Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My kids (ages 6 and 8) had a lot of fun with this kit. It definitely requires some parental involvement if you want to do all the experiments, but there are some that are easy (like the "energy stick" that you just have to hold at two points to turn on--it flashes when you complete a circuit just by holding it at both ends)... and that my kids still play with regularly a couple of weeks after first doing the experiments. There is a note saying the battery can't be replaced whenever it eventually wears out, but I'm actually happy to see this has held their interest for so long after we first opened it.

I thought the instructions were easy to follow and provide links to youtube video's to provide you with more information. For the price I think this makes a great gift for any 8 10 year old!
Best Deals for Be Amazing Toys Wired Science Experiment Kits
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The bad thing is that what is included in the box is very cheaply made and not very durable. Do not expect it to last very long. However on sets priced over $20 I have had that same complaint along with half the time the stuff not working at all... so... in this instance I think maybe it's fair to say that this is priced where it should be for the quality of materials inside.That being said, the "energy stick" included that allows you to make a circuit is pretty cool and it works right of of the box for those that like instant gratification. The whole box really hinges around this one piece of "equipment" but it is a useful tool to see what can and cannot complete a circuit. So for that I am giving this high marks. Other box experiment sets that go for $20-$40 have equally cheap (and sparse) parts but you have to really work to get any thing done and the directions are always hard to understand. With this set you are pretty much ready to start experimenting right away. This I think will help keep kids interested and not frustrated. Certainly I liked the experience.
So I gave it high marks for the ease of use and affordability. You just have to keep in mind this is not going to be durable. With heavy use I can't seeing it last beyond a month, hopefully I am wrong on that! But for under $20 I think it's worth it. More educational than a video game anyway!
Honest reviews on Be Amazing Toys Wired Science Experiment Kits
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This kit is a fun and safe way for young children to learn and experiment with electricity. Depending on the age, children may find all or only some of the activities interesting. However, all the activities are engaging and will require adult participation. Of all the activities "throwies" was the most popular. It was a lot of fun learning the activities with my children and served as a catalyzing spark for future activities and possible career tracks.I highly recommend this product for parents of children ages 5-6 and up.
