SparkFun Paper Circuits Kit
72 units available with a short lead time.
The SparkFun Paper Circuits Kit introduces the basics of electronic circuits without any soldering or coding. Using copper tape, LEDs, and printed templates, you build 10 light-up robot cards that each take 5–10 minutes to assemble — a fun, hands-on way to learn about circuits for all ages and experience levels.
Paper circuits use functioning electronic components on a paper surface instead of a PCB, combining craft techniques with electronics fundamentals. This kit provides everything except batteries, scissors, a hole punch, tape, and colouring supplies for personalising your robots.
