Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 Reviews
Snap Circuits are a GREAT GIFT
I highly recommend snap circuits! I use them in my science classroom and wrote about them for technorati.com See the article:
Holiday Gifts: Are Educational Toys Always Geeky?
In Lemony Snicket’s, The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming, a Christmas story, we are told, “It is very frustrating not to be understood in this world. If you say one thing and keep being told that you mean something else, it can make you want to scream. But somewhere in the world there is a place for all of us, whether you are an electric form of decoration, peppermint-scented sweet, a source of timber, or a potato pancake.” And somewhere in the world, kids can get educational toys and not hate you for it!
With Chanukah just around the corner and then Christmas, I thought parents might want to know a few of my favorite science toys that are great gifts and will be your child’s favorite thing. They might even say THANK YOU!
Check out Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 from Elenco available at Amazon.com for $23.20. I have used these circuits in several classrooms over my thirteen years of teaching. Students from 2nd grade through 6th grade love these circuits. After 3 to 4 class times of using them, they always ask can’t we do it again!
Another great gift that won’t make you cringe every time your child asks for more screen time is Zoombinis. This game teaches logical reasoning and at $7.04 on Amazon.com it is a real steal! For this game, you create a tribe of Zoombinis. They are each slightly different they have different eyes, hair, glasses. Through reasoning and figuring out who can cross the bridge or ski down which slope, you and your child will be doing logical reasoning and having fun!
I have used the Zoombinis with children from Kindergarten to Third Grade, but to be honest I love it also! It really is fun to move the Zoombinis along on their journey.
I would also recommend you pick some gifts that cost you nothing in money. Give your child a coupon for a night to read with you. Create a ritual of reading and sharing books.
Since your child loves to be online, find some sites you can enjoy together. Check out this site for finding simple machines that I use in class with second grade, Simple machines.
I also highly recommend putting Arnold back together again. I use this site with my Kindergarten and Fifth Grade classes when we study the human body. My nephew who is in Seventh Grade used it recently and enjoyed it also.
Have a wonderful holiday season!
Quality Time With Your Child
I bought the Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 for my grandson’s 6th birthday. The box says it’s for ages 8 to 108; however, it is totally appropriate and safe for children a little younger.
SOOOOO much fun!
My son got this for his 5th birthday. He has spent hours working on it with dad at first and now on his own. He likes to follow the directions, but also has fun creating his own ciruits now that he understands the basic concepts. So much to do.
