BugsMama Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 and my husband has not stopped playing with it long enough to let the kid have a go at it. He even took the set into the bedroom. I don't think Bug will get his hands on it any time soon. This is a military man who uses far cooler stuff than this daily.... and is still going on two hours of snap circuits "play time" I was sure I was going to hear "Just one more before bed!" from someone, but who would have thought it would be from hubby!

Arcadia Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Which set did you get? We have the SC-300 and my boys are eyeing the SC-750R and the SCG-125 for their birthdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 :lol: We're planning on getting that for Christmas over here. I got to play a bit with circuits for 1 week in 6th grade so I'm looking forward to playing with it, too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kagmypts Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I got this for my DS last Christmas for $15.00. He really likes it, and it is a great starter set! http://www.amazon.com/Elenco-SC-100-Snap-Circuits-Jr/dp/B00008BFZH/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348537415&sr=8-1&keywords=snap+circuit+100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Now boys, you have to share! :lol: (I have to say, it is one cool 'toy.' I'm completely unengineerish and bought a set for my then-6yo dd. Couldn't resist.) Had a lot of fun at a recent attempt at a LEGO league class I'd signed 7yo up for at a co-op. When we joined the 5 boys ages 7-10 crowded around the table and small collection of LEGOs, one of them said, "You're in the LEGO class?" I let it slide, but since there were so few LEGOs and no real class leadership, I said to DD in their hearing, "We should bring your Snapcircuits electronics kit next week and we can all put something together." Another boy pipes up, "YOU have an electronics set?!":confused: I didn't have to say anything, because DD with 'tude and emphasis replies, "yes, I do!" :lol: Bwah-ha-ha. It's scary how early gender discrimination begins, but then I realized she might as well start learning how to handle it now if she's going to be the prettiest student in her class at MIT.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I want to get these for my sons too. What is the difference between the snap curuits and the ones that say student training kit? They come with colorful booklets that explain how electricity works in ways that are tied to the projects. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a soldering kit, breadbox and an Arduino if she is interested. I repaired plenty of my parents electronics gadgets as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
