Building together...

I ordered this great "toy" for Zach from Amazon...Snap Circuits. I look online often to try to find new books, toys, you name it that i can get him interested in. I am not always sure they will be hits, but sometimes you have to just try. So I found these and thought, they are right up Zach's alley. You basically build something using circuits that snap together following instructions. Simple? Well my husband being an electrical engineer major was beyond thrilled when this arrived in the mail. I hadn't told him about it and I am not sure which one was more excited to build this thing...it was fun to watch and listen to them work on it and to see the satisfaction on Zach's face when they completed it. They built an FM radio, and yes, it works. More of these sure to come in the future for gifts, they are awesome.
Can you tell they both were excited?
Studying the directions...
Listening to his dad explain things...
Looking at the pieces...
It is starting to go together...
Finished product...FM radio! What a fun thing for the boys to do and it was only $15.
So thankful that Zachary has a dad like Brandon...he really is so patient with him and takes the time to do the things that make him happy...he is a lucky little boy!
