Quick answer

Assemble the Power Blox Glowing Unicorn Night Light by building the base, inserting the unicorn filter, and connecting the color-changing LED to a 9V battery. Test the light before final assembly, and keep the filter flat to avoid uneven glow.

What you need before you start

The Power Blox Build Your Own Glowing Unicorn Night Light includes the unicorn filter insert sheet and a color-changing LED. You will also need one 9V battery, which is not included. No tools are required, but a flat, well-lit workspace helps prevent losing small pieces.

Step 1: Sort and inspect the pieces

Open the kit and lay out all components. Check that the unicorn filter sheet is not creased and that the LED and battery connector are undamaged. If any piece is missing, contact the seller before building.

Step 2: Build the base structure

Follow the included instructions to snap together the base. The pieces are compatible with other toy brick sets, so you can substitute or add bricks if you have them. Press firmly until you hear a click; loose connections can cause the structure to fall apart later.

Step 3: Insert the unicorn filter

Slide the unicorn filter insert sheet into the designated slot or frame. Make sure it sits flat and is not folded. A wrinkled filter will distort the light pattern. You can also create your own patterns on blank sheets for custom effects.

Step 4: Connect the LED and battery

Attach the color-changing LED to the battery connector, then snap the 9V battery into place. The LED will gradually cycle through all colors of the visible light spectrum. If it does not light, check that the battery is fresh and the connector is fully seated.

Step 5: Test and finalize

Turn on the light and observe the color change. If the glow is uneven, adjust the filter or the LED position. Once satisfied, secure any remaining pieces. The night light is now ready for bedtime.

Step-by-step build guide

  1. Sort and inspect: Lay out all pieces and check the filter sheet for creases. A creased filter will cause uneven glow; smooth it out before building.
  2. Build the base: Snap together the base pieces following the instructions. Press firmly until you hear a click; loose bricks lead to wobbling.
  3. Insert the filter: Slide the unicorn filter into its slot, ensuring it lies flat. A flat filter gives a clear, even unicorn shape.
  4. Connect LED and battery: Attach the LED to the battery connector and snap in the 9V battery. If it doesn't light, check battery orientation and connection.
  5. Test and finalize: Turn on the light, adjust if needed, and secure remaining pieces. Test before full assembly to avoid disassembling later.
