Do any of you have experienced good products for tinkering together with a 3 year old?

I thought about something like a giant breadboard with simple connectors to switch on a light or play a sound or something.

It doesn't have to be too fancy, just sturdy and safe to play together with an adult.

Thanks!

My kids had Snap Circuits but it’s a bit complex for a toddler. It’s probably the most basic circuit designer I can think of though. They did a great job. If an adult is helping it would be fun for both.

Yeah around three they should be able to do it with adult supervision but it's still a bit of a toss up on if they are going to put the small parts in their mouth. I can't find the a good photo of the big one at my local children museum. It's going to drive me crazy. I'll probably just have to take a picture next time I go in.

Snap Circuits looks great! Looking at the images she's defintely too young for it but I will save that for later!
