Learning Resources EI-4200 Circuit Explorer Rocket STEM Science Toy, Space Toy, Building Set, STEM Toy, Gift for Boys & Girls, Ages 6+

Brought the product for my niece. He really enjoyed and liked the rocket making.

I really like this set. It’s a great way for children to start learning about simpler circuits and how to put them together to achieve differing results. The included instructions are ludicrously easy to follow with nice and clear pictures. The main build offers two elements. A space rocket with accompanying launchpad and a solar moon explorer. My son didn’t want to place on the stickers for some reason so my pictures do not include this, however you do get some nice clear stickers to decorate the set. There are relatively few parts, however those that are included are all very well made and attention to detail and quality is evident. The manufacturers clearly care about the end product and their consumers with this set - That’s good to know.As I said, it’s really easy to follow the instructions and put together the various parts. The circuit lines printed around the pieces show you which way to install each part to ensure your circuit is put together correctly and complete. There are various lighting elements included too which are also well made. You do need 9 AA batteries for the set however which are not included so bear that in mind. The circuits do not use much power though so batteries will last a while. You also receive two little robots which are a nice addition but you can’t add these into the circuits they are just for playability and imagination.Overall it’s a really good set and a superb way to introduce your child to science and electronics. Really pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this.

This is a great introduction to help your children begin learning about circuitry and the components that make up circuits. The three models, the rocket, the base station and the space buggy all look great. Bright and vivid colours and really well manufactured.These were not a challenge to build but still quite entertaining. The instructions came so well presented in a magazine format, full colour and printed perfectly. At the beginning of the pamphlet was a lot of relevant material information that was fun to read through.I got these for my six nearly seven year old son as he was keen to learn about circuitry and loves anything to do with space. Needless to say he was very interested with these. After the initial fun of them he discarded them for a few days before returning back to them and asking to build the other models out of the peices. Which is detailed in the manual.The LED lights are very effective and add to the futuristic appeal of the set. They create a good atmosphere.I didn't like how many batteries are required. Between the three models, nine treble A's power them.I've knocked a star off due the interface on the space bugging constantly falling off. It doesn't seem to click in properly. Quite a minor issue, which if altered could make it a five star perfect product.

Our five and a half year old loves this set. He understood the principal of the circuits within an hour or so, and on day 2 was using the parts to come up with his own vehicles and buildings.The set is well made and study, the lights are bright! The instructions clear and easy to follow.Younger children may need help taking sections apart as they fit together firmly.A great STEM toy for any kids interested in space and construction.

This educational learning set is really well planned and thought out.All of the components are well made and fit together easily. The instructional guide is easy to follow and the range of available circuits quite varied for a small set like this.The space rocket theme is quite fun for the little ones too.There are a couple of issues worth considering in advance of buying this set though.1st, you will need 9x batteries for it to work. 2nd, the set does feature flashing lights. The lights aren't too bad in a well lit space, but if you play with them in the dark they can be a bit much for photosensitive types.But all in all, it's a really good educational set that makes learning about electrical circuitry fun.

I remember learning circuit building during science classes in school - today I built circuits with my grandson through this amazing rocket circuit explorer set and cannot begin to explain the difference! At school it was so boring and finally lit a little light bulb today we built an exciting rocket and didn’t really realise we were learning but we were.Learning through play is the most enjoyable way to learn and tends to support further investigation and interest.Therefore although this set is a tad pricey at £30 it is not just a toy but could ignite a child’s imagination and supports STEM learnIng. For children who enjoy construction toys - this takes construction to the next level.I’m happy to recommend this set and give it a 5 star review.I hope you find this review helpful 😊

As an add on to the Explorer Base Station, this is a no brainer. As with that main station, built correctly, this will keep the end user engrossed for hours. Okay, there isn't as much involvement, but combined with that other section, there will be more than enough to satiate anyone. Once again, those who put this together had a great time (and still do)Again, it is rather expensive for what you get, and no batteries are included.
