Play was relatively easy. We simply connect some wires and Eureka, we managed to make a ball fly. Other thing you could do include making a bell ring, lighting LEDs and more. There are some wires and tools to help you get started. However, with creativity, you could turn this into a personal circuit board that could give power to the experiments you created.

This experimental play challenges our creativity and lets us be familiar with basic science concepts. It's a good tool for discovery and experimental play.
