About Manufacture En Famille My Explorer Lamp
Light up your childβs imagination! π¦
My Explorer Lamp is a hands-on wooden craft and electronics kit that lets children aged 8 and up build their own working lamp β 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 β 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. Itβs a rewarding, educational activity that blends craftsmanship, creativity, and science β perfect for curious young explorers.
