Rating: 5Great jumpin-off point! by By A customer I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 7 year old. The Snap Circuits set is still in its box as of January 4th, but we've blown through half of the projects on this kit. This one seems more grown up and less like a toy. It may be the same one, or is very similar to the kit I used to purchase for all of my siblings and cousins when they turned 8 or so. These never fail to be the "favorite present s/he received this year". I will definitely continue purchasing these for the kids in my life. It makes kids feel like they are capable of accomplishing something real and they get to work with REAL (adult) electronic components without the risk of losing them all over the house. Most of the kids I have given these kits to go on to do other electronic projects and mine is already hoping for a more advanced playground.That being said, the wires are a bit flimsy. They are coated in a nice thick plastic that does afford them some stability and they are fine if your kid is going to rush through the kit as mine has. But the metal wire part bends easily and is a bit difficult to stick into the springs. If your child will be using this for a long time or has questionable fine motor skills/little patience, I suggest investing in a spool of thin copper wire that you can cut to length yourself and strip the ends. You can buy wire snippers/strippers at the dollar store if you don't own a pair and while you are there pick up a little tackle box or even a Tupperware style container to hold all the wires. They come in a cheap ziplock style bag.Some people have complained that the playground is made of cardboard: this teaches kids to be careful with their electronics and also enables them to take apart the playground if they want to see exactly how it functions. In fact: My only complaint is that there is no way to see how the components are connected to the springs without deconstructing the playground.The book is sufficient for a VERY basic introduction to the way circuits and electric currents operate, but your kid will need and want more info. There are some fun books out there kids might enjoy if they aren't into dry manuals including, but not limited to: The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip, and Charged Up: The Story of Electricity by Jacqui Bailey. YouTube also has some "cool" videos and some not so "cool" ones that can teach kids a bit of the basic physics etc. Watch with your kids though, YouTube is a scary place.

Rating: 1Missing in action by By A customer Kind of hard to use it without all the parts
Rating: 1Trash by By A customer Did not work and the bottom and you is made of paper. It’s a complete waste of money. Literally trash straight out the box.
Rating: 3It’s made of cardboard and not plastic by By A customer I like the idea of the product but I am bummed and surprised it’s cardboard.
