Bought this for my 6.5 year old son. He seemed to have an interest in electricity and how it works, so I got this for him even though the box says age 8 and up. I must say... this kit is AWESOME! He loves it so much, he wanted to do all the circuits as soon as he possibly could. We were able to do almost all of them in a few days days! (Literally spent hours playing with this. Great toy to keep him busy and learn things over the summer!). He is still not bored with it and wants to do them again! A side note - you cannot complete all the circuits listed in the book. You have to buy an expansion kit or additional pieces. This was a little frustrating but I plan on getting more of these kits anyway so no big deal for me. It comes with a book and it is super easy to understand and follow (although I have a background with electronics how circuits work). However... it does require parental supervision at all times, as there are dangerous parts (spinning fan, etc), plus the danger of incorrectly assembling circuits and causing them to short out. Overall I HIGHLY recommend this toy!
