So, another week rolls around, it is strange to think how much has changed in just a week. However, we all need to keep going, keep working and keep looking out for each other. Life for many has become busier, while others are suddenly found with nothing to do but sit and hope and wait it all.
So, Sarah and I thought we would offer something fun for people to enter and win no matter what situation they are in, as it works perfect as a learning tool for children or as a fun project for adults. This is something Sarah was sent around Christmas and has at last found time to try and put together, so we thought it would be fun to give one away to someone else as well.
Crystal Nightlight
At Christmas we gave away some EXIT games by Thames & Kosmos and this is something else from them which also offers fun and education. In fact, they offer a huge range of games and science kits if you are looking for something new to do. This kit offers the chance to grow your own crystals and then turn it into a nightlight using the included colour changing LED light circuitm meaning you can not only learn about the crystal growing process but also light circuits as well and in the long term, you have a pretty nightlight.
Does this look like something you would enjoy? If so you buy it both from Thames & Kosmos direct and Amazon {affiliate link}.
Competition
So how can you be in with a chance of winning? All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is to let us know using 8 words or more:
