Recommended for ages 11+ but younger children can make with an adult.
Included in this kit: 11 pieces laser cut wood, 1 cable, 4 screws, 1 pre-soldered LED with resistor, plastic lens, rubber bands, handmade spring, strap, instructions. This kit requires 3xAA batteries - not included. Size 23x13x7cm.
