Your cart is empty.Light up the night with the power of the sun! With the primary Science solar lantern from Learning Resources, Kids see the concepts of renewable energy in Action. Small solar panels on the lantern top collect energy from the sun during the day, storing it in batteries that power the lights within. Each kid-sized lantern comes with an easy-to-grip handle, making the lantern a smart choice for portable adventures. With the help of their lanterns, kids can plan an evening expedition into the backyard, add a soft glow to blanket forts, or light the way through darkened rooms during nighttime fun around the house. Each fun outing also comes with concrete learning opportunities can tie the lantern charging function to lessons on cause and effect, or use Light it casts to develop observational skills. Each lantern is made from durable adventure-ready plastic, and cleans up easily after every excursion. Lantern measures 7” tall. Ages 3+.

The Learning Resources solar lantern has been a constant part of my kids' play since we received it! It is extremely durable, and the light is very bright. My kids use it in their imaginary adventures (it inspired a story one day about exploring a cave and beating a monster), but also as a nightlight. We have to make sure to keep it charged (my daughter discovered she can charge it under a lamp in the house, but I try to find a sunny spot for it when it isn't being played with). I expect to take it with us for camping later in the summer. I definitely recommend this solar lantern if you have kids who can be a bit rough on their toys because it seems to be able to take a fair amount of abuse. Also, it is very cute and the perfect size for little hands!

I received this as a promotional item from brilliant minds, and I love it! It's soft glow is perfect for bedtime, playing in the dark, campouts, and much more. It looks like there are fireflies on the inside which is very cute. The handle is perfect for my 3 year old to carry it around, and he can easily operate the on/off switch himself. It is also solar powered so I don't have to deal with batteries!

I never write reviews but I was so disappointed in this product, I feel compelled to! We purchased this almost a year ago and it was beautiful with firefly looking lights. My son kept telling us it wasn’t working correctly but we just instructed him to put it in front of the window and figured it was user error. Fast forward a month or two (past the return window), we tried it ourselves multiple times and it just blinked and turned off. It’s been hanging around not able to be used and will be going in the trash after barely any use. Wish we had taken a closer look during the return of exchange window because it was such a waste of money.

We love this product! I have a one (almost two) and a four year old. We got this to take camping with us. The kids loved it. The charge lasted all evening and the light was brighter than I had anticipated. Such a great product and knowing I don't need batteries because the kids always forget to turn things off was a win for us! It is extremely durable as well. Definitely recommend purchasing this product!

This lantern is super cute and easy to charge. Just place it our in the sun for a few hours and you’re good to go.I only have two complaints.1. This thing is super bright…a little too bright, depending on what you need. It would be great if there were two brightness settings, instead of just the one.2. The battery doesn’t last too long. It never fails, my preschooler leaves it turned on, so we need to charge it everyday. It’s not the end of the world…except when I forget to charge it.Overall all, it’s cute and sturdy, but maybe just a bit expensive for what it is.

My three year old loves his solar powered lantern. I love that he knows how it works, how it has to stay in the sun to get power and how that power lights his lantern at night. It's withstood lots of his play and he pretends with it.

I like that this provides a lot of light. I originally used this as a toy lantern in my daughter’s tent, but now I turn it on every night as a night light. The only thing that I don’t love is that the lights almost look like a bunch of fireflies, instead of 1 light source. That style might be cuter in a fake jar. I LOVE that it’s solar!

I loved that it was perfect for my 3 year old to use. That it didnt require batteries. Thats it perfect as a night light.I didnt, and still don't, like that the button is cheapish. Only jad less than a month and the light is already shutting off on its own. The bottom is screwed in but plastic seems loose.

My older daughter has a lantern that uses so many batteries, so I was extra excited to find this lantern to purchase for my other daughter. With high hopes and an excited little girl we charged it up. It worked good the first night, but ever since the first night it only stays on for about 2 seconds before shutting off again. We've tried to charge it, but nothing helps. It was a Xmas gift, so unfortunately no package or I would be returning this. What a waste of money. Super disappointed!

Es para niños exploradores y que les gustan los cuentos nocturnos. Me gustó que fuera de luz solar, que es otra enseñanza a los pequeños: el cuidado de los recursos y aprovechar la luz solar.

Really nice concept and design. Unfortunately, after first use the light didn't stay on more than a few seconds after charging in sunlight for hours.

Product is a neat design. I gravitated towards this product because it didn't require batteries. However, the switch failed a few weeks after purchase. Supplier did replace the item free of charge.
