Great kit
Great kit for kids to learn about circuits. Wouldn't recommend for younger kids though as its quite tricky to put together and the end of the wire you have to cut is sharp when you cut it. But it's great for older kids.

Easy to assemble, great fun to play with. Pity no kid-friendly colourful pamphlets though.
My 10yr old nephew and I put this together in about 10 mins for his school science/electronics project (I do have a physics degree btw, so I know my way around circuits, but this one really isn't that complicated). He was able to understand the basic concepts of the electronic circuit from this (took a lot longer than 10mins for me to explain this to him though lol). He was very excited by this and proud of himself for understanding - it was a very thrilling moment when we put the batteries in and heard the buzzer sound for the first time! lol He aced his science project and spent ages and ages with his brothers and sister playing with this thing too! :) The product itself is a bit flimsy, but its an educational tool and its not designed to be super robust and last forever. It does what it advertises. Did have one complaint: the instructions weren't that great. Basic boring black and white diagrams. It would have been great if there had been a brightly coloured and kid-friendly booklet or pamphlet inside to explain the circuitry and give much clearer instructions on how to assemble it. It's for this reason that I'm taking a star away from this. With better kid-friendly information inside, it would be a 5/5.

Simple, effective and educational
This was a great kit that my 9 year old loved putting together, and trying it out afterwards. He did need help but it was simple enough for him to get involved, and to understand the principles behind it. Also useful to go towards his Scientist Cub badge so a double win!

Not that strong
ok but could break easy if not taking care when used. Did the job for a present, just wish it had been a little stronger.

Fun gift for kids
Bought this as a gift for a 7 year old and he loved it. Needed some help putting it together but great fun

not great quality
Not great, very cheaply made, you have to put it all together and bend the very thin wire yourself and make the hook! It killed an hour Christmas Day, but went in the bin Shortly after.

A great present, easy to assemble.
A great present which was probably more fun for the kids once it had been constructed. Not too difficult for them to put together but not entirely convinced of the value/entertainment/learning of bending the wire yourself. Comes without batteries, which thankfully I remembered!

fun toy
Too difficult for my 8 year old to make, but only took Dad 10 minutes and was ready to use. Made a good stocking filler, very small have a close look at the picture, but ideal for an 8 year old and wont take up much room. The idea is to try to move along the wire without touching it or it will buzz. Good value.
