The maker suggests collecting outdoor rocks with different sizes and textures, washing them, then using the supplied paint and googly eyes to make keepsakes.\nKlutz DIY Rainbow Catcher: Maker Lab STEM Kit: When its batteries are switched on, the catcher produces rainbows around the room. The catcher may need repositioning so that sunlight strikes it correctly.",
