Elenco EP-130 Electronic Playground 130-in-1 Kit

This set is like a step up from snap circuits, you can see the actual components so when you start doing real circuit boards, they're easier to recognize. Definitely a way to grow and move on to more complex things.

I could swear I've seen this made of large amounts of cardboard. Not so this time. It's made out of a relatively sturdy plastic. The panel is really well organized too, you see a lot of the actual components and it helps connect the dots for when you're doing real electronics stuff. The manual is good too a lot of good experiments. Good kit. It's a definite step up for kids who've been using the Snap Circuits for a while.
