Snap Circuits comes with over 70 pieces to create 511 different electronic projects. The pieces, which include snap wires, slide switches, resistors, an FM radio module, and a 7-segment LED display, snap together easily on the included plastic grid–no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices.
Simple, Fun Projects Let Kids Learn While They Play
With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits run the everyday devices that they’re familiar with. They’ll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following instructions. The project manuals include large color illustrations and simple directions for each project.
The project list includes all of the projects from the 100-in-1 and 300-in-1 kits and 206 additional projects, including a music meter, an FM radio, and a digital voice recorder. With these projects, children will learn about electric switches, integrated circuits, digital circuits, fuses, and more.
Grow as You Go
Because the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids can build on their skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons start out with a simple electric light and switch project that demonstrates how electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put together a music alarm, different visual displays, an adjustable light control, and more.
Design Your Own Circuits and Upgrade Your Kit
Once children have mastered several of the techniques introduced in this kit, they can use the components to experiment and create their own customized circuits and electronic devices. The Snap Circuits PRO SC-500 can also be upgraded to the Snap Circuits Extreme (SC-750) or the Snap-Micro I Standard (SCM-400) with the purchase of a UC-80 or UC-100 upgrade kit, respectively. Kids will enjoy additional parts, manuals, and projects that’ll take their kit–and their fun–to the next level.
Snap Circuits PRO SC-500 requires four AA batteries, which are not included.
What’s in the Box
Plastic snap-grid, 76 electrical components, and 3 project manuals.

Fantastic product! I bought this SC-500 and the Snap Circuits Motion Electronics Discovery Kit for my 8 years old son and he love them. He really enjoy playing with both kits. Usually most toys I bought for him he stop playing after a few days since there’s nothing new he can get out of them. However, these keep him busy for a long time.The overall build quality are very good. What can be improved: the jump wires in both kits are poorly built and they easily got broken after building several projects…
Excellent product So far, so good. Only through the first dozen or so experiments. My just-turned-seven-year-old grandson and I are having a good time with the SC Pro. He took to it right away, figuring out how to assemble the parts and how to make things work, without much if any reading of instructions. He pesters me to use it, and to use it WITH him, which is the best you can hope for from an activity that is on the healthy side of today’s offerings for children.In response to some of the negative…
Great teaching device and toy As pictured in the amazon add. The Snap circuit is durable with ease to follow directions. My eleven year old is having a ball learning about electronics and circuits. He is already looking at additional sets to add on to the fun.Pros: great quality, easy to follow instructions, easy on off connections between parts, oh yeah and the box is setup to allow for easy storage and part recognition making assembling the circuits quick and easy.Cons: none
