Toys and Games Reviews of Thames and Kosmos Classic Science Essential Electronics
Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
The circut The circuit board is made of thin cheap cardboard. After a few experiments it tears. Also one of our parts failed to work so I emailed their support address . They never emailed me back. They have one experiment where you get to make a vibrating bug. When I was building it the parts did not hold up. The bugs body was made of cheap paper that does not hold up to its construction as it folds and does not support its paperclip legs. I bought this for my son but it just was a frustrating experience. It is just a box of junk. If the circut board was made of plastic or strong cardboard and if the parts were more durible it would be a great learning tool.
