LittleBits

I have been review Christmas presents for the girls and came across LittleBits.  I had been getting emails and advertisement on it for awhile but didn't really understand what they were so I kind of just ignored it.  Well I researched them yesterday and they look like the will take the place of Snap Circuits for us.  I think I want to get the deluxe kit plus the USB power and vibration motor.  It is pretty pricey and that is why I am hesitating.

Here is how each of the kits are broken down.  I wish they had this chart on their website www.littlebits.cc.
