Customer Reviews
Great entry level robotics kit. I bought this for my 15 year old nephew for Christmas. He built it in a couple of hours with some help. It took a bit of troubleshooting since he (we) ignored the errata sheet at first. Well, that's part of the fun. He went on to experiment with it. It comes with full schematics and theory of operation for someone to learn beyond the simple assembly and emperical experimentation.

GREAT FOR LEARNING THE BASICS OF ELECTRICITY/ELECTRONICS!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR KIDS

I bought the 75-in-One Project Lab for my 11 yr. old boy for Christmas. He could not wait to sit down with me and start learning how to build the electronic projects. When we did sit down and start learning about the kit, his interest grew even more and he really enjoys building the projects. This is an excellent tool for teaching the basics of Electricity/Electronics. I would recommend that parents start out by making sure to have your child read the book from the beginning and make sure that he/she understands the basics before starting on the projects.

Fun and varied, but lacking in educational quality

The 75 projects in this lab are interesting and many customers will enjoy putting them together. It is a worthwhile item for use as a toy, but don't expect a novice to gain any relatively deep understanding of circuitry.

The projects are delivered in "cookbook" fashion, i.e. this-connects-to-that-connects-to-the-other. Reasons for why a circuit should be set up this way are minimal. Sometimes it will say something like "the transistor and capacitor provide the signal, while the other capacitor and resistor control the frequency." Why we should use one capacitor over another is not addressed.

The manual also attempts to teach the reader how to read the schematics, but this instruction is also lacking.

Overall, though, this is an enjoyable kit, and worth the price in terms of how much there is to do. Someone looking for something more educational, though, might look elsewhere.

sparks the imagination

This thing is fantastic. It has 75 possible experiments that can be done without help if you stay within the age group recommended. Kids can use the included wires to make bells, buzzers, lights, sirens, and more. It's all about following the diagram and connecting the included wires to the terminals. That's all there is too it. It travels well too for hours and I mean hours of fun in the car. The parts are all connected to the board so there's nothing to fall out. You can buy extra wire anywhere. This "toy" is a great value.

Great for the budding engineer

My son has the original snap circuit unit. He bought this as an add-on. It is really educational and so fun. He can record any sound from his voice to our cats meow. He finds it really hilarious. When friends come over they want to make up new combinations too. My son is 10 and I can see him playing with this for years! BUY IT!

Happy kids!

I bought this for my 8 year old nephew and he LOVED it! I have since added other Snap Circuit kits to his collection, and these are things he uses over and over. He and his Dad have used them with their Scout troop, big hit there as well. I was so impressed that I added the Snap Circuit line as a suggestion for toys on a Christmas list for a charity I work with, and many members of the group purchased them for an orphanage in Africa where there are many older kids. They were delivered at Christmas and our representatives showed the workers how to use them. I was thrilled recently to receive a video of the kids (and the adult workers there!) just having a ball with them! The huge smiles, laughter and eyes wide with wonder were amazing to watch! One of their favorites is the Snap Circuits Musical Recorder, they received several, and the kids fight over this one! They provide a very unique learning experience for the kids there who otherwise would not have a chance to see how these kinds of things work. Very, very highly recommended!

Great kit ... Well Done... Very Educational

The Electronic Playground reminds me very much of the type of electronics kit I had when I was young. I bought this for my son who is 6. While the instructions and details were a little above his head the kit was not. The projects are very straight forward and the the wiring guides are as easy as "connect the dots" (really!). My only minor complaint is that the frame is a bit flimsier (paper and plastic)then I would like.

My son and I did two projects in about 2 hours (two of the smaller ones) and I was able to use the kit to make some customizations (leverage the variable resistor add a light to the electronic buzzer etc.) and show him how circuits/components can be expanded and improved.

But beyond the ease of use the instruction booklet is really quite an excellent resource on basic electronics. For an older child the kit could/should provide a pretty good grounding (pardon the pun). The combination of straight forward instructions (so you get get things to work) and well written explanations (so you know why they work) is great.

I really can't wait to do more projects with my son or ....maybe I'll just borrow it at night and do them myself.

The perfect way to start learning electronics!

This IS the best educational toy I have ever seen! With all the bells and whistles you could possibly want, it's the perfect way to start your kid learning electronics. I would suggest being at least 11 years old though because the going can get a little tough for younger kids after the 10th of 50 experiments! The only problem is you might not want to put it on something unstable because it is a little delicate. Otherwise enjoy a nice gift for someone just starting electronics!
