Snap Circuits SC-300 Reviews

(1) Our 9 yo made a few projects the first day and radio the next day he got the kit and now he doesn’t want to take it apart, he carries it around the house and listens to his radio when he is home, he puts it on the night stand when he goes to bed, he turns it on first thing in the morning. It replaced all toys, he runs to his radio when he gets home from school. I was afraid this set would be too hard for him to get started, but it’s not, he made everything by himself without any help. We are ready for the upgrade kit. Buy it, this is probably one of the best toys we ever bought for our son, thank you amazon for offering it and special thank you to everyone for your great reviews, they do not lie.

(2) There’s not much I can add to the positive reviews here already. I’m very impressed with this product.
My 3 points:
1) I have a 7 year old, and obviously, it requires supervision and instruction (especially to start). The first day, we created several of the numbered projects in the booklet together. The second day, he got it out by himself and decided to build the circuit on the “DO NOT DO THIS!” page. Luckily no one and nothing got hurt. He can read, but apparently he didn’t comprehend that this warning applied to HIM.
2) It would be nice if the numbered projects listed a little more information on what the “special” chips do. I’m sure it tells somewhere in the booklet, but my son was much too anxious to get started to look up those details elsewhere in the book.
3) It’s imperative that the “chips” stay organized: everything must be put back in its proper spot for storage so that it can be found the next time you want to use it. This fact, alone, has made this a tremendously educational tool for my son.
