Three everyday objects. How they really work. Zero screens.
Build a working Light, a Money Box and a Wheelie Bin from precision laser cut plywood, and discover the engineering inside things kids see every day.
- Useful builds they'll keep using
- Classroom proven and curriculum aligned
- No glue needed, pieces slot together
Warning: contains small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years. Adult supervision recommended for the Light kit.
What they'll build
Three builds that answer the question every kid asks: how does that work?
Light
Learn: simple circuits and energy. Connect the parts and switch on a real working light.
Money Box
Learn: design for a purpose. Build a working money box and start to save, invest and give.
Wheelie Bin
Learn: sustainability and moving parts. Build working wheels and a lid, then talk about sustainability.

Builds they'll use
A working light and a money box that earn a spot in their room.
What's in the box
A detailed, curriculum aligned Instruction Booklet
Every kit comes with its own illustrated booklet that guides kids step by step and explains the STEM behind what they're building, so each build doubles as a real lesson.
- Clear, illustrated step by step build guide
- Explains the science and engineering behind each model
- Curriculum aligned: the same booklets teachers use in the classroom
- 3 individually boxed kits: Light, Money Box and Wheelie Bin
- Precision laser cut plywood pieces for every build
- Electronic components for the Light kit
- QR code to share your finished build with the FUNDA community
It works in the classroom. Why not at home?
Every FUNDA kit started life in Australian classrooms, where teachers use them to teach real STEM concepts through hands on building. Now the same kits are boxed for home.
