Core Bricks
Core Bricks are the five bricks that everyone should make first. They are the Battery Brick, LED Brick, Binder Clip Switch, Push Switch, and Dial Switch. Parts for these will come from an LED candle (usually 2 for $1). You will also need some cardboard, 11 small binder clips, 2 paper clips, aluminium foil, glue, and a marker.
