Review: Great gift for Inventors and Makers of all ages! - A great kit for Inventors and Makers to learn about and make electric circuits. She enjoyed the challenging activities and was proud to complete them all! Definitely value for money as they can be re-used for other ideas, not just school projects. Good quality parts and environmentally friendly packaging! A great educational practical & fun gift for any occasion!
Review: Excellent product - I bought this item to teach my son about electronic circuit. The product is very child friendly. My son was able to understand the closed and open circuit in a practical method. He himself experimented by connecting wires from the battery to the bulb , motor and buzzer. My son was very excited to see the bulb started to glow after connecting to the battery. He was able to understand + and - polarity. Only suggestion to the seller would be to add circuit diagram as an example - in how to connect a bulb , switch , motor and buzzer. Overall i am satisfied with the product and highly recommend this product. It's one of the best way to engage children in creativity rather than spending of IPAD's or mobile phone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for teaching the basics of electricity and circuits.
*by L***D on 1 December 2019*

A great introduction to the basic principles of electricity and electronics for younger kids - our six-year old had mastered the basic concepts within 30 minutes and was giving demonstrations to willing (and less so) audiences before lunch-time. It's great for kindling the spark of learning and the instruction sheet comes with some simple challenges to make it a bit more interesting. The only down-side is the price - there are similar kits available for less or biggert kits available for the same price and they're probably using near-identical components. At a tenner it's a reasonable way to test the water on whether a more complex kit (Hotwires or similar) is a worthwhile investment.
