Let your child have endless fun learning to build circuits with these colorful electronic Snap Circuits. Each one features more than 60 parts that easily snap together. The Snap Circuits Classic can be used to make interesting circuits, encouraging educational play that teaches your future engineer about electricity. All of the parts have colored graphics that represent their real electronic names and symbols. This educational toy comes with a complete instruction manual and project guide that helps you to guide your child through exploring over 300 experiments. Some of the projects include making circuits for doorbells, radios, alarms, flash lights, laser light, street lamps, a lie detector and a fan Modulator. This kids’ Snap Circuits toy runs on four AA batteries that are sold separately. It is ideal for children age 8 years and older. Snap Circuits Classic comes with over 60 parts to create 305 different electronic projects. The parts, which include snap wires, a slide switch, a resistor, a microphone, and capacitors, snap together easily onto the included plastic grid-no soldering required. Each part is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These parts combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices. With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits run the everyday devices that they’re familiar with. They’ll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following instructions. The project manuals include large color illustrations and simple directions for each project. the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids can build on their skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons start out with a simple electric light and switch project that demonstrates how electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put together a fire fan symphony, a water-detection alarm, a delayed-action fan, and more. Once children have mastered several of the techniques introduced in this kit, They can use the parts to experiment and create their own customized circuits and electronic devices. Snap Circuits SC-300 requires four AA batteries, which are not included. What’s in the box: plastic snap-grid, 61 electrical parts, and 1 Project manual containing projects 1-150. Projects 151-305 available as download.

Perfect product introduce electronic and circuits
Growing up, I always had a liking for electronic circuits (the registers, capacitors, LED’s, IC etc). I wanted to introduce the “the world of electronics to my son (9 year old).I am glad that we got him the Snap Circuits SC-300. The Snap Circuits SC-300 has these snap-buttons, which makes it very easy to build a circuit and most importantly work.My son was very excited to work on the basic circuits at first and was even happier when each of these circuits worked according to the specifications. Slowly he has graduated towards more complex projects (included with the Snap Circuits SC-300 kit). I can see him pondering over the circuits to build something new on his own. He is slowly grasping the electronic vocabulary and started understanding the electronic components. There is this cool project (according to my son) to build an AM radio. I haven’t seen my son so excited when he build an AM radio and picked up a radio station.These are some of the things I liked about the product.1. Excellent quality – Every component worked out of the box. This I feel is very important if you want your child to be interested in a new hobby.2. Excellent Manual – Comes with two manuals. These manuals are well -written and are very easy to follow and more importantly they work as specified.3. Excellent design – it comes with a board (I am calling it a snap board). The board is divided into a grid , this helps the kids to follow the manual instructions and complete a project(on their own),4. Very High educational value – teaching a concept of a variable capacitor, or a RF coil is very difficult, but this product makes it a little easier.5. Very good projects included in the product – many of the projects are entertaining and fun to build.6. Value of money – if you kids gets interested in electronics.7. Unique product – I did research a few products before buying Snap Circuits SC-300. I could not find a better product.I am giving 5 starts for the Snap Circuits SC-300 for the making it easy, fun and educational. The product has a very good quality. It would be nice if we had a multi-meter along with the product.I would highly recommend this product to anybody interested in electronics.

Fantastic kit! Engineer and Father Approved!
My 9-year old son and 7-year old daughter love this thing, heck, I love this thing!The after-school care that my kids go to has the less expensive model (the SC-300) and the kids were always playing with this, so when Christmas 2014 rolled around, I knew exactly what to get my kids. Theyâve had 7 months to play and build and imaginate (yup, thatâs a new word) with this kit and theyâve absolutely loved it. I remember as a kid having a similar electronics kit that I spent much of my youth playing with, and I think I was just as excited to get this as my kids were. Itâs a little pricey, but after seeing how much all the kids at after-school care played with itâand being able to view it in personâI knew that it was worth it.The kit is very well laid out and there are plastic blow-molded trays that hold all the pieces together. This makes it very easy to tell if youâre missing any pieces. There a 5 books of designs chock full of things for the kids to build and the instructions are very easy to understand and all the electronic components are clearly marked.One of the coolest things about this kit is it comes with hardware (a cable) that connects to your PC or laptop via the microphone port that turns your computer into an oscilloscope! Itâs basic stuff, but it works very well I and really takes this kit to a whole new level. Itâs really educational being able to show the kids voltages and currents and waveforms on the computer screen. It pulls together nicely the ability for the kids to physically see whatâs happening (motors turning, LEDs flashing), and see why itâs happening (voltages/waveforms) on the oscilloscope.Now, you know youâve got something good when the kids start taking apart old toys (anything with a motor in it) and start adding on to this kit with pieces of wire (from the same cannibalized toy). Real MacGyver stuff going on here! The kids have even joined forces and connected their kit with friendâs kitsâjust make sure you have all your parts before the kids leave!Iâve read some other reviews that are little hard on this kit and that it doesnât really teach kids about electronicsâthat this kit it to âcartoonyâ and more of a puzzle than anything. Is this kit fun? You betcha. Is there learning and teaching happening? Absolutely. Are my kids going to learn about Maxwellâs equation, Lorentzâs law, Gaussâ law? Probably not. Iâm an electrical engineer and I can see the fun and educational aspects that this kit provides. If your kids outgrow this and want something more advanced, than by all means get one of the more technical kits that are available. When you were teaching your kids to read, you didnât start with Tolstoy, did you?This is a fantabulous kit for kids and Iâm very happy I purchased it. Itâs well built, well thought out, and is definitely one of those toys that your children one day will blow the dust off the box and tell their children, âLook at this toy I had when I was your age!â

This kit is fantastic for fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, My child loves experimenting with the different projects, and itâs incredible to see how much theyâre learning while having fun.The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the snap-together pieces make building circuits both simple and engaging. Itâs a perfect introduction to electronics for young learners, and I highly recommend it to parents looking for an educational gift that kids will actually enjoy!

It is so much better than your average throw-away toy. Great at teaching circuitry while having fun. My son loves it!

Un buen regalo.
Sunil Kumar –
This is amazing but if you buy the smaller versions, it will get boring too quick. This has the possibility of many engaging projects, even a FM radio. My 8 year old enjoys creating many projects with it and also learns what no to do by reading the books to avoid short circuits. The instruction books are very well made. Good job Elenco 🙂
