Captain A will help you learn: Turns an empty jam jar into a pumpkin lantern and shows the difference between translucent materials, which let light glow through, and opaque ones, which block it and make the face shapes.
⚠️ Use a battery tea light only, never a real candle. An adult should check the jar for chips before you start. Button batteries inside tea lights are dangerous if swallowed, so keep the battery compartment closed and away from small children.
Play through the project step by step, with narration read aloud.

Make it your own: Make a second jar in green tissue as a monster lantern, then compare how much light passes through one, two and three layers of tissue.
