Snap Circuits Jr. Posted 10/13/2009 by Vicki Davis - GRANDPARENT
I gave this electronics learning set to my grandson for his fifth birthday. He loves it! After doing a few sample projects together, I explained how the board and the pictures are marked with the same grid and that he could use that information to do the projects by himself. He immediately set about working on #5 and with some trial and error, but no frustration, he completed it without my help. He was elated and ready for more. Although he is only 5, it is clear that with over 100 projects of varying degrees of complexity, he will enjoy this set for several years to come.
Super Snap! Posted 8/14/2008 by Ruth A Rood
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!
Very thought provoking Posted 11/27/2009 by Lauren Harnatkiewicz
My son received this for his 8th birthday. Ironically, I had purchased him one, too. He loved it so much he wanted to keep both sets! He has spent hours creating things with it. This was his favorite toy out of everything received. I will be buying some for other children I know!

8 year old grandson readily "took" to this toy and assembled several circuit configurations rapidly. He thoroughly enjoys the game and looks forward to figuring out more configurations for this item.
My 5 Year Old is Addicted! Posted 9/21/2009 by Brad Williams
My five-year-old son wants to do a few of the 101 projects every morning and every evening. The brief descriptions of voltage and current and load etc are very good and appropriate for children. It will greatly help however if the parent already understands these concepts and can fill in where the project explanations are thin, and can for example explain exactly what is happening differently between a series circuit and parallel circuit. (The parallel circuit drops 3V on each branch, but the batteries will wear out sooner because of the higher current flow -- this is not explained in the notes.) The three integrated circuits are also not explained in terms of what each pin is for, so this requires some deduction which someone with no electronics experience at all will be hard-pressed to perform. But still I want to stress that my son loves this. We have had some other electronics kits but this is by far the easiest to use and provides a huge variety of experimentation. We are going so fast, even with my five year old, I realize we should have gotten the 300-project version!

The 8th grade grandson set to work immediately, trying to burn out the motor with multiple numbers and types of batteries. He failed to disable Snap Circuit Jr. I knew this was a good toy. Next, there were efforts to weigh down the spinning wheel, to prevent its turning. Nope, the toy still worked. The 3rd grade grandson tried other experiments and played with it a long time, returning to it throughout the day. This is a good toy, strong and interesting. Well done.
Pretty Cool! Posted 4/5/2009
My 10 year old engineer in training loves the Snap Circuits toy. It keeps his interest and he loves trying new configurations to get all the lights working. Pretty cool!
Product review of Snap Circuits Jr. Posted 1/6/2009 by Jennifer M
Great product and really fun for the kids and adults alike. I love how it all snaps together, both in building and then for storage. It really saves having to keep track of all the pieces.
Fun Posted 12/31/2008
My son is about to turn 9 and is having a blast with this. He has been playing with it for almost a week now, and so far has had no problems building things by himself.
Product review of Snap Circuits Jr. Posted 9/2/2008 - GRANDPARENT
After opening all his presents, this was the first toy my 8 year old grandson played with--he would complete a project and bring it to the livingroom to show all the adults.
Great Item Posted 11/7/2011 by Yelena
I bought this for my 6 year old son on his 5th birthday. So he's been enjoying it for a year now. It's was just a bit challenging for him at the beginning. Now he completes the projects in no time. He likes to show it to his friends too. I am happy with my choice. Will highly reccomend to any one trying to develop multiple skills and knowledge in their children.
Great Rainy Day Fun Posted 3/12/2009 by Julie Smith
We purchased this set for my 10-year-old nephew who is spending spring break with us. He spent most of yesterday playing with it and got it back out right after breakfast this morning to play with some more. I'm wishing now that we had bought a larger set, as spring break is turning into one long rain fest. But so far, he's been happily and profitably occupied.
Snap Circuits Posted 9/15/2008 by Penny Damesworth
Well packaged and seems something my 8 year old grandson will enjoy for a long time. Good booklet to explain what activities he can participate in building with his Snap Circuits, Jr.

