So our kit included part of a pool noodle with a weight in it? What is that for?
Hi Jacqi – The weight is for the third craft – the compass. Its actually not a weight, but a magnet. They just put it in the pool noodle so it won’t get lost. Its a very strong magnet, so be sure to keep it away from all electronics.
thanks!
