Snap Circuits UC-50 Kit, Assorted

Bought as a present.

According my 9 year old son best present ever and this is addition to his previous Snap Circuit

My 9 year old LOVES these. This is his third set, he also has the basic set and the FM radio set. He plays with it for hours! He started with them when he was 7.. and my 12 year old enjoys them too!

Great addition for more projects

Après le kit de base, un ajout formidable. Mon petit-fils est accro, depuis l'âge de 7 ans! Des heures de pur bonheur.

Great for my kids

Received in goos working order

My son originally received the Snap Circuits Jr. as a 6th birthday present. He played with it a bit, strictly as a toy, but lost interest, and I was glad we hadn't bought one of the more expensive sets. But then a few weeks later he pulled it back out and began really using it as learning kit. Suddenly his vocabulary became speckled with terms like short, ground, LED, and current limiting resister. He innovated and rev'ed up the flying saucer to 9 volts and managed to hit the vaulted ceiling with it, scaring the baby sitter. He also burned out the lamp.Clearly electronics were now a thing for him, but it didn't necessarily have to work out that way. That's why I'm so happy Elenco provides the upgrade kits. You can start relatively cheaply with a lower level kit, and if the kid's interest grows, you can upgrade. If their interest flags, then you can stop.He doesn't know it yet, but we've already bought the UC-80 kit for him. It's hidden away waiting for a string of good behavior, or perhaps a random act of kindness from him.

This is the third set, second upgrade, that we have bought for my nephew. He is the type of child that likes to take things apart and attempt to find out what makes it work. We thought this was a better activity than taking apart mom and dad's personal things, like a watch and a camera. Since each kit has so many projects it looks overwhelming but soon he was able to read and focus on each project. He did have problems trying to decide which project to attempt to complete first but once he made his choice the sky was the limit.He is learning how electricity works and even creates his own projects. He seems to have gained some self esteem from accomplishing these projects. He is so excited to present them to us. I do think some projects are still a little over his head but the educational value is limitless. He will be able to use these kits into adulthood and will understand more each time he uses the kits. Each piece is labeled with a alphanumeric code and are easy to read. The kits come in a sturdy cardboard box that can be closed and has a tray that keeps the pieces organized with a "map" of each piece and how many you should have in each kit. We use a large rubberband to keep the box closed and keep the pieces in the tray securely. The pieces are big enough for little hands as well as adult hands. What an exceptional product. I am looking forward to researching the next upgrade kit for this years gift.

My son loves the snap circuits. I thought buying this would be useful with the motion set, but it's no use. When buying these upgrade kits you have to have the correct base kit. I have no problem buying the base kit to go with this because he loves them, but it went unused on Christmas Day for this reason.

My 9yr old loves these snap circuits. He has ADHD and this keeps him busy and focused for hours.This is the 3rd upgrade kit purchased. We love them very educational. Definitely would recommend these

Didn't need it, so I returned it. But, it looked like a Snap Circuits product. Well made and durable.

These toys provide fun and education - win, win.

Our 10 year old grandson loved it. He put it together with his 300 kit and made an am/fm radio with volume control. immediately. The kit arrived promptly, as promised. We purchased the jr kit for our 6 year old grandson who was able to make four projects after a little help from Grandpa. We highly recommend Elenco Snap Circuits for gifts for children who like to do projects and Amazon always delivers promptly.

purchased as gift for my daughter ... she loves it ... can spend hours creating new circuits

My grandson made a radio in about 10 minutes.... I will order the next size up so it will keep him occupied a little longer.......

This was a Christmas gift for our 9 year old grandsons. We have been giving them expansion kits for several years. They enjoy working with snap circuits. The instructions are clear enough for them to follow by themselves and the parts are well made. I recommend this set to expand an existing set of Snap Circuits to the next level.
