GIVEAWAY of the week:
Snap Circuits Jr. SC 100 and
The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip by Joanna Cole
Do you have a budding scientist? (Or would you like to encourage “someone” to show a little interest in science?) Snap Circuits are just the Christmas gift you’re looking for.
Again, last Christmas when MacGyver began making his list for Santa, we jumped on the internet to review his choices. Wow! Snap Circuits had more than glowing reviews! Snap Circuits are similar to Legos in that the children simply snap the pieces together like building blocks, while learning the basics of electronics.
MacGyver can follow the colorful pictures in the manual to build projects such as a switch circuit with light bulb, a motor and fan and a flying saucer. When he first received the set he needed a little help from Daddy to get started. Soon he left the directions behind and began building his own circuits. The manufacturer recommended age: 8 years and up.
No wires, no soldering, no screw driver required — pieces snap together. Requires 2 “AA” batteries, not included.

I hope this works. I was excited the first time and now I am excited again what a great toy. We have played with wires and batteries to get bells to ring but this offer so much more for the creative mind. thank you for sharing.
My favorite science toy is the outdoors…if that can count as a toy. There is just so much out there to learn about. And since it’s constantly changing (the surroundings, the weather,the animals, etc.) there is always so much to learn without repeating. Plus, it’s free and my kids can turn anything from outdoors into a learning toy.
I’m NO good at science so this would really help us! =)
I think my science boy would LOVE these snap circuits!
Favorite science related toy… I am getting a set of simple machines in a few weeks and I can see those really becoming favorites. My daughter loves all things buggy – the creepier the better. So she has little acrylic cubes with bugs in them. They like breaking out their little rock hammer and goggles and smashing random rocks. It’s hard to pick just one!
Oh, would we LOVE to win these! They have Snap Circuits at the new Glazer Children’s museum as part of a lab exhibit and the boys just love these!!! They are actually our favorite science toy that we don’t own yet. We have been looking to buy these fir the boys, but if we won them, that would be awesome! As far as our favorite science toy we own, currently, it is a tie between the simple machines build it set and the gears,gears,gears set…
Thanks for thus super giveaway!

I asked my son what his favorite science toy is and he stated the solar kit and solar car that he picked out as a souvenir in CO.
what a cool science toy…………my kids love to build things and love love love the magic school bus………my 17 year old still loves Ms. Frizzle!!
Wow, that set looks so cool! I think both my kids would really like it, especially my son. His birthday and christmas are just a few days apart and this is on my list now!!
My favorite science toy is the outdoors. We spend as much time applying what we can out in the real world, it’s just so much more fun that way!
My sons and I love to build Lego education sets. They teach him architecture and physics. Our family would love to win this for Christmas.
My kids loved a science toy we made ourselves- alka-seltzer rockets made with the clear fuji film canisters, a little water and a bit of an alka seltzer tablet. Turn over the “rocket” blasts high into the trees!
One of my son’s favorite science toys has been his bubble gum making machine. He totally loved it! You can even flavor your gum the way you want it.
My favorite science toy is the crystal growing set my son got last Christmas. He’d just love this!
