littleBits are electronic modules, which you connect to each other. The magnets are colour coded and the neon-coloured Bits range from USB power sources to solar panels to sound sensors. An exciting way to introduce kids to engineering.
The company encourages kids to be creative and make things. There is a dreamBits where kids can post their ideas. Ideas and dreams such as a light up bed or flying shark bit. There are challenges such as What are you Making the Holidays?