I purchased this as a Christmas present for my 5-yr old son. We've had so much fun making all the different projects and learning about electricity, open & closed circuits, resistors and amplifiers that I purchased two more as presents! It is an easy and FUN way to introduce the concept of electricity to children. Both of my boys (I also have a 3-yr old) were explaining concepts to their friends as we played - hands on learining! I would highly recommend it to anyone with inquisitive children.
Review of Snap Circuits Jr. Posted 11/19/2009 by Merel Abruzzese - RELATIVE
My kids love this toy. They play with it for hours. Their friends are fascinated when they come over. They have really learned how electricity works from it. When my third grader did electricity at school this year, it was basically all review for him.
Snap Circuits JR great gift for my 6 year old Posted 7/19/2009 by Carl
Snap Circuits Jr was a great gift for my 6 year old boy. I walked him through the first project and helped him follow the directions. He took off from there and did the first several projects in the book. I thought the written directions and pictures were at his level and he could figure most of the projects out. This is a great Summer Brain activity while his little Brother naps. He likes to show his accomplishments to the whole family.
great science project Posted 6/9/2009 by Inhan Lee
We found this product at the local science olympiad event. My boys (8 and 9 years old) both enjoyed so much that they wouldn't leave the table where it was used as an activity. I wrote down the product and ordered it as a prize for them to participate the science olympiad. My 8 year old boy was impatient to get it delivered and surprizingly delighted with the fast delivery from Fat Brain. I had to set a time limit for the boys to play with the circuits. After woking on several projects, 8 year old one was making his own circuit using copper wire: I had to warn him the wire needs to be insulated with other materials. He said "Still, I won't be electricuted since the voltage is so low". An extra feature I like about this toy is that it shows real shape of resistance, etc., so that I can teach them how to recognize them in the real world. Highly recommend it.
Educational and fun! Posted 5/27/2009 by Rochester, NY
My son received this toy as a gift when he was 5-1/2 years old. He was able to follow the instructions with help. As he got older, he followed the instructions on his own and built his own circuits. The projects are fun and age appropriate. Some of our favorite projects were: make a light bulb turn on, make a siren noise, make it play the "birthday song", fly a disk, and draw circular designs. We have given this toy to many other kids (ages 6-8) as birthday gifts.
Will keep your kids busy Posted 12/6/2008 by Lucie Brodska - RELATIVE
I bought this set for my children and also got it as a present for their friends and cousins. It was a big success. The set includes 100 experiments and gives a wide opportunity of playing with the circuits. Thanks to the special units (sound detector, music, ...) even relatively simple circuit can offer a big effect, something kids usually appreciate.
A huge hit! Posted 8/16/2011 by Amanda Huber - RELATIVE
My 7 year-old nephew loves it! I gave it to him for his birthday and he had done 60 of the circuits by the next day! I'll probably need to get him the non-Jr version for Christmas, this was such a big hit. The only slight downside (other than it "only" having about 100 circuits described, but it's more his enthusiasm that's making that seem like too few) from a learning toys perspective is that the circuit building is great fun but he didn't always get the point the circuit was trying to make (what a resistor does, what a circuit is, etc). We did read him the text for most circuits, ask him what changed that circuit from the previous one, and other reinforcement techniques, but I'm not sure he absorbed much of that because he was hurrying to build the next circuit. That may be a product of his age too, as he's on the young end for this activity. The doing will teach him better than us reading the text to him ever could, but something to help convey the highlights like summaries of what we've learned from the last 10 circuits could be a nice thing to add. However, the lack of it didn't detract from his enjoyment one bit!
Love the Circuit board Posted 8/21/2009 by Mother of 3 boys
I bought this for my son's 8th Birthday. He saw it at a friend's house and loves it. All three boys (ages 4, 6 and 8) love to play with the circuit board and make things happen with electricity. It is just the right size, not too many pieces, but they can turn on a light bulb, ring a bell and make a fan go and their favorite, make the fan fly into the air and back down. My oldest son plays with it for hours.
Mom Posted 5/25/2011
My son had used one at school... couldn't stop talking about it. It's great to be able to spend money on a toy that I know will get played with / used!

