This little solar-powered machine turns sunshine into rainbows. Attach the Rainbow Maker to a window with the suction cup and when the sun shines through, it activates a solar-powered motor that starts the hanging crystal spinning. The sunlight passes through the facets of the crystal and swirling rainbow patterns fill the room.

We find ourselves looking forward to "rainbow hour" each day, the moment when the sun moves across the sky into the position that sets off a multi-colored disco explosion, which means our workday is officially over. The Rainbow Maker may need to be repositioned as the seasons change because like real rainbows, this machine needs direct sunlight to function. A magical addition to any window and a great gift for anyone who enjoys physics or nature.

No batteries required.

Penelope G. ★★★★★

Stuck this on the kitchen window with the suction cup and now my whole counter gets a rainbow every sunny afternoon. The solar motor kicks in on its own, no batteries, which is exactly what I wanted. My kids keep trying to catch the colors with their hands.

Joshua ★★★★☆

Bought this for my daughter's room and she loves watching the little motor spin up whenever the sun hits it. The suction cup holds fine on clean glass, though it slid a bit on a dusty window until I wiped it down. Rainbows only show up on really sunny days, but that's kind of the point.
