How Do You Make A Homemade Kaleidoscope?
A kaleidoscope is a simple classic toy children can look into and turn to see a variety of brilliant changing colors and patterns. Kaleidoscope crafts are an entertaining way to pass an afternoon. The resulting toy can provide endless discoveries and new ways to see the world. This homemade kaleidoscope is constructed from basic household supplies. The object chamber at the far end of the piece is changeable, allowing the user to try out new objects without building an entirely new kaleidoscope. Trace the end of a paper towel tube onto a piece of black construction paper. Cut out the circular shape. Punch a hole in the center with a hole punch. Tape the construction paper circle over one end of the paper towel tube with tape. Cut a plastic report cover down to a rectangle eight inches long and four inches wide. Fold the piece of plastic at intervals of one and one-quarter of an inch to make a triangular tube. Wrap the last quarter of an inch around the top edge and secure with tape alo
