[Elecraft] OT - kits for young kids?

[~BG~]

I had one of those 200 in 1 type electronics kits that you could insert
wires into spring coils (that are soldered to components underneath the
board).  You can probably search Amazon for Elenco Electronic Playground
for them, there's a bunch from 50 in 1 to 500 in 1 kits.  I can remember
making very simple AM radio receivers with them when I was around 9 years
old...