This is my 5 1/2 year old's FAVORITE toy from Christmas. It was the first one he wanted to play with at the time, and 3 months later it is still the toy that holds his interest. He takes it on trips with him and proudly shows every one he can the circuits he builds with him.
Kids love it! Posted 3/5/2009 by Leasa Pracht
We got this set for my son's 7th birthday. He and his nine year old sister love it. When they have friends over, it's the first thing they want to play!

This product is very easy to use. The instructions are relatively easy to follow and there are many different projects to keep a child entertained and coming back to it again and again.

This "toy" is awesome! It is teaching my son, who is only 5, all about electricity and how things work. We are a home schooling family and use our games and toys for learning experiences. Snap Circuits Jr. is now my son's favorite toy!
Wonderful! Posted 5/11/2010 by Marilyn
When my daughter's third-grade class started learning about electricity, I remembered Snap Circuits. I bought Snap Circuits Jr for my daughter so that her interest in electronics/electricity would continue and she could have some fun learning more about it. Her 13-year-old sister also loves Snap Circuits, and she and her friends spend lots of time building different projects. The pieces snap together easily, the directions are very easy to understand, and the projects are interesting and fun. This is a great product that both my girls enjoy. We'll probably get the larger set now so that we can build even more interesting electronic projects!
Even better than anticipated! Posted 1/7/2012 by Mom of 3
My 4 1/2 year old son is very interested in anything 'engineerish'. He loves puzzles, gears, things that you put together, etc. I was so excited when I saw this product, but was nervous I might be so excited for it that it would disappoint me in the end. Not so. It was probably his favorite Christmas present. Here is why I love this product: 1) User-friendly and intuitive. I picked up on how to use it immediately and was able to show my son with just a few circuits. He still needs a little help with where to start on the circuit board, but he can very easily see what pieces should be put where, and what needs to change if he does it wrong the first time. 2) Instant reward. My son could do some of the simple circuits to very quickly feel like he was really doing something cool (making the light go, the siren go off, the propeller fly away). Sometimes things that will hold his attention like this have such a long wait time between when we start and finish that, while he likes the result, it's a little anti-climactic at the end because it's taken so long. This is different, it probably only takes a couple of minutes from start to finish for the easier circuits. 3) Pieces are ergonomic and safe. I've heard others say that they had something similar back in the day and they had wires popping out, etc. This is totally safe, all the wires are covered well and easy to snap in. 4) Well built. I have also heard others say they bought a different brand of this same thing and it has a cardboard bottom that bends and eventually just falls apart. This has a hearty plastic bottom and the pieces are well built. 5) It keeps my son occupied with something that stretches his brain AND imagination. There's always something new to do, to think about, etc. I really couldn't be happier with this toy. My son wants to do something new with it the moment the last circuit is built!

This was purchased for use in an enrichment science program for 6 and 7 year old children. I am planning a unit on electricity and circuitry and think that this product is perfect for an introduction.
My grandson's favorite gift from me ever Posted 7/14/2010 by Barbara - GRANDPARENT
I wasn't sure how well this set would go over or how sturdy it would be. Thanks to his scientist dad, my grandson is into science and electronics, so maybe that's why being under 8 was no problem. The first day we did many projects together; by the second, he was creating his own. He has spent the 6 days since receiving it playing with it first thing in the morning and last thing at night--and many minutes in between. The set is very sturdy; only the little fan seems as if it could be higher quality, even though it has to be light to work properly. Looking forward to buying him a more advanced set in the future.

We got this for our son for Christmas, who is almost five. Everybody in the house, including grandparents, have had a good time try out the "experiments". After completing an experiment, my husband will take our son around the house and show him how other circuits work in similar ways. This is a great toy for everyone.

Well, my sons opened this Christmas morning and put it aside. My 10 year old said he thought it might be "lame". When he opened it he was so excited to put it together and make the different things he spent 2hours sitting playing with it. The great thing is that his little brother, who is 7, sat right next to him and helped. It is such a pleasure to see them play together with this great toy. I know that they can use the knowledge they gain from playing with the circuits in Science class at school.

