  • Reviewed as a gift for 4 year old
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
First, yes I know this set says it's for ages 8-108. However, my 4-year old is OBSESSED with electronics and kept trying to play with my arduino stuff. This seemed like a safer option, so I purchased it for them and will be reviewing this from that perspective, should you have a similarly ambitious preschooler that is no longer satisfied with Code-a-pillar. Pros: * Physical form - this is perfect for little hands. Check out my photo of the resistor, with a regular size coffee mug for scale. The snaps can be a little "sticky" which sometimes presents a challenge but not a biggie. My kid definitely needed my help getting pieces apart sometimes, but putting pieces on was pretty easy for them. * Quick-win projects - being able to light up a light or make a fan go with relatively low effort was a big plus. * Modular - love that we can get more of these kits and combine them. There's also a pretty active community creating new projects, so google "snap circuit builds" if you run out of projects and want to see some more cool stuff you can do. Cons: * Why are so many of these projects "war" and "bombing" and "battle"? This was honestly the biggest turn-off of this kit for me. Like can we just not? Can we just build some cool stuff? * Instructions are definitely for bigger kids. See my photos - this is not a fault of the product. They're clear, and good illustrations, but my kid isn't yet advanced enough to really understand the differences between all the numbers in the image - so they didn't really get that there's an order of operations. With me helping they got it, but particularly for the more complex projects, I basically had to build it -- which I had expected, but hopefully the images here will give you an idea of what you are dealing with so you can decide if you're up for it. * Mostly loud sounds and lights. This was my own fault for not looking more closely at what was in this set, so this might be a *pro* for you. For my loud-noise-hating kid, this was a bit of a con as they really wanted more projects involving motion. * A lot of projects with subtle differences - I hesitate to call this a con because I think it's super cool that they show things like say, what an AND entails vs an OR, but the distinctions are too subtle for my kid to care. That said when kiddo gets a little older I suspect this set will get some new life as they begin to realize what these other projects are teaching. All in all I still give this 5 stars because it's a great product for getting kids into electronics and we'll definitely get a lot of life out of this. And, let's be real, I am enjoying it too. ... show more

What a hit! It was a birthday present for our 10 year old granddaughter. She loved it and never stopped doing the various projects. The manual that came with the set was very clear and well illustrated. She was able to read the directions herself and complete the projects without any adult help. A perfect present for a curious child. ... show more

  • Hours of fun!
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My 5 year old son doesn't focus on anything he's not interested in. We had to buy this one because he figured out all of the connections on the one for his age group. This kit has not only kept his attention for over a month, he will play with it for hours a day. The only thing is that the alarms and space noises get a bit on my nerves haha. The fact that he is learning while playing with this toy is enough to deal with the extra noises though 😆 I'm really glad he has found something to keep his interest and is fairly easy for him to figure out. The combinations alone are pretty neat. It's fun to sit and learn with him as he goes. My friend actually purchased one as well for her dad! ... show more
