Spinning till your head falls out

This is a bit silly, but perfect for the Sunday afternoon. Here you can make your own kaleidoscope. It is very easy: you only have to pick a color and a shape, and then draw something. It’s fun, because you can’t fail, it always looks magical.

If you’re still bored or in a creative mood: It’s also possible to make your own kaleidoscope (beautiful word by the way, don’t you think? It’s a combination of three Greek words: kalos, meaning beautiful; eidos, form; and skopeo, I see). Here’s a scan from Popular Science magazine with the instructions, from 1944!
