Celebrate Earth Day and the beauty of spring by building a gorgeous solar flower! This STEM kit guides ages 8+ through assembling a sapphire blue robotic flower with petals that swirl, powered by the sun. It’s a soothing, hypnotic motion that calms the senses. Kids learn about gears and how solar cells create electricity to drive a motor. Makes a wonderful Mother’s Day gift, and even has a clip for attaching inside a vase!
