Paper Circuit Projects

Learn the basics of electronic circuits as you create paper circuits.

These paper circuits templates will bring the magic of science into your home while it also teaches growth mindset as kids overcome initial failure.

If you have been looking for easy electronic circuits these paper circuits projects will be a great fit for you.

You will need a few supplies to be ready to go with these paper circuits templates – some you can get at the hardware store, but I have also put together a paper circuits supply list on Amazon.

I recommend starting with simple circuit LED cards, and then graduate to increasingly difficult paper circuits projects like our RGB piano. I’ve included other easy electronic circuit projects with these paper circuits to help you made the jump from paper to sculpture.

Don’t forget to send us photos of your finished paper circuits projects!

Dr Erica Saint Clair Welcome image

I'm Dr. Erica of Rosie Research. First and foremost, I'm a mom of 2 crazy girls, wife of 15 years to Evan, and island girl through and through. I love creating and teaching kids science activities and projects. I earned my PhD in BioPhysics, but when my girls started asking how things worked, I looked around and realized there weren't too many options for high-level science tailored to kids. So I put on my grit pants and decided to make it myself. Honestly, I love it. I love seeing kids eyes light up as they play with invisibility ink. I love the incredible creations my little scientist students make. I love my life! Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll stay awhile and come back often. Read more
