Özet: All the students use some electrical machines which include electric circuits in their daily life but this subject is not easy to understand as mechanics, optics or waves. The reason is simple and base on their perceptions before school years; electricity is dangerous.  To take students interest, 3D electrical toys seems more attractive and also appropriate for blind students. This tangible set up has easy-to-handle components to design different circuits. It is safe and simple to operate. The procedure was designed according to the revised Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive domain. The method has six main steps; introducing the kit (Knowledge), listening student’s explanation about some circuits (Comprehension), building a new circuit from the guide (Application), analyzing the function of components, circuit (analyzing), combining two situations (Synthesis), and making decision about circuit (Evaluate). After all these steps, it was seen from the interview that the responses to attitude questions on electric circuits changed positively.
