This electronics kit requires no soldiering and is a perfect way to introduce kids to electronics. The components are designed to be snapped together with small magnets to make all kinds of contraptions and devices.  The $129 starter kit includes a button, potentiometer, a pressure sensor, LED light, a vibration motor and more. Young inventors can easily create things just by snapping the components together. Its a great way to introduce kids to basic electronics. As the kids want to do more complicated circuits, they an snap together other littleBits.

Here’s a great little video they made to explain littleBits.
