Day 185: Kaleidoscopes are fun, and it's even more enjoyable to build one yourself. I'm sure there are other kits on the market, but mine was purchased from Edmund Scientifics several years ago and came with simple, illustrated instructions for assembly. However, it contained only a very small selection of little colored plastic bits. Not having any glass chips, I decided to add to it from my stockpile of beads. Even as thick as some of the material is, what passes for daylight in the Pacific Northwest is quite sufficient for a decent display. The best feature of this kit is that only a few parts are glued together. Any time you want to change out the "light show," it's as easy as opening a jar.
