The Circuit Scribe Basic kit has to be one of the most intriguing STEM toys that my girls and I have tried. We were in awe of the idea the the ink from the pen could conduct the flow of electricity. This Circuit Scribe Basic kit lets you plan your electrical circuit on paper and then build it with the included components.
The Draw Your Own Circuits book gave step-by-step directions to create circuits, shorts, see what is a good conductor all while getting creative and having fun.
My daughters and I started basic. The directions are easy to follow. We found it helpful draw a filled in circle before putting the magnetic components on so that it became easy to connect and let the electricity flow.
We continue to experiement with the components and on the next page we tried to short the battery.
I love that the directions also helped the girls learn science content. When in school, my girls use a Maker Space to discover and create. The Circuit Scribe supports the idea of project based learning. I also liked seeing my girls work together in a trial and error style to see what they need to
After learning the basics, we started turing STEM into STEAM by adding an artistic touch. I showed them that if I wrote my Twitter Handle, SavvyMomNYC in cursive with the pen, we could still create a circuit.
Watch how you can get creative with your circuit.
Once you have reviewed and practiced your circuit creation, it is time to experiment and design on your own. I gave the girls white paper and said try it out. My 11 year old came up with this idea.
The Circuit Scribe Basic Kit helps you learn elementary electrical concepts an in simple way. Draw and create!

My girls would love this! And this is such a great way to keep the girls unplugged during the summer days where they’re constantly bored!
That looks like a great kit for learning.
My nephew has been showing interest in electricity, circuits, and making things work. I think he would like something like this.
My daughter is intrigued by science, this look so like something that would interest her! I think I would even have fun with it.
This is a really good learning kit for my son and daughter to get into. It looks like a lot of fun!
This looks like an amazing STEM kit.
Even at 3 he is always taking things apart and studing them, this would be the perfect toy in a couple of years for him.
This is something special, oh, I’m always looking for educational gifts, especially STEM oriented, this is a must!
This looks fun for kids and even adults. I like things that make learning fun and this is also a great company!
Love the concept! I can imagine the kids having so much fun with this. What’s even better is that it also makes use of their imagination. Definitely a must have.
This is so cool. It is so important to teach STEM skills. They are the key to success in the future!
This is super exciting! What fun to learn about circuitry this way! I would love to experiment with this kit.
This is a really fun idea and definitely one that would interest us, although ours are a little young for this at the moment!
What a neat kit! I love interactive science things, it’s a great way to make science interesting, I can’t wait for my nephews to be old enough for me to get them things like this!
I have thought of getting something like this for my oldest two, i think it would be super beneficial and fun!
This looks like such a great activity for kids. I love that there are so many new toys and games that are coming our focused on building stem skills. It’s so important
This is such a cool idea for kids! My full time job is building circuit boards for medical devices so I know a bit about this! 🙂 Start them our young bc we always need help!! ?
My eight year old daughter would love this! She has always been fascinated by math and science and this is right up her alley!
That’s great to know. I love that kids can enjoy these skills now and that they will support them later on too.
Oh wow, this is so neat. I have never seen anything like this. What a great way to work on STEM skills!
This is the coolest thing! I bet a whole lot of kids, especially the older ones, would love to have this. It is also educational, which is what I love the most!
I’ll bet my grands would love this. STEM activities like this, that allow kids to be truly innovative and share that experience at home with family members, are so critical to the overall learning process.
I try my best to make sure that the kids are interested in learning about technology and math, this activity sounds really fun and it’s a great way to expose them more to STEM.
I really thought it was unique too. My girls loved experimenting with it.
This is a fun idea! My son would love this kit.
This kit is perfect for getting kids excited about the STEM careers. It allows them to problem solve, use prior knowledge, and be creative.
Reminds me of when I was learning about circuit boards in the Air Force.
This looks really neat and would make a wonderful Christmas gift for my son!
