I bought this for my 9 year old on his birthday. He loves it! I don't think he'll ever get bored with it, as he has already made up some of his own experiments. His father loves to teach him about electricity and this is a great, fun way to learn.

My 10 year old son really enjoys this kit. The instructions are easy to follow and there are enough "expirements" to keep him busy for hours!
This is a great toy!

we bought a smaller version of this snap circuits pro for my son a year ago. it became one of very few toys that are my son's favorites and also very few that can keep him interested for hours at a time.
so it was no wonder that we wanted to buy the bigger one with more variety of projects. we were a little hesitant at first since my son is only 6 years old and all of this circuits toys are for 8 years old. but we went ahead and tried anyway. we can not be happier with our decision. since he was already familiar with the smaller version, he was able to jump right in .
my son is a very intelligent boy that never really like most toys out there in the toy store. so to find this that can keep him interested for a long period of time is great.

Snap Circuits Pro is a must for any budding electrician. I have 5 boys who sit for hours creating various circuits that actually work without the frustration felt when little hands are trying to manipulate precarious wiring. This is our 2nd set - as the first was just a teaser for them. Well worth the price.

My 11 year old grandson had a smaller version of the Snap Circuits Pro and liked it so well that he asked for the larger one with more configurations. His 8 year old brother is now playing with the original one. This really is a great toy to inspire creativity and an interest in science. I would highly recommend it.
Great toy for budding engineers!

If your child, like mine, likes to take things apart around the house and build contraptions using whatever he or she can find, this toy is perfect. We got this toy as a birthday gift for our 5-year-old son. At first, he wasn't sure about it, but then we opened it up and showed him projects 1 and 2, simple open/closed circuits that control a light and a small fan, respectively. He was hooked! At this age, he does need help to complete the projects, but I think very soon he'll be tackling them by himself. He's thrilled to be working with electricity, just like his daddy (an electrical engineer).
The product is sturdy and snaps together easily, and the directions are easy to understand.

Love this toy. My son is 7 and got a 100 piece set and he has played with it constantly. So far great. He loves to figure out problems so this is right up his alley. And dad has a blast working with him in building all the experiments.
Great Toy

My 5 year old engineer-to-be loved this toy. He went through all of the projects in the first two weeks with minimal supervision. The projects are interesting to the kids and the pieces fit together easily. We're looking forward to adding other kits and more interesting projects as our son gets older.

My son received a Snap Circuit Set as a gift this year, and was very interested in this toy. I immediately went to Fat Brain Toys to order another set. I knew I could depend on Fat Brain Toys to carry this product line. Since receiving his second set my 8 year old has not been able to put it down. Not only has he followed the booklet with his building, he has also used his clever mind and come up with his own creations. My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and it is very difficult to find things that hold his interest seeing that he is very intelligent and usually gets bored fast. I am very impressed with this product line and definately will be ordering more of the same.

I ordered the S C Pro for my 11 year old grandson as a birthday gift not knowing that I had hit the jackpot with this one! He really enjoys this toy. The knowledge he has gained is amazing not to mention the fun he's had learning. The instructions are clear and complete. The quality of the circuit board and parts is outstanding. This is a really great toy. A nice change away from video games and TV. Order it you won't be sorry! I absolutely recommend this toy!

The kids love it. Everyday they come home from school and after homework it's the first thing they want to get out. I don't mind since they are learning while they use it.

Snap Circuits Pro was a great purchase for my 9 year old son. He loves to invent things and wanted an "advanced electronics" kit. Needless to say, he loves it and can spend hours playing with it. He is not only learning about circuitry, but it satisfies that part of him that loves to put together puzzles and Legos. His engineering grandfather was equally impressed!

My kids spend an evening a week building radios and other devices with this set. At this point, my daughter can actually do so by herself simply from reading the diagrams. We bought one of these a year ago and lost numerous pieces, you must put them away fastidiously or they will disappear. But given the educational value of Snap Circuits and it's magnetic appeal to my children, there was never any question that I'd buy it. This is a wonderful toy. This set is best if you want a much broader range of possibilities for your child.

The product is great. I bought a set for my 6 year old son, who wanted an "electricity set". It is the best I can find. My husband, a high school science teacher, bought it to teach his students about transistors and resistors. The students (average age 17) love it too.

A really neat exploratory set at a great price. This set lets you learn the basics and gives confidence to go further. Snap Circuits Pro actually helped my step-son learn more about basic circuitry than he has in school. It also inspired him to think of better projects for his science fair. This kit drew his attention away from video games and prompted him to start asking questions about other electrical things.

