Review: Kidzlabs Light Kaleidoscope

Kidzlabs Light Kaleidoscope was an interesting impulse buy from the gift shop at science centre @Bristol.

It is formed of a very simple light base, templates and wheel which can be put together to create a light kaleidoscope. There are various different templates to use meaning patterns can be changed all the time.

The simple instructions feature some different activities to try, including turning it into a night light, and of course, the science behind how it works.

It’s quite a robust little thing, easy to put together and yields interesting effects in the dark.
