My Explorer Lamp

About Manufacture En Famille My Explorer Lamp

Light up your child’s imagination! 🔦

My Explorer Lamp is a hands-on wooden craft and electronics kit that lets children aged 8 and up build their own working lamp — the perfect companion for evening garden adventures, den-building, or lighting up a playhouse.

This project introduces budding makers to the basics of woodworking and simple electrical circuits, teaching how to safely wire a switch, LED, and battery holder — all while creating something beautiful and functional.

Crafted from birch plywood, this two-hour project encourages patience, concentration, and fine motor skill development. Children will learn essential techniques like sawing, sanding, gluing, doweling, and wiring, gaining confidence and a real sense of accomplishment when their lamp lights up for the first time.

All parts are included, along with clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions. It’s a rewarding, educational activity that blends craftsmanship, creativity, and science — perfect for curious young explorers.
