What you see inside
Light passes through the glass at the far end and forms a pattern you view through the hole at the near end. Each twist of the head rearranges the image, so no two looks are quite the same. The view is brightest in front of a light source, so step toward a sunny window or a lamp before you look.
Science students get a hands-on lesson in how images form when light travels through glass. A teacher can pass one around the room and ask each child to describe what they see.
Tips for use and care
Hold the body in one hand and turn the head with the other. Small children may need a reminder to look through the viewing hole and keep the other end pointed toward the light. Wipe fingerprints off the wood with a soft dry cloth.
Store the scope in a drawer or on a shelf out of direct sun, and set it down gently on hard floors, since a drop onto tile can crack the glass. A wooden kaleidoscope sits nicely on a coffee table or office desk for anyone who wants a quiet minute. It also fits in a stocking or a birthday gift bag for a child, a parent or a grandparent who still enjoys a simple toy.
Novice users of any age get the hang of it in seconds, which makes it a good pick for waiting rooms and family gatherings.
