Build Your Own Kaleidoscope

Build Your Own Kaleidoscope
Kids Craft Kits The popularity of the Kaleidoscope has survived since the ancient Greeks invented it! Sometimes the simple pleasures in life prove the most popular and considering a Kaleidoscope is merely a tube producing pretty patterns, in this case it's definitely true.\n\nSo what is a kaleidoscope? A Kaleidoscope is a tube of mirrors containing loose coloured beads or pebbles. The viewer looks in one end and light enters the other end, reflecting off the mirrors. As the tube is rotated, the tumbling of the colourful objects presents the viewer with varying colours and patterns. The pattern of shapes show up as a beautiful symmetric pattern because of the reflections in the mirrors. Not that words can demonstrate just how beautiful some of these patterns can be.\n \nAnd now you can make your very own Kaleidoscope! You will receive a box full of tubes, mirrors, beads, lenses and instructions. It only takes a short while to assemble a very satisfying Kaleidoscope with rotating chamber. You receive various coloured beads but you can actually fill the chamber with lots of different things. Why not try buttons or petals or how about some sweets or hundreds and thousands? All will produce a different but equally amazing effect. £5.95
