NEW PRODUCT! littleBits Extended Kit – The Extended Kit is a super way to get started with littleBits, or to take your interactive creations to the next level! We handpicked 14 of the most fun, mechanical Bits and crammed them into one double-decker kit, while making sure that they’re a great complement to the Starter Kit. The Extended Kit also includes an instruction sheet with several project suggestions. And, if you ever stop playing, you can pack everything away in the attractive case.
littleBits is a system of modular electronics that snap together with magnets for prototyping, learning and fun! Each Bit has a simple, unique function, like blinking a light or sensing pressure. Just snap a few together to make interactive circuits! With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to put the power of engineers in the hands of artists, makers and children.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
