Learning Resources EI-4201 Circuit Explorer Rover STEM Science Toy, Space Toy, Building Set, STEM Toy, Gift for Boys & Girls, Ages 6+

I really like this set. It’s a great way for children to start learning about simpler circuits and how to put them together to achieve differing results. The included instructions are ludicrously easy to follow with nice and clear pictures. The main build offers two elements. A space rocket with accompanying launchpad and a solar moon explorer. My son didn’t want to place on the stickers for some reason so my pictures do not include this, however you do get some nice clear stickers to decorate the set. There are relatively few parts, however those that are included are all very well made and attention to detail and quality is evident. The manufacturers clearly care about the end product and their consumers with this set - That’s good to know.As I said, it’s really easy to follow the instructions and put together the various parts. The circuit lines printed around the pieces show you which way to install each part to ensure your circuit is put together correctly and complete. There are various lighting elements included too which are also well made. You do need 9 AA batteries for the set however which are not included so bear that in mind. The circuits do not use much power though so batteries will last a while. You also receive two little robots which are a nice addition but you can’t add these into the circuits they are just for playability and imagination.Overall it’s a really good set and a superb way to introduce your child to science and electronics. Really pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this.

Our five and a half year old loves this set. He understood the principal of the circuits within an hour or so, and on day 2 was using the parts to come up with his own vehicles and buildings.The set is well made and study, the lights are bright! The instructions clear and easy to follow.Younger children may need help taking sections apart as they fit together firmly.A great STEM toy for any kids interested in space and construction.

This is a great introduction to help your children begin learning about circuitry and the components that make up circuits. The three models, the rocket, the base station and the space buggy all look great. Bright and vivid colours and really well manufactured.These were not a challenge to build but still quite entertaining. The instructions came so well presented in a magazine format, full colour and printed perfectly. At the beginning of the pamphlet was a lot of relevant material information that was fun to read through.I got these for my six nearly seven year old son as he was keen to learn about circuitry and loves anything to do with space. Needless to say he was very interested with these. After the initial fun of them he discarded them for a few days before returning back to them and asking to build the other models out of the peices. Which is detailed in the manual.The LED lights are very effective and add to the futuristic appeal of the set. They create a good atmosphere.I didn't like how many batteries are required. Between the three models, nine treble A's power them.I've knocked a star off due the interface on the space bugging constantly falling off. It doesn't seem to click in properly. Quite a minor issue, which if altered could make it a five star perfect product.

This educational learning set is really well planned and thought out.All of the components are well made and fit together easily. The instructional guide is easy to follow and the range of available circuits quite varied for a small set like this.The space rocket theme is quite fun for the little ones too.There are a couple of issues worth considering in advance of buying this set though.1st, you will need 9x batteries for it to work. 2nd, the set does feature flashing lights. The lights aren't too bad in a well lit space, but if you play with them in the dark they can be a bit much for photosensitive types.But all in all, it's a really good educational set that makes learning about electrical circuitry fun.

I remember learning circuit building during science classes in school - today I built circuits with my grandson through this amazing rocket circuit explorer set and cannot begin to explain the difference! At school it was so boring and finally lit a little light bulb today we built an exciting rocket and didn’t really realise we were learning but we were.Learning through play is the most enjoyable way to learn and tends to support further investigation and interest.Therefore although this set is a tad pricey at £30 it is not just a toy but could ignite a child’s imagination and supports STEM learnIng. For children who enjoy construction toys - this takes construction to the next level.I’m happy to recommend this set and give it a 5 star review.I hope you find this review helpful 😊

As an add on to the Explorer Base Station, this is a no brainer. As with that main station, built correctly, this will keep the end user engrossed for hours. Okay, there isn't as much involvement, but combined with that other section, there will be more than enough to satiate anyone. Once again, those who put this together had a great time (and still do)Again, it is rather expensive for what you get, and no batteries are included.

This is a brilliant way to learn through exciting hands on projects and ok it's £30 but then on top of that you need 9 AAA batteries. That bangs the cost up a huge amount.Do be aware also of the warning on the box of flashing lights.Ok well if you have an inquisitive child or grandchild this could be just what they need. The set does require building it, although it doesn't really take that long.Following instructions is a must if you want it to work as it does require circuit building. The results are awesome and great bonding time.

My 5 year old son really enjoyed building this set, with some helps, and learn about the fundamentals of circuitry. It is also a good introduction into STEM Learning and it is very adaptable to a young kid. He love connecting the rover to the source and watch it move with the lights on.It keep him very busy and he can also be very inventive and switch some of the part to build a new version of the rover.It seems very robust and durable.I will recommend it 💯 and will probably buy more sets from this company

Acheté pour mon fils de 5 ans, il est ravi.Jouet éducatif de qualité.

My 6 year old loves to use her imagination and build different things so I knew this rover set would be perfect for her! It is also a good way to introduce STEM skills to her in kindergarten and she is also learning fun things like how to build a circuit even at 6 years old! All of the pieces are durable and high quality and I love that these circuit explorer sets can be played with for years to come! The instructions are very easy to follow and although I had to help her a few times, overall she was able to create most of it all by herself! She was so proud of herself and I was too! She even built an obstacle course afterwards for the rover to drive through! We have been looking for fun and educational ways for her to keep learning after virtual kindergarten and these sets are perfect. This would be the best holiday gift, birthday gift and just to keep them busy learning and having fun toy! It keeps her occupied for HOURS! We can’t wait to purchase more of these awesome sets. Highly recommend!

Es muy chulo.Funcciona de maravilla ,se pierden hacer distintos modelos.Un buen regalo.

I ordered this for my 5 year old son. It's recommended for 6 and up, but he is very interested in building things and learning with his toys, so we gave it a try and he LOVES it. We let him dig in as soon as we opened the box, and all we had to do was put in the batteries. The pictures in the instruction book are simple enough that he could look at it and put it together without being able to read all of the words. My husband was able to explain the circuit part to him while he was working, and now he has a great educational toy! The best part is that it can be taken apart and rebuilt to help further grasp the concept, and it can be combined with the circuit rover and circuit base station to create endless hours of fun play for kiddos!
