About this Product:
- Circuit Explorer is a simple building set with built-in connections, but instead of creating flat circuits on a flat board, kids are building realistic-looking 3D toys that light up and move!
- Just follow the directional arrows to connect the pieces correctly, building the pieces and activating lights and motion. It's simple, but also clearly introduces the basics of building circuits – Power On + Conductor + Power Off = Effect.
- Requires a total of 15 AAA batteries, not included.

It looks like each separate component requires 3 AAA batteries, so you could get by with fewer (but then you'd also be moving batteries around for your kid).
If it really taught the kids something, it would probably be worth all the batteries. I'm a little skeptical that it's really teaching the kids about circuits or electricity, though. Might be teaching kids something about putting pieces of a puzzle together though.
Still, more educational than many things people pay an equal amount for. I'd opt for a cheap tool set for the kid, and find some wood pieces and create a simple project, and spend time building something with a kid. Teaches them planning skills, measuring skills (including basic math), and tool skills. Or come up with a sewing project (same skills), or cooking together.
