Good time for memories

Bought for my granddaughter. She was too young for this project. Here she helped the adult more than the adult helped her. Nevertheless, nice time together.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Write later

Directions unclear on prisms and kaleidoscopes

The kaleidoscope was difficult to assemble. The instructions were unclear and it took two adults to help the kids build. Some of it fell off almost immediately. I would not recommend this kit.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Minor problems

Bad quality of new and fun toys

Great concept. Poor quality materials. The sticker did not peel off easily and it was impossible to remove the paint from the mirrors. The mirrors are the most important part, the whole kit is now useless. I ordered a set thinking it would be easy for kids to put together. Feel like a waste of money.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Some little things

Not good, EXCELLENT! ! Buy it.

What a wonderful toy! Gifted to my niece, 6 years old. We had a lot of fun building, great instructions for kids to follow. She enjoyed testing all the different combinations in the viewer. A great opportunity to talk about refraction! Fun, creative, interactive, can be an activity for kids. +!

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some problems

Find out how and why the kaleidoscope works

My 8 year old granddaughter has been playing with my 57 year old kaleidoscope for two years. She is extremely crafty, so this project was perfect for her. She read the instructions and assembled it unaided and thoroughly enjoyed learning how my old cardboard kaleidoscope works.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Good concept, poor content quality

Great idea, but we agree with other reviewers' comments on the fragility of the tube and the quality of other content. Our son was building a kaleidoscope and the lid of the plastic container immediately got stuck so he couldn't open it to change the contents. It seems that the parts could be better designed to avoid this problem and prevent the eyepiece and case from falling off without glue. However, we love the concept and so does our son. It's a good idea to include information about the…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Upgradable

Build quality and difficulty disappointing

Bought this for my 6 year old who loves kaleidoscopes and crafts. Unfortunately, it was too difficult for them to assemble it themselves. The eyepiece must be inserted and the mirrors inserted carefully. We couldn't assemble it without removing the glossy paper cover. Once assembled, the tray with the shiny items keeps slipping out. When this happens, about a dozen chunks are thrown out. I wasn't expecting museum quality but this is very disappointing. Of course, it can be sealed with tape, but

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Easy set for kids

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter who was fascinated by the kaleidoscope colours. It's not easy to explain how patterns are formed until you have a chance to build a pattern and see how it works. This set was perfect for that purpose. It comes with all the parts and simple instructions on how to build a kaleidoscope. She understood well how objects of different colour/shape turn into different patterns when reflected by three mirrors placed in a certain position. This is a good hands-on…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
