Infinite Illusions: Build your own kaleidoscope

Peer into a world of endless reflections by crafting your very own kaleidoscope to discover a universe of ever-changing patterns.
Kaleidoscopes are fascinating optical instruments that use angled mirrors to bounce light around, transforming ordinary shapes into beautiful, symmetrical mandalas. Ever since their invention in the early 19th century, these clever devices have combined the science of reflection with the beauty of art to captivate both young and old.
Using an everyday cardboard tube, shiny tin foil, and a handful of bright beads, you can construct a dazzling portal to symmetry.
Just as early inventors marvelled at the endless possibilities of reflection, create a curious keepsake that asks a captivating question: what beautiful new world will your kaleidoscope reveal with its very next twist?