Love how easy it is to snap things together. My 6 year old didn't really like putting things together before, but now that he actually creates something that really works, he's hooked!
Solid, beautiful design! Posted 7/26/2012 - GRANDPARENT
Bought for 6 year old twin grandsons' visit this summer. Beautifully packaged, clear instructions, durable materials. We and the boys LOVE this! I've worked with a children's museum as volunteer and know how frustrating the circuitry stations can be in terms of sturdiness of connections and wires that come loose from contacts. The design of the snap circuits and the clear, step by step (level by level) directions make success a certainty. For our guys, there was NO FRUSTRATION! Initially the boys worked with one adult to complete a project, but after 3 or 4, they were able to do on their own. I'm sure that we'll buy even more Snap Circuits for more complex projects as the guys mature.

We gave this to our grandchild while at a hotel and he and his friend played with it. Each time they completed a project, they showed it to their parents. They even created their own creations. The friends' mother enjoyed it so much that she asked where we got the Snap Circuit Jr. It was a winner. Jim Oberbroeckling

Creative fun! Posted 7/20/2012 by M.F. - GRANDPARENT
Our 7-year-old grandson loved this toy! He made the first few projects with his Dad and then struck out on his own, learning about electrical circuits as he went. It sang Happy Birthday to the dog, flashed a light, sounded a siren. But the favorite so far: the flying saucer! which flew up over the kitchen table again and again throughout the day as he progressed through the book. He was still playing with it when we returned the next day. This is a great toy for fun, learning and creativity.

Great toy Posted 3/3/2011 by Margaret Corcillo - FRIEND
My son really likes this toy and his brothers were very anxious to have him give them a turn with it. After helping him with one or two set ups, he was able to do it on his own. The instructions were clear and explained the parts of a circuit. The only issue is the fan flies right off when the circuit is completed. Maybe it is supposed to do that, because Fat Brain sent me another one, but it did the same thing. The boys thought is was great fun to catch it. My son is 7 years old and this toy was very appropriate for him to use on his own.

I bought this for my 7 yr old daughter's b-day. I wanted a toy that would foster an interest in science and provide learning while being fun and rewarding- this toy does all of that. My 7 year old loves it, and her 9 yr old sister wants to play with it just as much. This toy is easy to use. The directions are simple for them to follow. They do not need my help to make the experiments work. They have both tried to build their own experiment. I will be buying another for my nephew in a few months on his b-day. Highly recommend this product.

Very interesting and at the same time educational toy with nice gratification at the end!

Bought this for my four-year-old nephew and he absolutely loves it! He is an incredibly smart kid and picked up on the concepts almost immediately. Now he won't stop bringing the toy to his father to help him make the next project. Highly recommend for advanced children.

Gave this to my grandsons, ages 7 and 9 for Christmas. They brought it to show me what they could do and seemed to enjoy it. I got the impression they had used all the features and found them fun to play with. Even their 5-year-old brother was proud to show me that he could make some things work. I felt that because of the limited number of options, this toy would not be one they would take out over and over again because they have so many toys, but I felt they really learned something from it.

My grandaughter played with snap circuits all day after she first received it. It fadded off with the busy-ness of her life and she uses it less now. She enjoys it immensely when she does use it though, and more to the point, she learns a great deal from it. It is a toy that I also enjoy "playing" with her and that is very important. (Tea parties can get a little boring!) I highly recommend this toy and the two of us are looking forward to the more advanced edition in the future.

My daughter loves this toy. She is 7 years old and she won't put it down, unless we are playing with the flip hang man, which we also purchased from fat brain toys. She has been playing with circuit jr. For hours on end. I love this toy. I also love he fact that boys and girls can play with it! And the price it perfect!
Great toy for father and son Posted 1/18/2012 by Judith Kaleta - RELATIVE
I sent this to my great nephew for his sixth birthday so he needs help with this but loves it. My nephew was impressed and enjoyed it with his son.

This is a well made product. Since our 9 year old grandchild has had so much fun with the various configurations, we ordered a second Snap Circuits for our 9 year old great niece. I certainly recommend it.

