You never know what will capture a child's imagination, so it is important to expose them to a variety of things. Birthday and Christmas gifts from people less familiar with them are good for this, but what is even better is when the gift isn't even for them; such is the case with a present by the name of "Snap Circuits," Michael received for his 11th.
This simple science kit is designed to allow a child to safely play with electricity has captured Alex's imagination, so much so. that when we were watching TV as a family last week, he was getting frustrated that the commercials weren't long enough for his experiments. He riffled through 50 projects in the book, but has since started designing his own. I certainly did not know that this would so engage him like it did, but fortunately it found its way to him.
