Why we LOVE this product!
Most circuit kits teach abstract projects. MyHome connects every circuit to something kids use daily, so the doorbell, the fan and the light switch suddenly make sense.
Snap Circuits parts are sturdy and safe, and this set works with any others a family already owns.
Two things to weigh: it needs AA batteries, and some reviewers found it best with an adult nearby for the first projects.
Description
SKU:
EE133
Snap Circuits MyHome is an electronics kit for learning how the electricity in a home works: kids build a house on colored base grids and fill it with working circuits such as a doorbell, a ceiling fan, a security alarm and a dimmer switch.
What's inside
- 7 colored base grids for building the house
- Over 60 snap-together parts
- Instruction manual with 25 projects
How it works
Build the structure first, a country house, a city tower or a one-room apartment, then follow the projects to add circuits that snap onto the grids. No tools are needed.
What kids learn
- Electricity: how power gets from the power plant to your home and through the walls
- Circuits: switches, dimmers, motion detectors and alarms
- Safety: what fuses and circuit breakers do
- Energy use: measuring electricity, like the meter outside a house

About
Fat Brain Toys
Fat Brain Toys was founded in 2002 by husband-and-wife team Mark and Karen Carson in Elkhorn, Nebraska. The idea grew out of a search for more toys to complement a magnetic construction set their son Adam received for his tenth birthday. Finding the selection online limited, the family saw an opportunity to help parents discover a wider variety of interesting, thoughtfully designed toys.
What began as a small home-based business grew into an established toy company with its own range of products, alongside toys selected from other innovative makers. Fat Brain Toys developed a reputation for offering alternatives to conventional mass-market toys, with an emphasis on products that encourage children to explore, experiment, build, and solve problems.
The company's philosophy centers on the idea that play can be both enjoyable and enriching. Its collection spans everything from early-learning toys and sensory playthings to construction sets, puzzles, and challenging games. Family involvement has remained part of its story, with the next generation contributing to product design and innovation.
Fat Brain Toys aims to make discovering great toys easier for families while encouraging children to develop curiosity, creativity, and confidence through play.
