Good - needs more information December 29, 2007
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is a good educational toy with easy to follow instructions for setting up circuits. The connections are robust as they are based on magnets - easy for a child to construct and pull apart. My only quibble is the scientific explanations which are too difficult for a 7-8 year old. It needs a simple description/glossary for each component with uses within a circuit followed by the more complicated description. Relies therefore on parental help - pretty non-existent in my household!
One engineer's symbol (light) is inconsistent.
Magnets not being recalled? September 26, 2007
45 out of 48 found this review helpful
With the recall of magnets in toys for safety reasons (if swallowed, they pinch together the gut and can cause death) being headline news, it's nice to see that some companies flaunt the "nanny state" attitude and go ahead anyway.
This toy is great fun, and safe if you follow the instructions. The science principles explored are sound, even if they're not explained in depth. One drawback is that the balls and magnet pieces are easy to lose around the house.
