Toys and Games Reviews of Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100
Customer Review: Snap Circuits are a GREAT GIFT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend snap circuits! I use them in my science classroom and wrote about them for technorati.com See the article:
Holiday Gifts: Are Educational Toys Always Geeky?
In Lemony Snicket's, The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, a Christmas story, we are told, "It is very frustrating not to be understood in this world. If you say one thing and keep being told that you mean something else, it can make you want to scream. But somewhere in the world there is a place for all of us, whether you are an electric form of decoration, peppermint-scented sweet, a source of timber, or a potato pancake." And somewhere in the world, kids can get educational toys and not hate you for it!
With Chanukah just around the corner and then Christmas, I thought parents might want to know a few of my favorite science toys that are great gifts and will be your child's favorite thing. They might even say THANK YOU!
Check out Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 from Elenco available at Amazon.com for $23.20. I have used these circuits in several classrooms over my thirteen years of teaching. Students from 2nd grade through 6th grade love these circuits. After 3 to 4 class times of using them, they always ask can't we do it again!
Another great gift that won't make you cringe every time your child asks for more screen time is Zoombinis. This game teaches logical reasoning and at $7.04 on Amazon.com it is a real steal! For this game, you create a tribe of Zoombinis. They are each slightly different they have different eyes, hair, glasses. Through reasoning and figuring out who can cross the bridge or ski down which slope, you and your child will be doing logical reasoning and having fun!
I have used the Zoombinis with children from Kindergarten to Third Grade, but to be honest I love it also! It really is fun to move the Zoombinis along on their journey.
I would also recommend you pick some gifts that cost you nothing in money. Give your child a coupon for a night to read with you. Create a ritual of reading and sharing books.
Since your child loves to be online, find some sites you can enjoy together. Check out this site for finding simple machines that I use in class with second grade, Simple machines.
I also highly recommend putting Arnold back together again. I use this site with my Kindergarten and Fifth Grade classes when we study the human body. My nephew who is in Seventh Grade used it recently and enjoyed it also.
Have a wonderful holiday season!

Snap Circuits comes with over 30 pieces to create 101 different electronic projects. The pieces, which include snap wires, slide switches, an alarm circuit, a music integrated circuit, and a speaker, snap together easily on the included plastic grid--no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices.
Simple, Fun Projects Let Kids Learn While They Play
With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits work to run the everyday devices that they're familiar with. They'll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following instructions. The project manual includes large color illustrations and simple directions for each project.
The projects include a sound-activated switch, a musical doorbell, a voice-controlled lamp, a flying saucer, and a light police siren. With these projects, children will experiment with things like electric switches, integrated circuits, digital circuits, fuses, and the transformation of circuit sounds into other sounds.
Grow as You Go
Because the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids can build on their skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons start out with a simple electric light and switch project that demonstrates how electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put together a two-speed fan, create clap-controlled sounds, and more.
Design Your Own Circuits and Upgrade Your Kit
Once children have mastered several of the techniques introduced in this kit, they can use the components to experiment and create their own customized circuits and electronic devices. The Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 can also be upgraded to the Snap Circuits SC-300, Snap Circuits Pro, or Snap Circuits Extreme with the purchase of a UC-30, UC-40, UC-60 upgrade kits, respectively. Kids will enjoy additional parts, manuals, and projects that'll take their kit--and their fun--to the next level.
Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
What's in the Box
Plastic snap-grid, 32 electrical components, and 1 project manual.
