Toy Spotlight: Snap Circuits Jr.

Remember the electronic projects kit you had as a kid? In this episode of Gear Daddy, Daddy Troy reviews today's version, the Elenco Snap Circuits Jr. This product is one of the coolest educational toys for your kids. They can work on fun science projects using an electronic circuit and build things like a laser gun or a water alarm. Moms and dads will enjoy this learning toy too. DadLabs Ep. 598 is brought to you by BabyBjorn.

Daddy Troy: Welcome back to Gear Daddy. I'm Daddy Troy. Today I'm reviewing Snap Circuits Jr. by Elenco. It's similar to the 101 Electronic Projects Kit that we had when we were kids. But it has one big difference. It's put onto this plastic grid onto which you can snap these metal strips. So the box says 8 to 108. I know dads particularly like it as well. But my 7-year old can really manipulate these little pieces fairly easily. What I also really like about these snap circuits is that the manual is color coded. And easy for even young kids to follow. There are some really cool projects that kids can do such as a water alarm, space war. They can learn about AND and OR gates. They can make laser gun sounds. So the product's called Snap Circuits Jr. by Elenco. Great product. Well built. Sturdy. Speaking of sturdy and well built products, today's episode is sponsored by BabyBjorn. Big thanks to BabyBjorn for allowing me every week to go out and do stuff with our kids, and to come back and tell you all about it.
