- 6 yr old is building everything according to schematics - 3 yr old absolutely loving it, playing with 3-4 basic circuits, absolutely riveted w/ it - 1.5 yr old enjoying it as well, obviously w/ adult supervision so he doesn’t launch the battery holder and shatters it to pieces, again The engineers in the fam are telling me that the kids are getting a solid college-level electronics 101 education out of this “toy”

I am not sure if you are asking whether or not this is a good present for a 6 year old or not. But, my son is 6 years old and he absolutely LOVES this set. His 13 year old sister actually likes playing with it as well. We are so impressed with it, that when he is complete with all of the projects, we are considering getting one of the more elaborate sets. If anyone has a 6 year old boy interested in this type of stuff, I recommend getting a set.

Snap Circuits Jr. Sc-100 - Kids, Multicolor

Q: I see mostly children ages 5-7 are getting this. Do you think a 12 yr old would appreciate this?

Hi KrisA 12 year old might appreciate it at a different level. Usually the kids between 5-7 get fascinated with the fan, light and sound. But the 12 year will actually understand load, resistor, parallel and serial connection and so on ... So if your 12 year old wants to visualize ohms law and some physics (including diodes) then you can go for it!Let me know if I have answered your concern.

Q: Should i start my almost 6 year old with this set or with the SC-300 (I have a consignment store bought one in my closet)? Does the "junior" matter?

I bought my 7 year old the jr and now wish I had opted for a bigger set. If you already have the 300, I would use that one. They sell an upgrade kit that takes the jr to a 300, so if you bought the jr and then gave the 300 to your child, you'd be duplicating half the kit.
