Squishy Circuits uses conductive and insulating play dough to teach the basics of electrical circuits in a fun, hands-on way. Let your creations come to life as you light them up with LEDs, make noises with buzzers, and spin with the motor. How does it Work? Squishy Circuits is very simple and is based on two play doughs - one that is conductive (electricity flows through it) and one that is insulative (does not allow electricity to flow through it). Most play doughs work as conductive doughs and most modeling clays work as insulators. Also, recipes for the doughs are provided, and are made with common household ingredients. Power is supplied by a 4-AA battery pack and travels through the conductive dough to provide power to LEDs(Light Emitting Diodes), buzzers, or motors. What Can I Make? The possibilities are endless with Squishy Circuits! Create your own world and let your imagination soar as you light up LEDs, spin the fan with the motor, and make noises with the buzzers. Be sure to check each kit to ensure they come with your desired components. Get started by downloading our iOS/Android apps that walk through circuit basics and have example projects. The apps also let you share your Squishy Circuits creations with our online community! Educators will also want to log on to our website to check out our curriculum and educator guides that help teach electrical circuits in a fun, hands-on way. Who is Squishy Circuits for? Everyone! Squishy Circuits has been used in classrooms, homes, libraries, and museums in over 30 countries. The stories and experiences we have heard are incredible, ranging from science fair exhibits to nursing home activities. Our kits exceed toy safety regulations for ages 8 and up. Smaller hands will need help from an adult because the terminals on the LEDs can be pointed.
