Does anyone have any experience with these Elenco Electricity Kits (there are several, you just have to back up one page to see some of the others). If so, can you please give a review? Is it worth purchasing? Do the kids seem to have a good sense of what they're doing? Help?

Thanks,

We have the snap circuits and LOVE them. They are awesome! One of the best homeschooling investments I ever made. My ds can follow the instructions easily and has learned so much-totally independant of me. He loves all the fun things he can do with them, especially if they make noise!
If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer them.

Trip (who will likely go into electrical engineering) LOVES them.

Ds rec'd the jr. set for Christmas this past year, and he loves it. He's really enjoyed it, and seems to have gained a greater understanding of electricity. As far as I'm concerned, it's "magic"

OK. I have another question to ask about these sets. This is for my 12 yo son. Which set should I get? I've been agonizing all night! This son loves to work with his hands. He often plays with legos while I read aloud. He *fixed* a dishwasher in a hotel in which we were living over four years ago after another one of my sons dropped a matchbox car down the door of it. He forgot a few pieces, but I was impressed with what he did at 7 or 8 years old.

Trip, any words of wisdom?

If he's 12, I'd get him the biggest set you can afford! He'll need it.

Bumping this to ask if someone in Australia knows of a place here that sells them. They look terrific, but overseas postage might add to much to the cost.Hoping someone knows or can offer a good alternative over here.Erin any ideas?
