Overview

LED Cards are a great way to turn a holiday activity into an electronics lesson. Copper tape helps connect a battery to an LED light. When the card closes, the LED turns on! Start with one of our card templates, and let us know if you’re looking for a card for a specific holiday celebration!

Small fingers sometimes struggle with copper tape, so for those younger students, we suggest peeling a corner of the copper tape, adhering it to the paper, and then peeling the rest as they flatten it to the paper.

All you need for this activity is cardstock paper to print the cards, scissors, copper tape, and a 3V coin battery.
