Electronic circuit kit suggestions for children

[Prawo Jazdy]

Hello,

My child has a birthday soon and has taken an interest in circuits. I have a DK book from the early 90’s that they have started looking at since doing some experimenting/playing with basic circuits at school.

Does anyone have any suggestions for nice quality kits that build on this? Things like bulbs, motors, buzzers or other sound transducers, would be good, but if it can include some other components like resistors, diodes, transistors, logic gates etc that might be a plus.

They’re turning nine, so that’s a level I’m looking at, plus a couple of years. I’ve looked in the usual places, but a lot of it appears to be mainly fancy packaging and lots of cheap plastic that will be stop being interesting quickly and then spend several thousand years in landfill. Any suggestions for better quality, longer life options? I’ve got an Arduino starter kit that I used for a project, so that’s available for when they’re a bit older or understand a bit more.

Thanks
