Review: My son and I love it - I think it is a great kit, possibly the best purchase I've ever made in this price range. I bought it for my nearly 6 years old son. He is too young to fully grasp the concepts and understand how electronics works, but he is learning to read the wiring digrams, he enjoys connecting the wires, and it loves playing with what he builds. We played with the Morse code (the table is included in the book) and learned how to send his name and "SOS" and many other words; we checked how electricity flows through water and how this changes when one adds salt; we built a radio; and we did many other educational and fun things. The kit appears small on the picture, and it is not large: There are 2 LEDs, an antenna, a tuning capacitor, 4 capacitors, 7 resistors, a variable resistor, 3 transistors, a diode, a transformer, a speaker, a switch, and terminals to connect a 9V battery. These components are sufficient to built 51 projects, starting from very simple ones (how bright an LED glows with different resistors connected between it and the battery?) to as complex as an alarm, blinking lights, and even transistor radio (which actually works!). Each project sheet contains a description, a schematic diagram, a wiring diagram (a sketch of layout of all wires) and a wiring checklist (list of which terminals should be connected with which). From time to time, new concepts are explained on saprate pages. Water flow analogy is extensively used to explan parallel and serial connection of resistors and capacitors. There is even a section on logic (OR and AND circuits. No soldering is required: all wires are easily connected to spring terminals. You bend a spring, slide a wire between the spring coils, and let the spring go - done! I think it is a great idea which makes assembly very easy. Each part is labelled on the cardboard, and each terminal (spring) has a number, which is also indicated on the schematics and on wiring digrams. The 71-page booklet makes a fair effort to explain the concepts behind each circuit. It is a solid booklet, and the explanations are OK for someone familiar with electronics. I do not think the level of explanations is great for a school student who does not know a thing about transistors - and it is not even written as a kids book or as a school textbook - but with the help of an adult, the booklet can be a significant learning resource. The built quality is - how should I put it - cost efficient and not meant to be abused. There is more paper than plastic. All components are attached to a medium-thick cardboard. This is not a toy to be stepped on or dropped on the floor. It should be treated the same way as expensive chess or checkers - you take it out of the box, put on a table in front of your kid, and work on a project with him. Then you disconnect the wires and put it back in the box. With this attitude, it will last. I am not complaining about the built quality as long it enables me to get this set at a good price. The only item that is not provided in the box is a 9 volts battery. I think it is a great educational toy. I played a lot with electronics when I was at school, and I can only wish that at that time I had something as nice as this kit! Review: Good learning tool for electronics and electricity for boys AND girls - This kit is a very good tool for learning a bit about electronic circuits and construction. The projects are simple enough and most of them will hold the interest of a pre-teen or young teenager. The kids can start out with something as simple as a car siren and electronic organ or continuity tester and as they develop more skill they can go into something more advanced like the AM radio or logic circuits. The construction of the kit is a little cheesy with a not-too-sturdy cardboard chassis, but it's adequate enough since the projects are not meant to be permanent. Component connections are made by slipping wires and leads into spring connectors and this works just fine. The instruction book leaves a little to be desired. It would be nice if they had more explanation and simple theory but as a "starter" to provoke a child's interest in electronics and electricity this is a very good deal. Also, do not think this is for boys only. Young girls will enjoy getting involved with this. Just ask some of them in my family!

Sometimes he needed to be reminded of what number was next to get the circuit to work. The circuit project we did only took about 8 to 10 minutes to complete which is perfect for a 9 year old's attention span. Great gift for a 9 year old. **Q: Would that be cool for adults as well?** A: Honestly, probably even better for adults than children, if experiences in my household are any guide.My kit: in good repair; the manual is a little dog-eared from me carrying it around and studying schematics to see how things work.The teenage boy's kit: Manual is completely missing. Half the parts have been removed from the board, which now looks like scrap cardboard.I'd be a little mad at the boy except I did the same thing to a similar kit I had when I was his age. There is simply something irresistible about the desire to try to build new things out of the kit, and invariably get it wrong and do more harm than good. That's electronic curiosity for you, and I consider it a healthy trait overall.If you're like us, you may find that you fairly quickly shift your focus away from the kit towards specific projects, as you start to see the possibilities. For me it was learning what to do with transistors, and for the boy it was building amps and fuzz boxes for his guitar. It was not too long before we were finding schematics online, buying components (Elenco is pretty good for most of that), learning to solder (the Elenco teach-yourself-to-solder kit is 100% recommended), and building goofy little projects. I've now got a bunch of water alarms stationed in bathrooms and in the basement, and LED night lights that light up as it gets dark. BTW, when you get to building your own projects, you'll want to use the SB4 boards from BusBoard Prototype Systems, which snap into four smaller boards. **Q: Can this kit be used by more than one person - meaning, can the experiments be completed multiple times?** A: Oh yea! I hooked up mine to a Radio Shack's Electronics Learning Lab Kit. The Elenco 130 is placed on it's own box with my RS kit just in front of E130kit, like steps. One in front of the other. I can work on both at the same time or with eachother. You can hook-upThis Elenco 130 kit to anyother kit you wish. In school you can hook-up the whole class.or the whole school, that if have alot batts and a long ass wire. I still my Elenco 130-in-1 kit from '95. Ok, have fun. RobS... **Q: what age group** A: The box says 10 and up. My 7 year old grandson and I worked it together and he loved it! The book is too advanced for him, but he can easily place the wires and enjoy seeing what happens. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son and I love it *by A***. on April 1, 2012* I think it is a great kit, possibly the best purchase I've ever made in this price range.

Phew! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Instructional Manual *by K***N on October 4, 2010* I purchased this for my 8 yo son who had an interest in learning more about electronics. My elder 11 yo daughter was not interested in sharing her snap circuits set (she has the SC-500). We were not interested in making a large initial investment. While I really like the snap circuits and the easy directions and ease of assembling different projects / experiements; but I prefer the electronic playground for the instructional manual. The manual does a very good job of explaining what is going on, for examples, how do resisters work, what are their puposes. It questions the student to come up with real life uses of a resister such as in a light dimmer. The playground is made of relatively inexpensive cardboard (really wish that they would have used something that felt more sturdy). However, it was very easy for my son to wire between the different pieces. He did not have any problem following the provided instructions. With the additional background that was provided, he was able to take the intended lesson and further explore on his own .... and understand what he was doing. With the Snap Circuits Pro, I did not feel like my daughter was given enough information to freely and easily experiment. Interesting that they seem to be made by the same manufacturer. My daughter has had her set for 3 years so maybe things have changed. This was a very inexpensive way to provide a great introduction to electronics. My middle child was following along with my son and agreeing with all of the written explanations she learned at school for why the experirments worked. As an intro kit, there is certainly quite a lot that they teach the kid thru the many "experiements" and it is a good guide to test a child's interest in electronics before committing to a much more expensive set. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elenco 130-in-1 Electronic Playground and Learning Center - Snap Circuits Classic SC-300 Electronics Exploration Kit | Over 300 Projects | Full Color Manual Parts | STEM Educational Toy for Kids 8+ 2.3 x 13.6 x 19.3 inches - Snap Circuits 203 Electronics Exploration Kit | Over 200 STEM Projects | Full Color Project Manual | 42 Snap Modules | Unlimited Fun --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/76193101-elenco-130-in-1-electronic-playground-and-learning-center](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/76193101-elenco-130-in-1-electronic-playground-and-learning-center) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
