A kaleidoscope works by bouncing light between mirror surfaces inside a tube, so a small patch of colour is repeated around a centre point. In class it turns an abstract idea — reflection and symmetry — into something a child can see and describe. A simple activity is to let each pupil look, turn the end slowly, and then draw the pattern they saw, counting how many times one shape repeats.
It works well as an opening activity in an optics experiment kit for school, before pupils try a single plane mirror or a periscope. Ask children to aim it at a bright window, a lamp or a coloured picture, never directly at the Sun. Keep it in a box between lessons so the viewing end stays clean and unscratched.

These items build on the same lesson about light, mirrors and seeing:
