My 8yr old son loves this! Keeps him busy for ages and is a fun interactive way of learning about circuits too.
My son quickly bwcame familiar with building circuts. They have good set of projects/circuts to explore. I would totally recomend for chidren who are interested in science.
Boyy th h my granddaughter s love it play for hours
My grandson ( 6 ) was absolutely delighted with this. He spends hours playing with i
Brought it to help my daughter as she’s learning cicuits in science at school. It’s a fabulous kit. I brought the 300 version. It’s great value for money. The components are good and robust. The instructions are clear and easy to follow even for my 9 year old daughter on her own now we’ve been through the basics.
The only down side, is I would like to see more about how and why the components work in each experiment, but that’s all.
Otherwise it’s a great little buy, that keeps us both occupied for hours.
A lot of bits to assemble to make quirky items light light sensor or lie detector. Full instructions given. Ideal for the budding electronic engineer. Even the adults couldn’t resist joining in.
The item met all the requirements for our grandson and he was taken with the item that he did not want to do anything else. Will progress to the next level for him.
highly recommend for budding engineers and those interested in science
My 7 year old and I enjoyed all the projects in this kit. Great fun and educational at the same time. The fan blade broke in it but easily found a replacement online.
My daughter aged 10 years and her cousin aged 12 years, had endless fun putting this circuit together and changing the variations on the circuits. A brilliant toy.
I bought this as a Christmas present for my science loving 8 year old daughter. She (and her dad!) have had so much fun building the circuits. The booklet is easy to follow with clear diagrams, although my daughter prefers experimenting with her own creations.
Amazing little kit. Potential for some pieces to be snapped by over excited hands but most are very sturdy. Easy to use and the step by step projects are an easy guide into learning about circuits.
Definitely good for the money!
I bought this as an additional set for work. The children (5-12yrs) love experimenting with the kit, following instructions and making their own circuits.
The set is easy to use, the instructions are easy to follow and it brings hours of enjoyment, excitement and discovery to our children’s learning.
This set (the 750+ one) arrived six weeks ago and since then my five year old son has played with it at least six days a week for hours at a time. It is the best value for money toy I’ve ever bought. Initially I was getting a bit precious about the components and tried to encourage him to be careful to not short the batteries or overload components. Fortunately I caught myself in time and left him to it. It would have completely defeated the object if I made him too scared to play with it for fear of breaking it. So some pieces have broken but it’s a small price to pay when weighed against the hours of learning and what can honestly be described as the pure joy he has received from it. (And I can always buy him another when he’s a couple of years older.) He’s started teaching his mum the names of components and what they do. He’s memorised how to make the FM radio circuit. It took him a while to get into it because he has an innate fear of getting stuff ‘wrong’ but now he sees it as a toy (albeit a special one) he’s in his element. Thank you Elenco.
Dad is an electrician so I thought she’d enjoy this. She likes the easy to follow directions in the book and although she’s not that into ready why and how things are happening I am hoping she might over time! Really enjoyable to use though and good for all levels Really as could create their own circuits as well as the ones shown. Also great that there are extension packs. Really pleased with this gift as educational and fun. It could have gone either way but she loved it!

Grand kids love this and have had a great time experimenting with it.
This set is brilliant and I really enjoy spending time doing this with my son some of the diagrams are a bit hard for my son to follow without my help but most of it he can do alone if he wants to we really enjoyed putting different circumstances together and watching them work some of them are a bit tedious or just different variations of things but overall very happy with this se
Not for the very young. Need to be at an age where they follow instructions. This is not Lego. Guidance required if using with the young.
My 6 year old daughter loves this we sent most of Christmas day doing different projects. She said it was her favourite gift. Its educational and very well set up to teach step by step without being to difficult can’t fault it.
We bought this for my nearly 6 year old (and very bright) nephew – he absolutely loves it. We would definitely recommend it.
The set is easy to use and seems like it is build to last. Great for having fun whilst learning about basic electronics.
My kids enjoy this a lot. Screen time is reduced considerably.
Great toy for the 7 year old. He spent hours making alarms and flying discs.
This is the second time I have bought this. The first one for my eldest grandson has been used a lot. That is why I have bought it for another grandson. It has add on sets too which give it even more enjoyment.

I’m a (retired) pro developer & rate this little kit very highly for getting (grand)kids interested in electronics.
It all snaps together in a simple but reliable way. It holds their interest & focus.
The instructions are great – very easy to read & the examples they give all work.
Lots of things to try out with clear concise diagrams.

My sons love it. After a long time I have seen them play with a toy because most of the time they play video games or are on the iPad.
This is such a wonderful product! I was sceptical from the pixilated product image, but honestly, what arrived was next level. An easy popper system, clip circuit set, with plenty of items to choose from, and a booklet detailing loads of different circuits to build. The whole set is great quality and really sturdy. This makes science so accessible for kids and my 6yo loves it!

Bought as a christmas present for nieces, 5 and 8, broke it down into an advent calendar so they got different pieces different days ensuring they had enough pieces to make a different circuit each week. They enjoyed seeing how it worked. Gave the booklet to the parents so they had to try and work it out first without the instructions. Ever the teacher!
Cannot comment about durability as haven’t managed to see it since i gave it to them due to covid! Seemed quite robust when i was playing with it. 8 year old had no problem with it but had to help her younger sibling.
Wish i had bought the bigger set.

Love it. Well made. Booklet with circuits clear and concise. If you have children and you are looking for something engaging and fun. I would recommend this product.
Extremely well made. contains a lot of components. my boys age 10 and 12 find this very engaging would recommend.
Brought as a present for a budding engineer. She loves playing and creating her own circuits with it.
This is a great starter kit, it’s really well made and the parts are really durable.
The only thing I am slightly critical of is that most of the 100 projects repeat themselves, for example, you might get a project where the fan spins and then another project might be where the fan spins a bit slower. I get the education value of resistance but the kids arn’t necessarily going to find that engaging. All in all I’m pleased with it and there are a few interesting projects.
Excellent product that my 8 year old and her 73 year old Grandad have enjoyed doing together.
I bought this for my Nephew for his birthday, he’s 8 so naturally loves to ‘build things’ although, is usually precious about leaving Lego models ‘complete’ which is starting to clutter the house. I really wanted to support his interest of why things work, as opposed to how things work… so this was a no-brainer.
Aside from the amount of projects this can create and the ability to buy add-ons to make more complicated circuitry, this is really beginning to give him an understanding of the basics of electronics, in a hands on way that just doesn’t seem to be covered in school at his age. Although he didn’t really know what it was to begin with as it comes in a rather unassuming box, come Christmas, we were discussing resistors, switches and batteries. Really fantastic, fun and educational product.
Great quality. My son aged 7 loves it and had learned lots about circuits.

6 year old son plays with this all day every day! Best money I’ve spe
Excellent STEM toy. Good quality and well worth the money. Highly recommend
This is a great product. Much better than the one I had when I was a kid. Snap Circuits makes it less fiddly to construct the circuits and also includes snap wires to help it still resemble home electronics.
Worked well for almost exactly 9 months before it failed. Not worth the landfill.
Eight year old loves this gift and been busy with it all christmas morning
Brilliant toy for inquisitive kids and parent supervised fun for preschoolers.
Gifted one set to my brother, an adult, for his kids and he spent some hours building projects alone first enjoying it immensely.

This is a brilliant kit! Well worth the money. It was a present for my son’s 5th birthday and the images in the instructions have helped him to build the circuits independently. We did a couple with him to start with but now he’s off making his own. He absolutely loves it. All of the components are perfectly sized for small hands and are nowhere near as fiddly as the old style circuits. Would definitely recommend for young, inquisitive children.

This will keep a young lad well entertained. Simple to use and requires some thought & learning.
I love these. I now own 3.
Perfect for teaching my kids electronics.
Mine are ages 5 and 6 and find them amazing! It’s very educational and creative
Enjoyable educational toy. Grandson has played with this for a few hours at a time but needs a little help with understanding the instructions as it is written for someone perhaps a little older.

A robust, well documented, colourful and engaging set with over 80 parts. Although marketed for children primarily, it is a voyage of discovery for former physics phobics of all ages.
Bought it for my grandson who loves taking things apart to see how they work,he was over the moon with it has not put it down. It is well made and really good at making learning fun would deffo recomend
Excellent kit for my ten year old son. Really interesting and educational. Kids enjoy it so much and are so amazed that they hardly realise they are learning. Parts are of very high quality and I’ll be sure to buy again from this brand.
Another thing that is better now than it was when I was a kid. This is an outstanding idea that makes building the circuits a breeze so you can focus on the learning.
One point lost because 1) too much emphasis on noise-producing circuits and 2) the whistle chip is not sensitive enough for work properly in some examples.

Great set for child interested in electronics. Easy to use, lots of different things to do in it. Each section has the correct symbol on, so can help with more advanced electronics revision as well as for young children.
Bought for my 8 year old as a Christmas gift and it’s been a hit.
Seems safe and sturdy as well, so I can see it being used again and again.

My six year old grandson took to it very quickly and enjoyed the challenge of making the circuits come to life!
Fantastic quality. Our 8 year old is over the moon with this.
She’s been asking for this for months so we included it at Christmas. Instructions are really clear so even if you don’t understand electronics, you’ll be able to help them learn. She’s really taken to it and is learning well as she goes with a target to upgrade to breadboard to make circuits just like daddy 🙂

This is a great product. Gets my kids off technology, and learning something useful whilst having fun.
The book is good, helps them to understand what they are doing and what they are learning. Brilliant toy.
Great learning toy for children to experiment on their own and with guidance. Very sturdy design with no small/fiddly bits to loose/break.
I am an electronics engineer by trade and bought this for my daughter who absolutely loves it. She’s only young at the moment and uses the simpler projects, but there’s plenty for her to do and learn as she gets older.

I purchased Snap Circuits for my Grandson. He has thoroughly enjoyed making numerous circuits and it has given hours of educational playtime.
A great product that makes learning fun.
Brilliant toy, fun and knowledgeable. My son spend hours in it. It’s a best present ever.
Nice toy for older kids.My 8 and 6 years old boys quite like it. It’s now their favourite of all toys from Santa. The music part could be better though.
I had something a bit like this when I was a kid – that was over 50 years ago! The kt I had was made by Philips and was much more fiddly to use as the components were connected into the circuits using tiny spring clips and you needed to use wire strippers. This is much easier to use as the components are mounted on plugs which locate into a board. Bought this for one of my nephews for Christmas. He hasn’t actually received it yet, but I’m anticipating most of the family will enjoy building electronic gadgets with it.

This is a present for my grandson bought because he liked the one I bought for his cousin last year.
The first one is still being played with and has proved very popular.
The price was fantastic as I got the 700 series set at for price of the 500 series set. This is a Xmas present for my 6 year old so I will update the review in due course.
I purchased this for my 7 year old boy who absolutely loves everything technical. It’s an amazing tool for learning about electronics/electrical circuits.
Bought as an Xmas present for my grandson. He used one at a museum we took him to and was absolutely fascinated by it. Very well made and easy to use with easy to follow instructions.
Although this product is for a Christmas present for my Grandson I did look at it and found it very easy to use and also educational.
This kit is excellent, it is very good quality and the content to create and learn in each circuit is just fantastic. I bought this kit to play with my 6 year old daughter and she is over the moon with it. I love electronics also so it’s is a win-win. I was very surprised with all the theory and good explanations in all the books, the snap-on idea is great and you can easily create and modify the circuits, my daughter is able to do then on her own, so it is very easy to put them together.
Overall very please with the purchase, it is a bit pricey but it is worth it, this kit will last for years and I am glad I can spend some quality teaching and learning time with my daughter while we play.
Purchased for my 5 year old daughter, we love playing learning togethe

We love the kit, granddaughter has just started using it and the Motor Fan 6SCM1 6SCM1F has stopped working; can you replace this piece? Happy to pay.
The Snap Circuits kit is durable and easy to use, My boys have really enjoyed creating the experiment and have asked for add on sets only downside is the instructions don’t offer much context.
Fantastic product. Very easy to make the circuits by snapping components together onto the board. Instructions are easy to follow, but do range in complexity.
Just make sure that the components are fitted together properly, otherwise you then have to find the “fault” if it doesn’t work.

Brilliant product, my son adores it. I want to buy some more extensions to it so that it becomes even more exciting.
Bought as a birthday present for my grandchild who loves electronic things. Snaps together well, easy to use with comprehensive instructions.
I bought this for my sons Christmas so it has yet to be opened but box looks great and arrived the next day.
