Then he or she will LOVE Uncle Milton’s STAR WARS Science: Mini Lightsaber™ Tech Lab kit!

This kit is one of several created by Uncle Milton’s Toys, a long-time crafter of super cool science and technical toys!

The STAR WARS Science: Mini Lightsaber™ Tech Lab kit comes with all the pieces your child will need to create a color-changing mini light saber toy. The kit’s pieces come together to construct a 8.25-inch-long version of the lightsaber used by Anakin Skywalker. Four colored “crystals” can be easily interchanged to create a different colored saber!

G had a blast putting together the 12-piece kit. The directions were right on the back of the package. The light inside is an LED light, which means it will be long-lasting and brilliant despite lots of play.

Two lenses are also included, letting your child choose a focused beam or wide-angled beam.

Once it was constructed, it was time to test it out. What a light display! (G also contributes the sound effects of the light saber swinging around. I love toys like this that strengthen and encourage his imagination!)

Uncle Milton’s STAR WARS Science: Mini Lightsaber™ Tech Lab kit is available for $12.99 at ToysRUs stores, near you or online. It’s a must-have for any aspiring Jedi Knight!
