Snap Circuits Jr.

Real electronics for kids, no soldering required. Snap Circuits uses color-coded plastic pieces that snap together on a grid to create working circuits: lights, fans, sirens, and even a radio. Kids as young as five can follow the 101 included projects, and older kids start inventing their own. It teaches the fundamentals of electrical engineering through play. More than a few actual engineers credit Snap Circuits as the toy that started their career.
