I have to tell you about one of the best toys I've ever purchased. I bought it for Christmas for my 7 yr old son and he has used it every single day! How many toys can we say that about?
It is snap circuits. It's made by Elenco Electronics and the kits come in various sizes. I purchased the SC-100 for my son because I didn't know how the kits would go over. Basically, it's segments that you snap onto a provided plastic board and build various circuits. It comes with a manual that explains the circuits and a color coded diagram that show you where to put the pieces. My son just puts the pieces on there and is just thrilled with the things that "he can make happen". I don't think he really get's the point of resistance yet, for example, but he is having so much fun. He's done each circuit at least twice. Our 4 yr old is helping him, which is great because our younger child really picks things up by watching.
If you want to check these out, you can find them on Amazon.com.
