Review by Daniel L Edelen for Snap Circuits SC-300Rating: make toys like they used to? Toys break prematurely, they underdeliver on their hope of fun, and they just don`t engage kids like the material we grew up with.

Not Snap Circuits!

I arranged this for my six-year-ancient son and we`ve loved every minute of acting with this educational toy.

What makes it stand out?

1.

Exceptionally excellent building instruction manuals. With clear directions in full-color, the two large manuals included with the SC-300 kit are possibly the best manuals I`ve seen for anything I`ve ever bought. They lay out all the projects possible with the kit and besides the philosophy that regulate how the projects work.

2. Rugged construction pieces. The electronics of the kit come attached to thick slabs of plastic which have spring-loaded button-snap connectors (as base on clothing) on the rear. Each piece is clearly marked, especially so for those electronics that tie in one specific current direction. The kit should go for a long time.

3. Clever construction system. The button-snap connectors are pure genius. Most of us parents love the electronic kits with spring terminals, but the shoot system here outshines the form we grew up with.

4. Three hundred projects in the SC-300 kit. Plenty of projects to celebrate the kids occupied on rainy summer days. I wish I`d had a kit this nice as a kid!

5. Excellent mix of electronics. A nice chain of resistors, capacitors, ICs, and limited function electronics, including photo sensors, speakers, sound sensors, motors, microphones, etc.

6. Superb regard. Rarely can you buy a children`s toy and get the tone you truly received what you paying for. This kit`s worth every dime-and so some.

In this country the merely negative in this kit comes from knowing better, even more complex Snap Path kits exist! You can never buy one big enough.

In small, if you`ve got a child interested in electronics, consider this a must-have. And yet if your child`s not display that interest yet, this kit might be all they want to learn their inner electrical engineer.

My son and I like Snap Circuits. You will, too.
