When I was a child I loved to look through the kaleidoscope. It was like entering a parallel Universe, in which strange beings inhabited, with wonderful colors, and in which the laws of Nature worked differently. I was ecstatic and then my imagination was launched. I was recently sent instructions to make yourself a kaleidoscope and it seems to me that they will make you enjoy a lot.
Silver paper, cardboard, paints, paper, transparent plastic and small brightly colored figurines are needed. On page se7, which has been recommended to me, detailed instructions appear visually. The children will paint on a paper what will be the outside of their kaleidoscope. Then a well glued silver paper card is lined and folded into a triangle. At one end, the colored figurines are placed, tucked into a small transparent plastic bag made by ourselves, tightly closed but with clearance, so that the figurines move easily. We can use glitter stars or sequins.
In the other, with a dark cardboard with a hole as a peephole, the kaleidoscope lid is put on. And you're ready, you just have to look, spin it, and get excited.
Make our own kaleidoscope It is a playful experience that encourages communication between parents and children and, in addition to exercising their manual skills, will provide them with the enormous pleasure of making something beautiful themselves.
