American Scientific has a lot of electronics kits.  A little late to order
for Christmas, but always a cool project.

My son got one of those 1001 electronic experiments kits several years ago
like they sell at the main stream places and it was pretty lame.  A lot of
stuff was intended for somebody whop already knows the stuff to play and
make themselves feel clever.  His grampa brought him a crystal radio kit for
Christmas one year and that one was a big success.  Of course gramps was the
kind to steal his dad's old razor blades to make his own crystal radions in
ages past.

My son does make a pretty good attic rat.  I had a panic attack this last
year doing a floor crawl.  (First time ever.)  My son saved the day, and
pulled all the wires.
