Hello, Star! | KiwiCo

Light up the dark with solar power! Build a wooden lantern with a solar-powered tea light in the center, then place it in the sun to charge up the light.

My grandson and son had a great time doing this project!

Overall my daughter liked the solar lantern. 

My 4 year old twins loved putting this together with some minor help. The finished lantern is great - really good quality and they’ve loved using it as a nightlight. It’s going on it’s first camping trip soon!

This is a really fun and cool Kiwi Crate project. It did require a lot of adult help for my four year old, but she loved playing with it. Unfortunately, it just didn't hold up well. She was careful with it, but more and more pieces fell apart over time. It served its purpose though, but will have us thinking more carefully about what kits we buy in the future. 

Our granddaughter really enjoyed putting it together and it works well.

My 5 YO loved making this! She uses it in her forts all the time. It was a little complicated for her, but she still enjoyed putting it together with me. 

Illuminate your adventures with a solar-powered lantern! Inside a wood lantern that you build yourself, a solar LED light decoration uses energy from the Sun to turn on in the dark — and turn off in the light. What a bright idea!
