    The battery is not working although we charged it so many times. Useless for us. Not working. I will not recommend buying a game which does not work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2012

    The parts are durable, very sturdy. Some other reviewers have compared them to Legos in quality, and I agree that they're on the same level. They snap together easily. All of the parts worked the way they were supposed to.

    The booklet has clear instructions for the projects and lots of pictures. The projects are quick to put together and take apart. The included storage tray is a durable, permanent part of the set and makes it easy to find parts. Also makes it easy to see if you forgot to put a part away.

    The only recommendation I have for improvement is that they give more detailed descriptions of what a short circuit is and how to avoid it. This part was confusing for me at first because I had ZERO experience with this sort of thing.

    I bought this for my 12-year-old son to use in his homeschool science class. He loves it. An added bonus is that I am learning WITH HIM while he does the projects.

    As for the "green"part: this set includes parts for showing how wind, water, solar, and manual (hand crank) energy can be used to power LED lights, a horn, a radio, and so on. This is an excellent introduction to alternative energy. In addition, the kit includes a booklet that explains alternative energy in simple terms.

    I hold a master's degree in education. Although this set is fun, it's also educational and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for use in any regular classroom from about 4th grade up. Kids 8 to 12 might need a little adult guidance with the projects. My 12-year-old can do them without my help, but I like to participate just for the fun of it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Toy! Huge hit with our 5 yr old.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Our son likes to know how everything works and often requests to watch "Modern Marvels." We bought Snap Circuits Jr for his 5th birthday and it was a huge hit with everyone there (kids and adults).

    This Green Energy kit was the next set we purchased. We have owned it for about 8 months now and this has been one of the most played with things in our house. Our son regularly combines the two sets to build his own circuits. He has more fun with this than with lego bricks and k'nex. He likes to hook up the meter and see how he is creating energy by blowing on the fan, turning the crank, or putting the solar panel in the sun. This set is an awesome add-on to the original kits. You can use it by itself as well, but DS loves the flying disc, the sensors, and the battery pack in the Jr set.

    The quality seems high. We tried an elecricity kit in the past and it was not user friendly at all, even for adults. With Snap Circuits, everything works like it should, despite being handled regularly by a 5 yr old. This one doesn't fall apart with the slightest touch, like some other brand kits.

    I must applaud the company for making something so kid friendly. There are so many times where my son has an interest in things, but they are not appropriate for him yet. These kits allow him to safely explore his interests and I am truely grateful for that. I also like that it appeals to adults more than some other kid toys. He and I can both have fun while spending time together. It sure beats playing Candyland. LOL

    Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this set. It is reasonably priced and of great quality. I would not hesitate to buy this again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - I've found the holy grail of "legos"
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    My son (6) is a very inquisitive type and has always been into legos, and picks up books as soon as there is any "down time" (even if it's just a 5 minute trip to the store). So, on a whim I thought, what is the next step beyond legos? That is when I stumbled upon the snap circuits product. I'm now set for A WHILE in terms of what to get my son for gifts. We got this for Christmas for him and due to travel etc we didn't get to open it until this weekend. All I can say is "Wow." The circuits are very fun to create even though I am a novice myself. He automatically went to the far back of the book to do some of the more challenging ones by himself after we had done a few together.

    His pride in his ability to do it alone as well as sheer joy from seeing how things "worked" was fun to see. He told me that he had a dream about Snap Circuits the night after we opened it and that in his dream he made the biggest snap circuit ever. Now that's a good toy! My soon to be 4 year old also was very interested in helping big brother. My 6 year old let the 4 year old turn the hand crank as well as blow on the fan (smart kid making his little brother do the "hard work"). I love particular set because it really does teach kids that energy has to come from somewhere. The explanations in the book such as "open" and "closed" circuits are also very intuitive and explained the concepts better than any teacher or book I'd ever seen. This product is NOT for everyone. I know that many kids would say "yeah just give me my video game." However, if your kid is the inquisitive type, likes legos/building and just wants to find out how things work, this is the best gift I can possibly think of. Thanks to all of the other reviewers for their reviews as that swayed me to buying this product and I am overwhelmingly pleased that I did.
