Make a Colorful Kaleidoscope

 Our library's Summer Reading Club theme is "Reading Colors Your World" and what better way to celebrate a colorful summer by having a kaleidoscope program. I liked this idea because it paired well with the library's summer reading theme and it also has STEM characteristics. 

After scouring library books and the internet for ideas on how to go about making a kaleidoscope, I decided to buy a nice kit I found on Amazon and showcase some of the books we had that explain how to make one on your own. The kits worked out beautifully and this was one of the virtual programs with a supply bag that went like that. 

I enjoyed making the sample for this craft and it was nice to incorporate some of the science behind light and reflections.
