Great for my 5 yr old
By SE on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024
Suggested this to a friend as an inexpensive birthday gift for my daughter’s 5th birthday - and it was a hit! Fun for her to assemble, fun to test out all the different combinations… and of course there are endless possibilities. I had to draw the line at cutting up favorite clothes to put little scraps of fabric in there. The only thing I thought could be better about the product is that the protective paper on the mirrors doesn’t come off easily or seamlessly. Would be great if there was a pull-tab that a five year old (or an adult without long nails) could manage, and if the glue was slightly less adhesive. Still, I’d fully recommend this as a great hands-on, satisfying craft for kids that also introduces them to conversations about physics, if you’re into that.

Patience....
By Richard Horton on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2009
Cardboard tube, plastic mirrors, pretty lame instructions but, it works! I bought this intending to turn a wooden body for the thing, and when I do, it should be just fine. For the price, you get what you pay for. I have no complaints about the parts received, my only gripe is the very sparse instructions, but then, this isn't rocket surgery or brain science, it's a cardboard and plastic TOY! It is what it is, doesn't pretend to be anything else, and frankly, these things are fun for a few minutes, then they're put down and forgotten. After a few months, you may run across it again, pick it up, look thru it, then back into the drawer it goes. If you want an inexpensive kaleidoscope, have some patience and put this thing together.
