Kaleidoscopes – Unwrapping Colorful Gift Ideas

Posted on October 31, 2014 by | Comments Off on Kaleidoscopes – Unwrapping Colorful Gift Ideas

Christmas Toys - Kaleidoscopes

What is an ideal Christmas gifts for the art lover in your life? The answer is kaleidoscopes! Kaleidoscopes are not common holiday presents anymore, so the gift of one is astonishingly ideal. Your little ones and your peers will appreciate your inspiring thoughtfulness.

Through the gift of a kaleidoscope, you demonstrate your understanding of what’s important—the individual. Furthermore, you won’t merely be offering a generic present that you could have given to anyone. Indeed, kaleidoscopes are among the few items that toddlers, senior citizens, and everyone in between can equally appreciate. To put it simply, they allow people to see the world in an entirely new and beautiful way.

Your pleasantly surprised giftee’s excitement will shine immediately upon unwrapping. After all, they will be able to peer through that instrument right away. In contrast, one would have to wait to enjoy a golf club, a pair of skis, and most other gifts. This makes kaleidoscopes ideal! Plus, if you select one of the great new, beautiful kaleidoscopes that we have to choose from, your friend, colleague, or loved one is sure to be pleased.

While many Christmas gifts are returned soon after the holiday, the kaleidoscope you give will be added to a cherished collection, set on display for years to come. Perhaps it will be handed down to future generations. Now that is a wonderful thought!

Falling for New Kaleidoscopes

Posted on October 5, 2014 by | Comments Off on Falling for New Kaleidoscopes

Wooden kaleidoscopes

To welcome fall, we have several amazing new kaleidoscopes available. Our kaleidoscopes let you leave the world behind as you peer into a tube featuring shifting shapes, colors and designs. They also look amazing, made with a decorator’s eye to enhance the décor in any room of your home.

  • The Blue Twist is designed by Ken and Dore Wilhoite, and it is one of our unique four point star kaleidoscopes. The viewing cell features a two-mirror setup that displays diamond shaped or square images. Vividly colored glass fragments float in oil to provide a striking visual image every time you shift the cylinder.
  • Our White Iridescent Butterfly kaleidoscope blends in with the décor of a contemporary room. The beautiful kaleidoscope’s exterior is made from stained glass, and it has glass wheels filled with butterfly wings.
  • The Oil Chamber Spinner kaleidoscopes in aqua or dark blue are two of our new models. They feature lampworked glass floating in oil. Lampworked glass is melted with a torch or a lamp, and it provides a unique visual experience.
  • Ken and Dore Wilhoite also designed our Sugar Plum kaleidoscope. The creative team made the viewing piece’s exterior from plum colored ceramic. Upon looking inside, you’ll notice that it displays a circular image. It does this because it comes with a two-mirror system in the cell.

 

When you gaze inside a kaleidoscope, you find everyday stress slide away as you focus on the device’s color and pattern changes. Just try it for yourself to see exactly what we mean.

Kaleidoscopes for Kids Make Learning Fascinating

Posted on September 19, 2014 by | Comments Off on Kaleidoscopes for Kids Make Learning Fascinating

Play may be “just fun,” but for kids, playing is an important part of learning. A recent article in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics says, “Play is essential to development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children.”

With so many of our children spending increasing amounts of time in front of computer screens, it can be a challenge to engage them in other activities. Sometimes going back to the simpler things is the answer. Many of the traditional toys that were popular decades ago actually serve to pull kids out of the digital age better than the newer toys.

The kaleidoscope is a great example of a toy that has endured over the decades. This is a great time of the year to consider presenting a toy that will open up new dimensions of fun to your child, grandchild, or friend’s child. One of the greatest values for the money, the kaleidoscope mesmerizes children and extends their imaginations.

Even a very young child can enjoy the colorful display of ever-changing patterns. Kids seem to enjoy the power the kaleidoscope gives them to create new patterns just by rotating it. Older kids will be interested in learning about how it works giving you a great opportunity to do a little science lesson. Kaleidoscopes for kids make great gifts that will stimulate and entertain for many years.

This Halloween, Candy Is Out & Kaleidoscopes Are In!

Posted on September 12, 2014 by | Comments Off on This Halloween, Candy Is Out & Kaleidoscopes Are In!

This Halloween, instead of the customary fun-size Snickers bar or the itsy-bitsy pack of Skittles, why not try something new? While kids love candy, they receive tons of it while they’re out trick-or-treating. Make your snack bag memorable this year with a toy kaleidoscope! Kids won’t remember the M&M’s or mini Reese’s Cups five minutes after they’ve snacked on them, but they will remember a fun toy they can play with again and again. Once all of the candy is gone all that follows is a crash from the sugar high, and that’s no fun.

Toys for trick or treaters are a fun and healthy alternative to all that sugar. At KaleidscopesToYou.com we have a great selection of toy kaleidoscopes, starting as low as $2.50! From music note themed kaleidoscopes to dolphins, butterflies, dinosaurs and planets, there are tons of fun kid-themed toy kaleidoscopes that will give them their first introduction to this beautiful art form, but are durable and made for rough play from little hands.

Another popular and cost conscious option is the Nova Magic Marble Teleidscopes  which make patterns based on what the kaleidoscope is aimed at. This means each view is unique and new! Kids will never get bored with all the fun they’ll have with the kaleidoscope you gave them! So this year, instead of loading them up on unhealthy junk, try kaleidoscope toys for trick-or-treaters!
