Was really excited to see this and even more excited to gift it to my grandson who turned 6 on Sept. 8. Went to visit my daughter today and he excitedly said that he had already made it, but that the glass keeps coming out. As he was showing, the eyepiece came out twice and with it all the plastic pieces and other parts. He quickly scooped it up and said, "don't worry Papa will fix it." Wish he didn't have to.Pros:Easy for 6-year-olds to make with some adult guidance.
Cons:Wish the plastic ends would stay on the tube more. It appeared flimsy, especially with the ends falling off so easily. Would have liked it if it was sturdier.

This was a great Christmas Eve gift. We 'adult' kids had a fun time assembling and remembering Kaleidoscopes as a kid ourselves. The little ones (9 and 6) enjoyed the beautiful creations. We all enjoyed that we could change the contents BUT I would have wished for some primary color beads in the kit. Instructions are fair. The double-sided tape included was almost impossible to remove from its paper surround. I'd recommed using some regular cellophane tape to adhere the eye cap and other end to the tube. Very quick delivery. I would purchase from this merchant again. In fact, will probably get one of their 'fancier' kaliedoscopes for myself. They have many other interesting products also.Pros:None
Cons:None
