Learning Resources - Circuit Explorer Space Base, STEM Science Toy, Ages 6 Onwards, Multicoloured, EI-4202

This is one of the best toys we have ever bought for our 6 year old. It keeps her occupied for HOURS! She loves building things so I knew she would love this set. All the pieces are high quality and durable. I love that she is learning new things like how to build a circuit and she thinks it is the coolest thing ever! I love that this set is helping her to learn STEM skills even in kindergarten! She also loves to imaginative play with the astronaut and robots. This is also a fun way for her to use her creativity skills. I am always trying to find fun and educational toys for her to do and I’m so glad I came across this set. She did need some help with some of the pieces but I love that this set will grow with her and she can use it for many years to come! This is the perfect set especially for her right now as she is doing virtual learning and I’ve been trying to find ways for her to have fun learning but keeps her away from the computer/TV/iPad. Highly recommend this. It is the perfect birthday, holiday and just because gift!

il faut 12 piles pour tout faire fonctionner, alors que dans la description du produit il est noté pas de piles. Sinon c'est top et mes petits enfants ont adoré. quand les piles seront usées je n'en remettrais pas lol Déçue...

The base station set is so much fun to build! Our 6 year old son was able to build the individual parts on his own by looking at the manual.The pieces are easy to put together and the symbols that are on the separate parts allow kids to see how they can match up with each other. The bottom pieces for the command center required some help from parents but we worked together and used our problem-solving skills.Our kids loved making each part (rover, tower, command center) and pressing the power button to see how each part works to move, light up, and turn!Even our 3 year old son was so excited to see how all the pieces join together and they all loved playing with the sound box, especially hearing their own voices come out as robots.Not only does this circuit explorer base station set allow for kids to explore their creativity and curiosity (building skills), but it also provides so much excitement and fun at the same time!

Now this is rather interesting. It's like Lego (of a sort) but with wires. As an exercise in circuitry, it works, as you have to build the items in order to connect them to the batteries to make it light up. At the special needs school the boss works at, this has gone down very well, as it's very self fulfilling for them to accomplish something like this.I have two issues with this. It's rather expensive, but is that expense alleviated by the pleasure the user gets? And, as always, there are no batteries included. Why, when anything electrical must have a plug attached, do they not include some cheap batteries to get things going?

We purchased this for our 5 year old who is fascinated with space and electricity. There are maybe 2 or 3 spots in the directions (a step by step book similar to a big building brick brand) that we’re quite unclear. One of the rover’s doesn’t move, but if they had included one more motor and one more battery piece, everything would have lights and motion.Some of the pieces were too difficult for his hands to put together, but we did it together, and he was so proud.The circuits are easy to connect because of the lines provided on different pieces, but there’s not much explanation, so the educational aspect isn’t too strong here.All in all, though, we loved that this was a nice combo between L*go, Sn*p circuits, and a play set. It was a great toy for our son.
