- STEM Toys DIY FM Radio Kit, Science Circuit Project, Boy Gift Toys Age 8-13 | Birthday Gifts for 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Year Old Boy - Toys for 9 Year Old Boys - Cool Stuff LearningToys - STEM Kits for Kids

This was a fantastic STEM project for my nephews! The radio was just challenging enough to keep them engaged without being frustrating. The instructions could have been a little clearer, but that actually encouraged them to slow down, think critically, and figure things out independently, which made the experience even more rewarding. The quality of the materials is excellent, and once assembled, the radio worked surprisingly well. The sound quality was amazing, and seeing their faces light up when they heard it working for the first time was priceless. They were so proud of what they had built themselves. This kit is durable, fun, educational, and kept my wonderful nephews entertained while learning valuable problem-solving skills. We are completely satisfied with this purchase and would absolutely recommend it to any family looking for an engaging science project. A wonderful hands-on learning experience!

Fun build, opened the world of radio to the kids. They love it after building.

This is appropriate for all ages and it’s very good. It requires zero soldering. You just plug in the parts (board, speaker) via wires, assemble the body, screw them in, and it’s good to go. It’s nice and compact and really clear, and it’s fun and easy to assemble. It also has a long telescopic antenna but it doesn’t have a digital display. 👍👍✅

Great project! Works! Sounds good and the child felt a sense of accomplishment. However, the most important tool you will need was lacking and I happened to have one; a very very small Philip's head screwdriver. Be sure to have one available or it will be frustrating to try and put together. This kept my grandson busy for a good hour or more, putting it all together. He loves it and is proud of it. It is very tiny!

We’ve tried a lot of STEM toys, and this build-your-own radio is easily one of the most rewarding ones so far. Build Experience: The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for kids who’ve never built electronics before. Everything is labeled, and the parts actually fit the way they’re supposed to (huge win). It kept my child focused and engaged the entire build. Learning Value: This isn’t just “assemble and forget.” It teaches real concepts—circuits, signals, how radios actually work—and my kid could explain what each part did afterward. That alone made it worth the purchase. The Moment It Turns On: When the radio finally powered up and played sound, the look on my kid’s face was priceless. That sense of accomplishment is something you don’t get from screen-based toys. Quality & Sound: For a DIY kit, the sound quality is surprisingly good. It actually works as a real radio, not just a novelty. Perfect Gift Idea: This is a fantastic gift for birthdays, holidays, or school projects. It’s fun, educational, and feels meaningful instead of disposable. Great for: • STEM-curious kids • Homeschool or classroom projects • Parents who want less screen time • Gifts that actually get used Bottom line: If you want a hands-on STEM kit that teaches real skills and builds confidence, this radio is a home run. We’d buy it again without hesitation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend for kids AND parents.

Fun for the kids to build, works really well! We take this camping now and it gets great reception and great sound. Impressed with this item.

Easy to put together. Super engaging and grandparents loved watching the grandkids put it together. Worked well and way louder than expected.

My grandson loved putting this project together and it truly is wonderful on that aspect regarding quality of material and simplicity. The volume and tuning buttons however did NOT function at all. We got static and were so excited....only to be disappointed. I think I'm just going to get him an old fashion erector set since the construction of this cute little project did offer so much joy.
