Last Christmas, I bought Mike a snap circuits set, and it was an immediate hit with the kids! They can only build functional circuits with help and/or trial and error, but it was neat to see Johnny make this circuit-inspired craft all on his own! He may not understand the science behind it, but the interest is there, and he has years ahead to learn!
What fun and creative learning is happening in your house? Please link up your posts – sharing my button or a text link back is much appreciated!
I love seeing all the fun links from other blogs every week! I love contact paper, I love felt, and I love Science, so I was thrilled to see this incredible contact paper human body at Our Feminist {Play} School! last week. Ready. Set. Read! shared fourteen fantastic ways to explore the letters in your child’s name, gathered from a range of amazing kid bloggers. Doodles and Jots linked up a very cool hovering hawk craft, and I love this texture road from School Time Snippets!

I am so impressed at what your son did! It’s amazing the things they soak up – especially the things that really interest them.

Isn’t it so cool what our kids retain when we don’t even realize it. I love that he’s being imaginative and making that all on his own. You’re doing a great job, Mama!

I’ve been wanting to try the snap circuits, but some of the reviews on amazon scared me a little. I’m happy to hear that you like them. Trial and error and sometimes is the best learning process.

We really like our set! You can short-circuit a couple of the pieces if you set it up wrong (surprising given it only uses AA batteries), which may be the source of some of the negative Amazon reviews? There are just a couple pieces we don’t give out when the kids are experimenting with circuits to prevent that from happening. It’s a great parent-child activity, and my 6yo can now set up simple circuits on her own.

Awesome! :)

Ohhh what an inventor you have – I remember getting an electronics kit one Christmas and the excitment of making the light come on and the radio work – it was very cool – when I outgrow it my parents took it into their school to use in electronics lessons.

Oh Wow! What a fun activity– to be honest, I’m a little nervous about trying to make our own circut! But I am sure my son would love it! Thanks for the linky party!

I’m sorry my first attempt at a link went wrong! The name of the post is supposed to be “Sizes and ‘What Fits’” — I apologize!
