ENCOURAGES REUSING
AGE GROUPS
While the life of a MakeGlow cardboard shell is 5-6 months, the life of the light box and panel is 2-3 years. This light box and panel can be reused and refitted in other cardboard shells. Students can now make conscious choices to reuse the light box and panels either in other MakeGlow templates or in their own projects.
Most suitable for students in classes 5, 6, 7 and 8.
