When I was in the 5th grade, my parents gave me a Heathkit radio to assemble as a Christmas present. That led to additional interest in electronics, a degree in Electrical Engineering and a career in computer design. Our grandson is continually questioning how all things work, so this seemed like an ideal present for his 5th birthday. He is just starting to read, so he is unable to perform the experiments alone, but it is an exceptional opportunity for grandparent-grandson interaction and bonding.
I am impressed by all aspects of this item, and give it enthusiastic endorsement.
The booklet lists 78 experiments, each with very clear assembly and operation instructions. A very pleasant surprise is the "Educational Corner", which turns each experiment experience into a discussion on diverse topics electicity, lightning, magnetism and static electicity.
The box claims that the experiments are appropriate for ages 8-108. I can attest that with adult supervision, the experiments hold the rapt attention of children of ages 5, 3 and 1. The 5 year old retains the information we discuss and talks about the details on subsequent use. The 3 year old may not retain the information we discuss, but he understands and contributes to the experiment assembly. The 1 year old sits patiently and then holds out her finger to activate the switches for the experiment, and giggles with every flying saucer launch or light activation.

Snaptricity is not the first Elenco Snap Circuit I have purchased for my grandson. He can do it all himself........these are fabulous. Great educational value; very sturdy....and so engaging for the budding engineer! Perfect for ages starting at 7 or 8..........altho younger siblings are fascinated to watch. Elenco is a responsive and responsible company....when a part is lost, they send it very fast.....they have replaced lost directions as well as parts!
