Description
Learn STEAM hands-on when you make your own wooden torch. Like all our kits, it is designed and made by us, here in New Zealand.
Help your child learn real skills for real life. Real things are a lot harder to make than things you invent on a screen. This kit is challenging for an 8-10 years, medium for an 11-13 and technical fun for adults. It’s a first step towards learning modern electronics. You and your kids will get a huge sense of confidence and accomplishment as you use your torch. There is nothing like making it yourself!
The wood we use has been sustainably grown and is laser-cut by a local kiwi business. Our packaging is 100% home compostable or recyclable.
*You will need to provide batteries (3xAA), glue, Phillips screwdriver.

(via text) “We had fun doing this project! Two boys aged 10 and 11 years tackled making this torch with one hand each while their other hand was immobilised. I read all the instructions and gave them guidance when needed. I only needed to give them an extra hand with the rubber bands to hold it all together. Then it was gone and I didn’t have a chance to help them glue it! Thanks for giving the kids a chance to understand the inner workings of a torch. I won’t glue it cause I think they will take it apart and make it again knowing them.” Cindy, homeschool mum.

My 11 year old son loved making this torch. Lots of discussion on what he was doing and back and forth as he worked it out but he made it completely on his own and is very pleased with his work. Great product. Thank you
