Use aerodynamics to make a holiday decoration that spins! Celebrate the winter season by building a candle carousel inspired by a traditional German Weihnachtspyramide. Build your platform and watch as the heat of the candles spins the blades of the fan, making the penguin and friends dance around the Christmas tree.

Christmas Candle Carousel

I loved this one so much, I bought it 5 more times for family members! 

Nice kit with good instructions.  It turned out very nicely and works well.

Maybe our favorite Kiwi Co purchase. It is better quality than expected and now is the center of our dinner table for the second December, bringing a quiet calm to the end of the day. 

Absolutely adorable.  Lots of fun putting it together with my granddaughter.

Great little project, my kids love it. It's also a little reminder of the carousel my grandparents had. Get the fan blades at just the right angel can get frustrating but good for problem solving. 

We’ve put it back together and enjoyed it the past 3 years! 

this is wonderful and is now the center of our christmas table every year

Perfect!  My grand daughter put it together herself and just loved it.
My son and daughter-in-law both thought it was the perfect present.
The picture says it all.  ?

Amazing!  We loved it.  Perfect STEM activity for Christmas. 

We bought 3 and all were so happy with building it and enjoying it after!  It’s  perfect for little ones 2-3 with help, and fun for 6-9 to build on own!  Wouldn’t change anything!!

Fairly easy to put together and loved how well it worked. It was also easy to take apart a apart and store  in the cutest came in. It will be part of our Christmas decorations from now on! 

Such a fun crate!  I got it because I had a metal candle carousel growing up that I loved.  We did it on our last day of school before break and the kids really enjoyed it.  Used it with ages 4-13.  Younger kids decorated with stickers, older kids helped put it together.  Works great and is good quality.  Liked it so much that I ordered one for my sister and her family to enjoy. 

This was the most wonderful project to work on with my 6 year old. She loved every step and the entire project was perfect for her ability level. The finished product is so absolutely cute. We light it from time to time and plan to have it going on Christmas Day. 

We loved this crate! The instructions were easy to follow, and our 9 year old did most of the assembly himself. The carousel looks so cute and works great! 

Our niece LOVED making this crate! She is 7 and it was challenging enough that she needed a little help. This kit is really well made and I can see setting it out to enjoy every Christmas to come.
