We got the adavanced set of sparksblocks for Christmas. My son has enjoyed adding lights and sounds to his Lego builds. It has been fun to see him learn about circuits while adding fun features to his Lego creations.
SparkBlocks3 months agoHi Heather, I love your description, “taking Legos to the next level.” Adding lights and sound while learning how circuits actually work is such a powerful combo. 💪⚡️
Thanks for the photo, too. Seeing it in action never gets old!

This bundle has revived my childhood interest in electronic circuit kits. Kudos to the designers!
SparkBlocks5 minutes agoThanks Paul! I love hearing that SparkBlocks can rekindle that childhood fascination with electronics. That mix of creativity, circuits, and building is such a cool combo! ⚡
- LLeVerified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars5 hours agoGreat idea, but can be frustrating for kids
Pieces feel well-built, but connections are finnicky. For example, I have a green light and a white light. If I put the green light on top of the white light and press them firmly together on the battery, the green light doesn't turn on. But if I leave a small gap, but only just the right amount, then they both turn on. If I put the white light on top of the green light and press them firmly together on the battery, they both turn on. We haven't tested all the pieces and combinations yet, but I'm sure there are other odd quirks like that which can make a build frustrating for kids.
SparkBlocks14 seconds agoThanks for the honest feedback, Le! That definitely sounds like a connection issue beyond normal tolerances. We’re continuously refining our molds and electrical contacts as we improve production, and we’d really love the chance to get replacement parts into your hands. Would you please reach out to us at Info@SparkBlocks.ca and we’ll help sort this out.

Overall I think the spark blocks are great. My 7yr old son loves them! The only drawback is that some of the pieces can be finicky. Some are so loose they don't stay on well, while others are hard to push on. Also, sometimes you have to jiggle and play with the connections to get it to work. This can be frustrating at times. But we still love building and trying new things with it! Would recommend to anyone who loves Lego and Snapciruts.
SparkBlocks3 weeks agoThanks for the honest feedback, Dawn - really appreciate it. You'll be happy to hear that Mark was in China last week working with our manufacturing team to dial in the feel on some of our bricks - as well, you'll find most will improve over time. Glad to hear you’re still building and experimenting with it 👍
- MRMaria R.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoExcellent Value & Learning
The intro kit together with the expansion kit is a perfect combo. The intro whets your appetite, gets you going with the basics, and then you can immediately expand your world with the next kit. Otherwise the curious mind might feel impeded and quickly bored. Or maybe that's just my son. Either way, I'm glad I got the bundle to give us more to get creative with.
SparkBlocks3 weeks agoAppreciate this, Maria! "Iintro → expand" flow is exactly how we think about it 👍 Glad the bundle kept things interesting and gave you (both!) more room to build.
