In this guide, we focus on kits that should appeal to children ages 8 through 12, though you can find electronics kits meant for children of just about any age, and because every child is different it’s up to parents to assess their child’s ability and interest. Electronics kits don’t necessarily come across as toys, which means it might take some encouragement to persuade a child to pick one up for the first time. Kids ages 6 to 8 might still find the kits interesting, but they will need some help from a parent to get the most out of these kits. And though some of the kits we looked at may appeal to adults too, keep in mind that they are really meant for kids, with larger components to make working with them easier for small hands, for instance.
