a satisfying experience for every parent and grandparent.

I purchased the Snap Circuits Jr. for my very active nephew. I wanted something that would motivate him to sit still and use his brain. Snap Circuits Jr. turned out to be perfect. He loves it so much that he takes it everywhere with him, even to bed! He's especially excited that he's getting away with playing with electricity,something "naughty". My sister thanked me for finding the perfect gift. Now shopping's a no-brainer for her. She's already ordered one for another little boy's birthday party.

I Got Thanked A Lot Today For This Gift

I gave my 8 year old son this kit. First, he had to get the hang of following a grid, now he's working on getting the hang of "layering" the parts. He got through the first ten projects with some supervision, and then struck out on his own. My only rule was that he had to always put the blue snap wires on his battery pack before hooking anything else up...explaining that it only works if he can get the power to flow in a circle, or, as the case may be, a rectangle. He was able to put together a light and some sounds on his own. He thanked me about ten times. For an 8 year old, I expect that you have to be close by to mentor the child. For an 8 year old, I think the projects increase in difficulty at a fast rate.

My nine year old adores this product. It's a lot of fun, and I get a chance to explain some of the concepts behind it. My only caveat is that sometimes the project just doesn't work. Did we build it incorrectly? I don't think so, but, then again, maybe we did. It looks like we did it right from the diagram. All in all, a wonderfully realized learning experience that is much more intuitive and easy to operate than the clunky kits I had as a kid thirty years ago.

I ordered this for my 7 year old daughter, who is mildly interested in science and such. She, as well as my 4 year old son, love it and think it's pretty cool. I agree, it is cool. We've only done a few of the simple projects do far, but it's been great. Directions are fairly simple, though even my 7 year old needed assistance to get the hang of it. I highly recommend this product.
