Spin & Fix Thomas
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
With the Thomas and Friends Spin and Fix Train Set, kids get to be train conductors! Children will love sending Thomas the train around the tracks and into the model steamworks for a tune-up. They can a operate the railroad switches to send Thomas into a revolving pod, turn on the repair tool to generate flashing lights and sound, and then use the crane to pick Thomas up. Designed for kids four years and older, this model train set provides hours of imaginative play.

All Aboard Thomas the Train!
The Thomas and Friends Train Set is more than a railroad–it’s a large, colorful train yard where kids can reroute Thomas and make a number of exciting train-car repairs. Much of the action is centered around the Sodor Steamworks, where kids can operate a crane with a claw that lifts Thomas into the air, or rotate a dial that spins Thomas around in a rotating pod.
With railroad switches located at intervals along the track, kids can send Thomas along one of two routes into the steamworks. The flip of a switch will send Thomas out of the steamworks and around the track again. Otherwise, Thomas remains in the rotating pod, where kids can slide the crane into position, and then lower the claws to grasp and lift Thomas into the air. Other options include rotating Thomas with the spinner dial or turning on the repair tool to generate flashing lights and sound.
Reroute to the Sodor Steamworks for Exciting Repairs
Because younger children may initially find it difficult to operate the crane or spin the rotating pod on their own, helpful instructions for play are included. Adults may want to demonstrate how to slide the crane into position and engage the claw to lift or drop Thomas.
In order for Thomas to make a complete loop around the track, the rotating pod must be manually positioned in its proper place, and a switch must be disengaged. It may take children a few tries before they are able to send Thomas smoothly in and out of the pod, but with a little help from adults, kids will love their dual role as conductor and repair specialist.
The Thomas and Friends Train Set measures 24 x 15 (W x D) inches and works best on hard surfaces. Adults will want to assist with assembly, which takes approximately 30 minutes with the help of illustrated instructions. While the repair tool comes with batteries already installed, adults will need to help install the train’s one double AA battery (not included).

Real Electronic Parts
Electronic Snap Circuits includes real circuit components just like the circuit boards inside radios, televisions, computers, and other electronic devices. This set makes it easy for anyone to create simple electronic circuits and devices. To operate, you simply snap the electronic elements onto a plastic grid, and then connect them together with wire pieces that snap easily into place.
The SC-300 lets you build electronic devices such as a whistle chip, speaker, alarm circuit, LED, lamp socket, fan motor, and a speaker. Additional pieces can be purchased separately, or in different models, and they can all be used together to create larger and more elaborate projects.
Making Electronics Fun and Easy
The included instruction manual offers 305 projects ranging from a simple light switch to a noise-activated burglar alarm. We found the color-coded instruction manual clear and easy to understand, and we had no problems creating any of the projects we tried. The projects are organized by levels of difficulty, and each project teaches an objective such as “To show how electricity can only pass in one direction through an LED.”
We definitely experienced a sense of satisfaction as we completed each project, and we definitely learned about electronics concepts. The manufacturer recommends the set for ages 8-108; younger engineers should be able to easily follow the diagrams for each project, but will probably require their parents to help explain how everything works. So a word of warning to parents: Brush up on your high school physics! Although the instruction offers some good information, we found that we still needed to brush up on the physics we learned years ago so we could understand concepts such as the difference between a circuit in parallel and in series.
Unique Learning Experience
Creating a flying UFO from “scratch” with rudimentary electronic pieces was highly satisfying to us, and we think Electronic Snap Circuits may well help young students gain and foster an appreciation for, and interest in, how electronics work and are built.
For students who are already learning about electronics in school, this set creates a hands-on experience that makes for more fun than reading about how these things work in a textbook. So don’t be surprised if report cards come back with higher grades after playing with this toy.
Parent-Child Bonding Experience
The Elenco Electronic Snap Circuits would make a great parent-child bonding experience that is both educational and fun. As you work through each project with your child, don’t be surprised when you, too, are learning something new and interesting. And after you’ve completed all the projects, you can create your own! The combinations are limitless!
What’s in the Box
Plastic “circuit board,” over 60 pieces including wire, resistors, speaker, battery holder, motor fan, red led, and lamp module.

Mineral Skin Osmoter Optimizes Your Skin’s Moisture Supply
Leveraging the principles of osmosis, the natural water-sharing process that takes place between skin cells, the Smoothing Moisturizer’s clinically proven Mineral Skin Osmoter draws moisture and nutrients from the depths of your skin to the outer layers of the epidermis where it is needed most.
A concentrated extract of Dead Sea water, the Osmoter uses a natural evaporation process and contains precise, scientifically balanced levels of magnesium, calcium, and potassium to optimize your skin’s cell functions. Studies confirm that this powerful mineral combination dramatically reduces wrinkle depth, increases moisture, and restores balance for smoother, youthful-looking skin.

Minerals are crucial in facilitating healthy communication between skin cells. Minerals fuel your skin’s metabolic function, stimulating skin cells to regenerate. Minerals also improve your skin’s natural moisturizing ability, leaving it smoother and younger-looking.
