This hands-on STEM kit lets kids build a working RGB LED camping lantern while learning the basics of electronic circuits and the primary colours of light. By connecting the LED, rotary controls and battery pack with colour-matched wires, children can see how a simple circuit brings their project to life.
Three intuitive knobs let young makers mix red, green and blue light to create a wide range of colours. The kit is designed for curious builders aged 6 and up, with large, easy-to-grasp parts and clear visual instructions to support independent assembly.
The kit includes Wood Pieces x6, Fabric Flames x2, Rubber Bands x4, Green Sticky Foam x4, White Sticky Foam x2, Color Labels x1, Rotary Potentiometers, Nuts, Caps x3, Battery Pack x1, Lantern Base x1, Pipe Cleaner x1, Sticky Foam x2, RGB LED Light x1 and User Manual x1.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
