Review on ๐Ÿ”ฌ Kaleidoscope Children's Educational Developmental by Kbraveo by James Wiley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No directions are best in prisms and kaleidoscopes

Although fairly basic, no directions or reading material were included. I was hoping there would be a scientific bulletin or something about refraction. I do not know. Some. Also, without instructions, I didn't realize until I built one of the kaleidoscopes that there was plastic wrap on all the plastic parts that had to be removed. Easy enough to fix. All tubes are different sizes. A tube is too big for the supplied mirror. To solve this problem I took a tube from a toilet paper roll, cut it open and threw it in the tube. It made a tight landing. The items provided that make the colors below have no luster. Anyway, my kids and I built it together. It took a whole 5 minutes. The supplied paper/decorative paper does not fit on any of the tubes. Only one was brilliant. One was a tiny piece of thick paper and the other looked like stationery. Stickers are not good. They fall off shortly after application. If you can provide additional options for adding colors to the kaleidoscope and creating materials to decorate with, that's pretty nice. With a little adaptability and patience, we were able to complete this task. I would consciously not buy this set again. I gave two stars instead of one because my kids loved it. Although they don't like the beads on the bottom (although I have nothing else to offer them), they still think it's beautiful.
