Small Group Packs

Small Group Packs are ideal for programs and events where individually packaged materials make the experience easier to share and simple to lead. 

If you lead homeschool group, scouting, after-school, library, camp or family engagement programs, these ready-to-build 1:1 kits are designed for learners to make - and keep! It's perfect for small group experiences, STEM activity stations, or make-and-take projects for special events. 

Each includes ten individually packaged Sparks, each in a resealable bag with visual guides and all materials. Save prep time and ensure every learner has exactly what they need, when they need it!