They're hooked! Posted 1/5/2012 by Carrie DeSalvo - GRANDPARENT
Will they play with this for a long time? Probably not ...but they are learning about circuits and current and when they have explored all the potential applications this toy will have done it's job...opening new horizons!
Well made and lots of fun! Posted 1/3/2012 by Anne N. in RI
We got this for our five year old daughter as a fun way to explore electronics and build cool things. The parts seem well made and fit well together. The instructions are clear and all projects that we did all worked. It was fun for the whole family and I like that our daughter who is very much into pink girlish stuff was using the set by herself and proudly brought it with her. While it's recommended for older kids, it seems fine to use at an earlier age. The snaps aren't too hard and the instructions for the earlier projects are understandable at age 5 or six. Most of the projects are more challenging and require adult help or are for ages 8+. There are also descriptions on what each part does and how the set works that are interesting for older kids and adults. The only downside is that the instructions warn you not to create short circuits as it can break the parts. The instructions on what a short circuit is are limited and my physics knowledge is too rusty to judge. So this has put a damper on the kids just freely creating a set up with the parts. We've let them do it without the batteries but they'd love to see what would happen with a battery. Maybe when they understand they system better they'll be able to judge.

I bought this for m 7 year old son. He enjoys it immensely! My husband and son have spent a lot of time playing with this toy. My son also couldn't wait to share it with my uncle and cousin who came over later that day. I think the "big boys" had as much fun as he did.

My 7 year old son and his Engineer Dad, did not stop building different circuit combinations all day long on Christmas. Next day headed to Grandma's and he had to bring it along as well. When asked he said it was his favorite gift of all. Dad loved it too, showing him all the different combinations. A wonderful gift.
Step by Step Success! Posted 12/29/2011 by Gloria Hinojosa
We purchased Snap Circuits Jr. for our 6 year-old granddaughter hoping it would spark her interest in science. The results are amazing, she is now absolutely enthralled by how electricity works. The step by step instructions are easy to follow, everything is color coded and labeled, and once completed the result is instant success. The complexity of the projects is incremental and builds on previous experience so the challenge of trying something new is not overwhelming. The quality of the materials is also excellent and will withstand lots of use. This turned out to be one of her favorite Christmas gifts.

My son only gets to see his son on the holidays--lives in another state.They played a lot with it for the week he was here. My son said it was a good thing and see his son playing with it on other visit here. It gets his son to see how electrical circuits works.

This was a gift that hasn't been opened yet. My son is an engineering student. He made this gift choice for his nieces (5 yo and 7 yo).
What a fun way to learn! Posted 12/19/2011 by Deanna Potter - GRANDPARENT
Snap Circuits has introduced my grandson to the wonders of electrical current while providing hours of fun. The toy offers a variety of applications and has stimulated a desire to do even more.

Our grandson (8yrs) really enjoyed learning how this works with his pop pop who is an electrician. Who knows, could be the beginning of his future in electronics? He was thrilled with working the fan and launching it.

My son is so interested in how things work and is a very hands on kid. Im glad I was able to find this for him. There are so many different things he can do. As a child, his father would break things a part just to see how things worked from the inside so this is definitley something they enjoy doing together.

A perfect gift for an 8 year old who likes to build stuff.
Great for little engineers! Posted 9/6/2011 by Jennifer Becker - RELATIVE
I bought this for my nephew who loves to build and create new things. It's now his new favorite toy! He's asking for the larger set for Christmas.
Snap Circuits Jr. Posted 7/29/2011 by Love FBT!!
We bought this for our 7 year old son who is very creative and geared more toward imagination and learning. He loves the design element behind each of the "projects" and lights up with excitement after each project that's built. The pieces are very well marked and organized along with an exceptional design diagram per project. We are VERY pleased with this purchase (as usual from FBT). A definite buy for any child who likes to build or is interested in how things can operate!!
Love It! Posted 4/13/2011 by Jessi Webb
Our 6 year old can't seem to get enough of this. He builds the same thing over and over again but is entertained by it every time. I love that he is able to do the easy circuits without help - giving him confidence and something to be proud of.

Great intro to electronics!
My rating of Snap Circuits Jr. Posted 3/9/2011 by Matthew Chung
My son (5yrs) is still alittle young for the toy, and does not yet read. He can still follow the diagrams and enjoys putting the projects together. Ultimately, he sees it more like a puzzle that has a party trick once completed. At this point, his attention is not held enough for him to occupy him along like leggos might, but we enjoy doing it together, and hopefully he will get more out of it further down the road.
