nature girl Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 For anyone interested, Snap Circuits Extreme is a Prime Day deal. I've already bought a boxed set of Lemony Snickets today... And she already has the Motion Snap Circuits Set, which she enjoys but only plays with once a week or so... Ridiculous, right? I should wait till she's older?

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 You could get it now but I wouldn't give it to her until she's older. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 She can use most of the parts now if she loves electronics. 6 isn't too young as the snap circuits parts are child friendly. Let her just mess with the parts, at most she blow some bulbs which are cheap to replace from RadioShack or any hobby shop. My kids outgrew snap circuits around 8 and went on to actual components on a breadboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If she is interested I say get them. They are VERY child friendly. Let her play with them with you. lots of cool things to do and 6 is not too young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nope. DD just turned 6 last week, and I just now bought that set and the power cord. We will probably do it together at first. We had checked out a normal size set from the library about a year and a half ago. That was a hit when we did it together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nature girl Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Okay, looks like I've started Christmas shopping super early this year... I hope she'll actually learn more from this, there are a few new components in this set that I'm excited about. Prime is not good for my budget! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Dd4 and Dd5 love ours, especially dd5. They play with them several times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 6 isn't too young. At 9 my DS has kind of outgrown them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I actually bought that Snap Circuits kit for DD when she was 4. I didn't want to buy the individual kits, having the storage case is *really* nice, and I knew she could grow into them. We did them together at 4. Now that she is 6, she can use the instruction book independentlily and plays more with putting together her own circuits. So, no, not crazy.
