My 7 year old son has a set of that stuff and loves playing around with
it. It does seem expensive but he has got a lot of value out of it.

Thanks your and Mr French's feedback, I think the lad (8) has just got
another Christmas present. B-)

Either this snap stuff, which does strike me as easily expandable but
expensive or one of the other type with springs and lengths of real wire
to join things together. I think a trip to Maplin is in order...

Or a nice little breadboard and some 'normal' components...ISTR I had
one at about that age. Breadboard has the advantage that it's expandable
at low cost (components and even another board).
