I think that if the 10-year-old likes to "put stuff together and make things work", it's a great educational toy for that age! The pieces are color-coded and also marked with letters/numbers and the instructions tell you in which order to place the pieces together. I don't think it is too elementary for a 10 year old to start with.

I have it to my Grandson for his 7th birthday. He and his Dad had a very enjoyable time with the gift. I think a ten year old would like it to and probably handle it on his own.

I think a 10 years old is too old for this but there is a regular not JR snap circuits.

yes this would be great for a 10 year old. It has so many options for creativity. My granddaughter loves it and she is 8. I like it because it's easy to use for a younger child but it has the potential to be interesting for her when she is older.

I agree 100% with Snap Circuits. My older daughter has gotten a great deal of use out of those.

We got this set for our 6 yr old. He needs a lot of help from us though. I think it is a fine starter kit to see if there is interest. My sister uses this kit at her school-age aftercare program and says all of the kids enjoy this kit (kinder-8th grade).

Hey, my opinion is between ages 3-8 is a good age ranage for this toy. My 3 year old son loved it but for older kids who like to pretend fixing stuff it will do just fine.

This definitely should be for older children. There are a lot of pieces to put together and if it's not put together correctly, it does not work right. Our 10 year old did well with it, he's been putting together smaller kenex for several years, and he still needed a little help in following the directions correctly. I would not buy this kit for a younger child then what it suggests.

I bought this for my 6 year old granddaughter. I believe it would be appropriate for a 10 year old.

The box probably says ages 12 and up, which is about right. An exceptionally motivated 10 year old can probably do it too. Building circuits is frustrating because they never work right on the first try; there is a lot of patient rechecking, reconnecting, checking batteries aren't dead, etc. In theory it is as simple as paint-by-numbers; in reality, a wire gets jammed too far in and makes bad contact, etc.

I got it for my son at age 7 and he still uses it and he will be 9 this month. I think it's a great starter kit for kids to use for a few years before they get into double digits! I even have used some of the tools myself. Hope this helps.

I got this skateboard for my 10 year old--great skateboard & good price. I think he could have used it when he was 8, although he's fairly coordinated.

Snap Circuits (lots of different selections)- amazing toy and much better for 10+. My 8 and 11 year olds love this toy (boy and girl).

For me this kit is recommended starting from boys or girls about 17 year old.. especially for students electronics, before, they have need the basic radio electronics elements.Pierluigi

My grandson is 6. These are real usable tools on a small scale, perfect for him. Please know, his dad is always involved when the tools are being used. So far they have made a birdhouse, an airplane, and a car with kits purchased online and from craft store. My grandson is a little young to use these tools himself at this point, however, he is always ready to fix things with his tools. I would say up to age 10 would find these tools exciting to use.

I believe it will be. My son is 8 soon to be 9 and he likes it. Unless your 10-year old is a pro I think this board will be a great starter board. It also looks and feels great.

A 10 year old will be okay with it. My son is 9 and used his trash packs figures. However, the game is not well made. It lasted only a couple of days and wouldn't play again. There's a lot of reviews with the same problem. :(

I bought this for my son when he was 4 and he played with it until he was 10.

The Elenco Snap Circuits is an excellent introduction into electric circuits and is appropriate for young people who are curious about such things. It can teach her the basics of electricity which is not normally available to kids until they enter college. If she has an inquisitive mind, I believe she will like this set.
