Kaleidoscope Plastic

A kaleidoscope that turns simple beads into endless symmetrical patterns — a delightful, hands-on way to introduce reflection and symmetry.

How it works

1. Look into the tube toward the light
2. Rotate it to tumble the pieces
3. Mirrors inside repeat them into symmetrical patterns
