The Brainbox electronics kits

The fun and easy way to learn about electronics: circuits, motors, switches, light, sound modules and sensors. All components have snap fasteners, making assembly very easy and quick. Components are colour- and number-coded so that young children can follow construction diagrams. Circuits can be activated by magnet, water, light, touch or sound and produce different reactions such as flashing bulbs, motorised fans, flying discs and various sound effects. Examples include a sound activated doorbell and magnetically activated sirens. There is also an easy to follow instruction booklet with each kit.
