Q: Is it suitable for 4 years old boy?

submitted by Sonia - 5 years ago
  • A: No, this product is Age graded for 8 years and up.

    submitted bySnap Circuits - 5 years ago
  • A: We just received this set for Christmas, and we had a great time using it with our 4-year-old. Adult supervision is definitely needed, but if your child enjoys building with Legos and following instructions, this kit would be a lot of fun. However, it’s not suitable for independent play at this age.

Q: is this age appropriate for a nine year old

submitted by jan - 5 years ago
  • A: My son is 9 and loves this one

    submitted byBaseballmamma81 - 5 years ago
  • A: My son is 8 and played with it for 2 hours straight. We did a couple basic builds together to get an idea of how to do it. It does has a couple "Don'ts", and kids should be supervised. Definitely a great STEM toy.

Q: Would a 15 year old be bored with it

submitted by CGR - 6 months ago
  • A: I've seen 15 year olds have a blast with this kit. I really depends on if they have any previous experience with building circuits/electronics.

    submitted bySnap - 4 months ago

Q: Do the directions come in Spanish as well?

submitted by PA - 1 year ago

Q: Do the different projects all produce different outcomes? I.e. different sounds, different lights ?

submitted by Lc90 - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes, each project has a unique outcome. Note that some projects are variants of previous projects with different outcome.

    submitted byBrand Expert - 2 years ago

Q: What size battery does this take?

submitted by Jen V - 3 years ago
  • A: This takes 2 AA batteries!

    submitted byProduct Expert - 3 years ago

Q: is this age appropriate for a 7 year old

submitted by lois - 3 years ago
  • A: The text and some assemblies are best for ages 8 and up and safety testing was done based on age 8. Parents of 7 year old could consider it with adult supervision or based on child’s ability.

    submitted byProduct Expert - 3 years ago

Q: Can you take apart what you build to build something else?

submitted by joy - 4 years ago
  • A: Yes! Skill Builder 125 can be built and rebuilt in over 125 different ways. Each of the unique projects requires assembly, then disassembly, connecting you with hours of building and learning fun!

    submitted byProduct Expert - 4 years ago

Q: Is this good for an 11 yr old

submitted by Krissy - 6 years ago
  • A: I got this for my 10.5 y.o. son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! He's been into Legos and building since he was very young; so if the child is into building, they will definitely love the Snap Circuit Skill Builder set. I plan in getting him another version.

    Disappointed - 1 year ago
    Cheaply made, and drive up @ North Fontana is a joke. Horrible! No Target team members answered the phone in the morning or evening. I waited from my Drive Up product for more than 10 minutes. My item was in a Target team members hand as he chatted to 2 Target associates outside in Drive Up. I am requesting a free giftcard. This was a horrible experience.

    This set can be noisy, depending on the project, but amazing. My kid rarely wants to do anything besides video games, but he has spent hours using this after some initial help (he is 7 yrs old). Once he had the general idea he was able to follow along with the numerous projects in the book.

    Amazing toy. I bought it because of all the good reviews posted and every single one is true. It kept my 6yo daughter engaged for a long time—it was a little advanced but nothing she couldn’t do without some assistance. We bring it as our gift for every birthday party now.

    This was a Christmas gift for my 10 year old and he LOVES it, thinks it is so cool. He has only done a few projects so far but is completely fascinated. He loves building with Lego, so this is next level creativity. I will say, I wish it had volume control because the sounds are LOUD, but I'll tolerate it for the sake of STEM learning.
