Guide Review - Snap Circuits Jr.

Elenco's Snap Circuits Jr. Kit makes learning all about electronics fun. The kit uses snap-together building blocks to build electrical and electronic circuits. Each block has a function: there are switch blocks, lamp blocks, battery blocks, wire blocks of different lengths, etc. The blocks are color-coded and numbered so they are easily identified. The instruction book contains 101 projects that are simple to build and understand. Build exciting projects such as a Periodic Doorbell, Photo Sensor Police Siren, Flashing Laser Light with Sound, Dual Speed Fan, and more! After learning the concepts introduced in the instructions, you can create your own circuits. (for ages 8 to 108)
