Who doesn’t LOVE a Teleidoscope?
A Teleidoscope is a timeless, interactive creation, a cousin to the Kaleidoscope, except with a lens and open view that is used to form patterns from any object. Its clear marble at the end creates a kaleidoscopic view of whatever you see. The patterns and colors create new perspectives and entirely new visions!
How do I know all of this? The folks at Kaleidoscopes To You – (www.kaleidoscopestoyou.com) sent me a Teleidoscope to try out; and from the moment it arrived, I have been enthralled with its magic. I’ve always loved kaleidoscopes, with their palettes of colors and designs, new ones each time I twirled or moved the ends. But the Teleidoscope allows for endless patterns, colors and designs because there are endless things to look at, to capture, to find mesmerizing.
I couldn’t wait to share it with my grandchildren.
First, each Teleidoscope comes carefully wrapped in its own black cloth bag and enclosed within a beautiful navy blue gift box, so opening the package creates its own mystique…
Then the discovery of the exquisitely silky smooth, wooden Teleidoscope, created out of teak, ebony and paduak woods and lacquered to showcase the beauty of the exotic woods. My grandkids were enthralled, just as I was…
“How does it work?” they asked.
“Point it out the the world!” I said.
And, oh… the discoveries! Colors. Millions of colors. Designs. Millions of designs. Patterns. Millions of patterns.
Playful. Imaginative. Creations! All from just pointing the Teleidoscope to the world (or, in this case, restaurant stuff, milk shakes, lemons, Grandpa, and maybe an eyeball or mouth or two!)…
AND a Grandpa who felt like a kid again… !
Wonder. Beauty. Laughter! All from just pointing the Teleidoscope to the world… absolute delight!
“You’ve got to see THIS!”
“All the colors MOVE!”
“Grandma, can you take a picture of THIS?!”
With all of THIS excitement, how could I not try…
This design is milk shake cups!
Later that same day, I was with two more of my grandkids who became just as mesmerized with the exquisite piece of wood that holds infinitesimal colors and designs…
Andrew discovered the magic of MOVING forms and designs on a computer screen through the lens of the Teledoscope!
And shamrocks, chandeliers, flowers and words…
A Teleidoscope is beautiful entertainment, like having a friend who has access to every color and design imaginable, any time you want it. A Teleioscope brings all the inquisitiveness and curiosity imaginable from the hearts and minds of kids (and adults!).
A Teleidoscope allows us to stop, look, listen, laugh, share, create, communicate, PLAY.
I knew all along that the Teleidoscope from Kaleidoscopes to You would make its magic known to my grandkids, but the reaction from my husband and adult children is pure joyful surprise.
Looking through Teleiddoscope brings childhood back; innocence and wonder of our world around us. This is truly amazing.
I’m keeping my Teleidoscope on a low bookcase in my home, at-the-ready for anyone who comes to visit… for anyone, child or grown-up, who wants to point at our world of wonder, color and patterns that we choose to discover!

What a delightful read to begin a great Friday morning.
Definitely I would give this to my other, no, my better half, Tony. His artistic bent wouldbe intrigued by an appreciate the Teleidescope’s intricate offerings.
I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THIS TO MY TWIN NEPHEW AND NIECE. THEY SHARE AND LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE MOST DIFFICULT YEAR. DIVORCED FIGHTING PARENTS, MY NEPHEW, JORDAN, HAS A TYPE OF AUTISM, THEY LOST SUPERVISED VISITATION WITH THEIR DAD. THEIR GRAMPA PASSED AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER IS CHRONICALLY ILL. I WANT THEM TO SEE GOOD PRETTY THINGS:)
I would give a teleidoscope to my brother-in-law! He loves stuff like that!
I would LOVE to give this to my kids! OK. Technically, it would be Mommy’s, but I’d let them look. They were asking me just the other day what a kaleidoscope is. I can’t believe they haven’t seen one yet! I’ve been remiss!
I would love, love this for my son Benjamin. Every day he is discovering the world more, and when he sees or discovers something new that he finds exciting, he GASPS with excitement. I know he would absolutely love this!
Definitely share with my 4 kiddos, but I think I’d share with my Nana also who I think would really enjoy this.
The looks of wonder on the boys are priceless! I know my nieces would adore this!!
I loved reading this story and seeing how much fun the family had. I would love to win this for my own Grandchildren to enjoy. 🙂
Oh I haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid (never one that beautiful). My boys would love it!…I can see myself playing with it too.
I would love to give this to Addie! I would save it until she was a bit older, of course, but this beautiful piece- showing a whole different view of the world- THAT is what I am trying to teach her about life. Her view is just as beautiful as the next persons, it’s just from a different vantage point!
Thank you for sharing this!
I’m like you – I’ve always LOVED kaleidoscopes! I learned something new – I never had heard of a teleidoscope. I want to come to your house and pick it up off your shelf!
Or maybe I’ll be the happy winner of one – my curious, creative kiddos and artistic husband would love this! I can see them trying different “experiments” with it!
And like your husband – I can completely envision my Dad being enthralled by this! Guess we’d need to keep it on an accessible shelf, too! 🙂
Have a great weekend!
I would love to give this to my girls to explore!
This really is SO COOL!
I would love to give this to my daughter. HOW COOL!!!
I would give this to my son, he would love it and it would get put on display with his other treasures when he wasn’t using it.
How fun! I’d love to win for myself AND for my kids. I’m sure my four would be just as fascinated with it as Audrey’s kids were!!
I would actually love this for myself. This brings back sweet childhood memories!!
When I was growing up, we always had kaleidoscopes and I have them now. I would have to keep this one for my “collection”.
I’d love this for my son. He is a functioning autistic and would love the sights he would see with this.
I would love for my kids and my nieces and nephew to be able to have fun with this. They would love it and so would mommy. I have the perfect place to put it in my house.
G would love this but so would my husband and I. What an awesome toy! You really don’t see things like this too often.
I would LOVE this for my 6 yo son!
You know I have three angels who would go crazy over this. I think I would keep it here though so poppa and I could play with it too. Awesome giveaway!
My kids would love to share this with their Grandma! Thanks!
I would love to share this with my grandkids. What amazing entertainment without the technology to plug in. I love all your pictures around the table. I love your family!
I’ll be honest, I’d like it for myself….
Thank you for the opportunity to win it!
I would keep this for myself – love it!
