This is a great project to learn how to solder. It only takes about 15 minutes to put together, too. There are a ton of great instructables on how to solder (one here).

Tools
You'll need a few tools to assemble the project;

1 - Soldering Iron and solder. Leaded solder is easier to work with, and a 15-40 watt iron is just fine. A conical or chisel tip works well.

2 - Dikes. Diagonal cutters are used to trim the excess leads from components after soldering them down. 

3 - Batteries. Mr. Buzz needs 4xAA rechargeable NiMh batteries.
