Highlights
Quality
We haven’t even started with the experiments in the book yet but i’m very happy with the initial results.
Instead of just being a one-trick pony like most of them, this one allows kids to tinker with the details.
My kids preferred playing around with the kaleidoscope itself.
The plastic housing looks somewhat delicate and i wouldn't want to drop or play with the device too much.

Packaging/appearance
I love the idea of being able to add objects or liquids to the chamber of the kaleidoscope.
Competitiveness
One thing to note is that buyers shouldn't expect for the kit to produce a high-quality, fully-functioning kaleidescope.

I would recommend for the science and learning but not for the kaleidascopes capability

This kit is moderately priced and it at least provides an afternoon of fun for children who enjoy building projects
