Dazzling Kaleidoscope

WHAT WILL YOU MAKE?

A cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels is the perfect size for your kaleidoscope. Inside the tube, you need three reflective surfaces—this can be made from a plastic document folder. However, if you can find it, mirrored paper also works well. When your kaleidoscope is finished, look through it and point it toward a lamp or out of the window. But remember to never point the tube directly at the sun, because you could damage your eyes.
