[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a cute and fun project! I forgot to photograph the finished product and I don’t know what the kids did with it, but we had a great time putting it together. I’m interested to try some of their other project boxes in the future. I don’t normally do things like this so I’m glad it came with clear instructions.
Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So cool! My kiddo loved putting together this lamp. Instructions were easy to follow as he was able to do it himself without asking for help. It imparts a really pretty blueish green glow once lit. It’s pretty durable as he’s accidentally dropped it a few times without harming it as well as easily transports it around. I would definitely recommend this product.
Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kiwico Levitating Lantern is a great STEM project and fun for kids. The instruction is very clear. They are so excited to build the lantern. They got amazing time playing. We also can change the batteries when it’s running out.
Great arts and crafts kit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always enjoy doing these arts and craft things with my kids. This one was no different a little bit harder then others we've tried. I had to help with my 5-year-old quite a bit. Once we got it going, it went smoothly. I will say you will need clear tape which it does not come with if you wanna make the floating strings tight and not go back-and-forth over and over again. The tape helps. Love these boxes definitely worth it
