Lighthouse template printouts
Clear tape
Pencils
Erasers
Fine-tip black markers
Child-safe scissors
Glue sticks
Who this list is for
This paper circuit lighthouse craft list is for 9-year-olds building a simple light-up lighthouse with adult supervision. It uses low-voltage LED lights and coin-cell batteries only.
How to use this list
Start with a lighthouse template printout on heavyweight white cardstock, then add blue cardstock sheets and gray construction paper for the scene. Plan the LED location with pencils and erasers before applying copper conductive tape. With adult supervision, connect the low-voltage LED lights and coin-cell batteries to the paper circuit. Use clear tape, glue sticks, fine-tip black markers, and child-safe scissors to finish the lighthouse design.
Common mistakes
Do not substitute other batteries, lights, or power sources for the listed coin-cell batteries and low-voltage LED lights. Check the copper conductive tape path before covering it with paper decorations. Avoid making circuit changes while the coin-cell battery is connected. Ask an adult to supervise the battery and LED setup, especially when testing the light.
What is on this list
The list includes coin-cell batteries, low-voltage LED lights, copper conductive tape, heavyweight white cardstock, blue cardstock sheets, gray construction paper, and lighthouse template printouts. Clear tape, pencils, erasers, fine-tip black markers, child-safe scissors, and glue sticks support the paper build. Cross off supplies you own.
Before you go
Print the lighthouse template and gather all circuit parts in one place. Sketch the tape route before attaching any copper conductive tape. Confirm that an adult will be present for the low-voltage battery and LED steps.
