KiwiCo Light-Up Wire Art Kit — DIY Electroluminescent Signs for Kids

Glow, create, and learn with light-powered art

Turn imagination into illuminated decor with the KiwiCo Light-Up Wire Art Kit. This complete crate lets kids craft two battery-powered signs using electroluminescent (EL) wire. It includes all the essentials: EL wires, battery packs, five design templates, hang tabs, an illustrated instruction booklet, and more for a smooth, hands-on experience.

What’s inside and how it works

• EL wires for vibrant, gentle glow that stays cool to the touch
• Battery packs to power your two signs without cords
• Five design templates to spark ideas or guide a custom layout
• Hang tabs and an illustrated booklet to help you display your creation

To use, connect the EL wire to the battery pack, weave and twist it along the templates, and proudly display your finished signs. The kit supports both following the templates and designing a unique, single-line sign for a personal touch.
