A kaleidoscope is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces (or mirrors) tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection. These reflectors are usually enclosed in a tube, often containing on one end a cell with loose, colored pieces of glass or other transparent (and/or opaque) materials to be reflected into the viewed pattern. Rotation of the cell causes motion of the materials, resulting in an ever-changing view being presented.
This one here is made with using LEGO bricks only. Reflection inside is made with 3 mirrors from Assembly Square set. Head can rotate and you can fill it with any small transparent parts to get different pattern illusion. Comes with a stand where you can stash small parts
I hope you will find this interesting. Cheers
