Educational Insights IllumiCraft Light-Up! Wall Mirror

I just worked on this with my almost 8 year old. She really had a fun time putting together the circuit and then decorating! I have to say, as a homeschooling mom I was impressed by the scientific explanation included. Simple, not too long, but descriptive enough that she actually learned how electricity flows through a circuit and was then demonstrating and teaching her younger siblings by showing them with our kitchen light! The only downsides is that it was hard to screw in the bolts on the backs of the lights and the battery pack. Pennies did not fit (as suggested in the instructions) and the screwdriver stripped the plastic a bit. Besides that it seems like it will hold up well and there was extra copper tape, which was good if we had mismeasured or had a problem with some of the smaller pieces we needed to put on the lights.

Combining stem with a " girly " craft is ingenious!
