This is such a cool little science toy, it reminds me of when I was a kid at the museum getting my hair to stand up from the static electricity on the giant sized plasma balls they had there. Grabbed this for my kids for Christmas because it's educational and a fun way to teach them about science and electricity. This is going to make for a really neat way to entertain them and teach at the same time! Besides that, it’ll make a cool night light too! It does feel a little lightweight, which makes me think it may be a little on the cheap side, but for the price worth it and it seemed worth trying out
