I have fond memories of playing and experimenting with an electronics project kit as a kid. Out of the blue, my youngest son (7yrs) asked me about electronic circuits and these project kits. So after researching products here and elsewhere online, I decided to surprise him with this Snap Circuits project kit on his birthday.
QUALITY and CONSTRUCTION:
The kit consists of a number of electronic components embedded in “Snap Circuit” modules. Even though most of the connectors are solid bridges used to make connections between components, there are a few wire connectors. All the connectors and modules connect via a male/female snap.
The base project board is made of plastic and is used to align the components when constructing the circuits.
FUNCTIONALITY and IMPRESSIONS
The project manual is an excellent work book for learning about electronic components and circuits. My son loves to run through each project. I also love to work with him on these projects and feel that they explain the properties and functionality of each component and project at a level that he can understand.
The Projects are interesting and build upon the previous to allow you child to understand basic concepts and to use them as “tools” to eventually create their own circuits bases on what they have learned.
PROS:
Quality components
“Snap” method of connecting circuits is durable and forgiving with young children.
Very detailed, yet easy to follow project book where each projects builds upon the previous.
CONS:
My son now wants me to buy him all the Snap Circuits Kits available.

This is our second snap circuit set. I bought it as a surprise for the children as mcc to my surprise they worked very swiftly through the first, much bigger set.Djilly L.Excellent purchase - recommended
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2020
They got very excited by this set as it includes far more intricate elements and electric functionalities. The children, aged 6 and 9, couldn’t wait and have already progressed much with this set.
I’m even more surprised by the enthusiasm the youngest one displays. They like to work through the Snap Circuit booklet together. But he typically can’t wait for his older sister to join/help and just starts and completes most these projects himself - there might be some genetic stuff at work here as there are family members that are highly skilled with electronics. It just amazes me because as I’m an electronic ignoramus, I can barely replace batteries or change a light bulb.
These sets are simply marvellous in my view and give children a very good understanding of electronics. Each set offers an enormous range of possibilities and the broader Snap-circuit line makes them versatile and modular. The set comes very well presented in a box that is great for overly storage. And the whole makes a perfect educational gift.
The set comes with a range of colourful elements that exhibit different functions. The box includes clear, straightforward coloured instructions. Younger children from the age of 5 should be able to complete the easiest tasks. So far the durability and quality of these sets his very good. Haven’t encountered any broken electronics parts.
It’s great that this sets manages to engage children for several hours with a challenging, highly educational activity and of the iPad or Playstation for a while.
Our purchase is very timely as well as it turns our youngest just learned about some basic electronics at school.
This set will let them experiment for years.
As such these sets are very good value for money.
