I hadn't heard about little bits before, thanks for that. I've got a few years until my little girl will be into these kinds of toys (she just turned 1), but I really enjoy checking them out and day dreaming about the future fun we'll have playing with things like this.

My pleasure :) LittleBits are awesome to play around with even as an adult. A little pricey, but totally worth it.

Cool that she mentioned Snap Circuits. They are great, and so low-key that it seems hardly anyone knows about them.

Thanks Matt :) I'm a huge fan. I actually use them in a hands-on tech program I run for local girls, they love them.