Snap Circuits Pro provides numerous building options. My 8 year old son loves it. The mini-projects are easy to assemble and the instructions are clear. The materials also contain a great deal of information to learn about the physics involved. This set is far superior to another electronics set that my son had received, which had poor quality and lack of clear directions.

I bought this toy for my son's 10th birthday. He loves to build things, he loves science, and he loves spy gadgets. At first I was worried that he would ruin it with a short circuit or that he would be frustrated, but all those worries have been for nothing. After a short course with Dad, he was building his own experiments much more quickly than I had anticipated. He loves it. I love the fact that each experiment also has information on the scientific application of the experiment and some historical data on inventors. My son doesn't even realize that he is learning something. We've already been able to use one of the experiments to explain something in the world to him. I highly recommend this product, and we will buy more accessories as needed.

My son, age 8, genuinely enjoys making the different projects. At first he was intimidated by the idea of electricity and circuits and maybe by the amount of stuff in the box. But once he opened the instruction booklet and began the very first project, he really started to enjoy the whole process. I love that he is learning about circuits in this way!

My 7 year old son loves it! The first few circuits he and his dad built together and talked about how they work. From about circuit 8 on he has been building the circuits by himself. He loves it! We love that it is educational!

I am homeschooling my son who is 13. I thought this would be a great for him to use as part of his science class. He has really enjoyed using the Snap Circuis Pro. I particularly like that each project has as an objective for him to learn.

A fine set of projects. My son is happy assembling them. One small problem, the fan popped off the shaft, spun into the wall and cracked. Everything else seems to work so far.

My son's friend has the Snap Circuit Jr, and this became "the toy" that my son wanted for his birthday. I wondered if the Snap Circuits Pro was a better choice after reading about all the options. The cost is higher, but definitely worth it. We already knew he would like it, plus he can make so many more cool things in addition to what he could do with the Junior set. He is eight, and the directions are easy to follow and fun to use. He really enjoys it and is learning at the same time. He played with this toy first and is still playing with it - enough said. This is a toy that will be used for years to come, plus I love it too!

This has had my son's attention to the point of having to take it away from him to get him to do anything else. For a boy who is always on computer games, he has chosen this over the computer. I feel I have scored a hit for his birthday. Even his sister is putting together circuits.

I gave Snap Circuit Pro to my grandson for his birthday and he is enthralled with it. My husband is an electrician and he thought it was great. It has experiments that start out easy and then work into more difficult ones which is great.

My child was able to use this toy without any adult assistance. This is the type of toy that is not played with everyday, but has longevity, as it is pulled out periodically and played with for consecutive days in spurts. It is also very versatile, as my son has used the components to create his own inventions.

This is the third Snap Circuits I've purchased. This was purchased for the Montessori school my son attends. Snap Circuits is perfect for teaching the fundamental to more advanced principles of electricity. My four-year-old has learned and now designs his own circuits. This is due in no small part to the fact the pieces easily snap together and snap to the board, making learning the logics of circuitry much more manageable. The accompanying book of ideas is easy to follow and expand upon. One of the best "fat brain" toys on the market.

My son already had Snap Circuit, Jr. and this item enabled him to add to his electricity creativity. The booklet with ideas is easy for him to read by himself and all parts are well made and user-friendly. It's a favorite at our house already! My only objection is that the box came crushed and it was a birthday gift for him. I would have been uncomfortable giving it if I had bought it as a gift for a friend.

I bought this toy for my daughters hoping to give them exposure to a "different" kind of toy. They have many "girl toys" such as dolls, stuffed animals, etc.
They loved it! They had a lot of fun building the FM radio. Although this is a simple toy to manipulate and build cool circuits, a child can learn quite a lot about how real electronics work.

This has turned out to be my son's favorite! It has even drawn him away from the PS2. He has really enjoyed experimenting with it, and is able to do so without any parental assistance. His 10 and 12 year old sisters enjoy it, too.

My son has played with it several times since he opened it. It is his favorite toy so far. He hasn't really followed the instructions; he has created his own little machines and added power and switches. Very cool toy for an 8 year old.

This was given to a 10 year old boy who has never demonstrated any interest in electonics other than video games. He loves it. The kit is a vast improvement over the ones I had as a kid where the circuits were completed using wires between spring clips.

A very well built and well designed toy. Enough projects in the literature to last a few years. We found that a lot of the adults were enjoying the toy as well. Fat brain did a great job in getting the toy to us quickly.

This was a gift for BOTH my son (7 years old) and my husband (10 years old at heart!) and it was a hit with both of them! They have been going through each project in the manual in sequence and it is easy enough for my 7 year old to follow by himself. They were halfway through the manual in 2 days and have side tracked and done of a few of their own experiments with it. A GREAT toy!
