"  My inner (OK, not-so-inner) engineer geek just came across a new toy that&amp;#039;s really got me excited. Recently re-introduced, littleBits v0.2, is a fun learning tool that teaches kids about circuits and electronics. The starter kit ($90) comes with lights, sensors, a vibration motor, and wire that snap together with magnets. Since the parts in this set don&amp;#039;t require soldering, wiring, or programming, like most similar ones, you can put them in the hands of kids as young at six to get them experimenting early.  Think of littleBits as Lego&amp;#039;s for electronics. Just as kids can build masterpieces out of the ubiquitous plastic bricks, they can engineer works of genius out of the pieces in the littleBits set by following the instructions or just toying around with the components to see what reactions they set off. Depending on what they snap together, they can spark a light, set off a chime, or realize they didn&amp;#039;t align things properly! And as they become more advanced, you can go to the littleBits store and treat them to new parts.  So whether you think you&amp;#039;re raising a future engineer, science prodigy, or designer-in-training or simply have a curious child- littleBits is the perfect gift!
