More electronics but..

[robinbanks]

Middle child really enjoyed soldering together a light, buzzer, battery and switch for a project at school so I got to thinking some little electronics kits, for projects that do "obvious things" (move/light up/make noise), might be a good Xmas present

We've had reusable sorts of "100 projects in one box" with reusable click together wiring etc before but I was specifically thinking more like "make X with solder, cut your own wires etc"

Anyone got any recommendations for suppliers or brands that do reasonably priced kits for things that could be built in around an hour each?

look at aliexpress for 'solder practice' or 'welding practice' to get some ideas, some of those are available on ebay from UK suppliers.

Also look at 'wicked uncle'

I've used a number of their products in the past, they are good quality and complete as far as the kit goes, I haven't looked to see if it's still there but 35 years ago I assisted my stepson with a double dice kit which he then took to school and made a wooden enclosure for it
