15 cotton balls

15 rubber bands

1 Lithium battery

​

It is expected that the cotton balls, Q-tips, and rubber bands will have to be replaced each time the kit is returned. The water color kit may also need to be cleaned. The other items will need to be replaced if not returned. We found this is often be the case with the battery and vibrating motor. We have provided links to the various material for you to compare products and prices.
