Snap Circuits® FM-Radio

Snapped together in about 20 minutes with my 8-year-old, and she was genuinely amazed when she actually tuned in a local station. The FM reception is surprisingly clear for a kit this simple.

Tuning the radio was tricky at first, but once I followed the manual closely, the snap-together modules made it easy to get a clear station. The sound quality is decent for a DIY project, and the plastic pieces feel sturdy enough for repeated builds.

It was fun snapping all the pieces together, and it did pick up a few stations, but the audio quality was a bit scratchy even after I adjusted the antenna. The plastic modules feel sturdy enough, though I wish the instructions were clearer for a couple of steps.
