My 7 year old son bought this with his birthday money, and it has been a great hit. The ease with which he can build, and experiment with, simple circuits - using the snap fastener links - is superb. Some of the activities are still a bit advanced for him, but I am confident that the durability of the set will ensure it is still in play when he is ready for the next stages.

This is a good educational toy with easy to follow instructions for setting up circuits. The connections are robust as they are based on magnets - easy for a child to construct and pull apart. My only quibble is the scientific explanations which are too difficult for a 7-8 year old. It needs a simple description/glossary for each component with uses within a circuit followed by the more complicated description. Relies therefore on parental help - pretty non-existent in my household!
One engineer's symbol (light) is inconsistent. >>More Details |

My son got this for a christmas present and it was put away for some time with dad. Unfortunately the pieces were very hard to get out and some ended up snapping. Then the instructions were very poorly illustrated and once a mistake had been made it was almost impossible to get the wheels etc back off. It turned into a very frustarting time for dad and son and to change the foam washers to change the way the buggy moves requires the same fiddly process which requires two sets of pliers to remove the wheels. Not something that a child of 8 has the strength to do. However, once the buggy was up and running the kids enjoyed playing with it and there was some educational value in the different tensions to change the sped.

The mechanical aspect of assembling the motor, and the accompanying explanation of how the motor works was interesting for my 6 year old. But the body itself is made from cardboard and was very fiddly, and took long to build. Cannot see it lasting too long.

We bought this as a present for our daughter (Argos £19.99) as she loves the stars and thought that as it doubles a nightlight, it was perfect! How wrong we were! The product itself looks really good on the packaging, but when you handle it, it feels very cheap and lightweight. The "rotating map" is made from thin plastic which in order for the motor to turn has to be placed EXACTLY correctly. It's a bit pointless really as the focus is so bad you can barely read or see the constellations. The best view we managed was when I stood on a chair holding it about 15cm from the ceiling, not what we expected at all. The commentary on the "accompanying soundtrack" is insane, it talks about the planets which on it's own would be interesting, but ... Read More:
