Kaleidoscope Kit - Pack of 10

Ignite curiosity and creativity with the Kaleidoscope Kit - Pack of 10, a hands-on STEAM learning activity that introduces children to the principles of light, reflections, and symmetry. Designed for interactive, experiential learning, this kit allows children to build and personalise their own kaleidoscope, blending science with art in an engaging and educational way.

Each kit includes everything needed to construct a functional kaleidoscope: kraft paper tubes, eye hole chambers, tall chambers, plastic mirrors, colourful tiles, lenses, and a step-by-step instruction sheet. Once assembled, children can decorate the outer surfaces using paint, coloured paper, or embellishments to reflect their unique style and creativity. The completed kaleidoscope measures 17.4cm (L) x 4cm (dia), making it perfectly sized for young hands to explore and enjoy.

This activity promotes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) learning, helping children develop essential skills such as problem-solving, creative thinking, and critical analysis. By following the instructions, children also enhance their hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, and sequencing ability, all while discovering the science behind light and mirrors.

Suitable for children aged 3+ years, this kit is ideal for classroom use, holiday programs, or home-based learning.
