Abstract: A kaleidoscope includes a stationary portion and a movable portion. The stationary portion includes a tubular body inside which a prism is arranged. The tubular body has opposite ends to which an eyepiece and a lens device are respectively attached. The movable portion includes a support rod having a first section rotatably mounted to the stationary portion and a second section to which a transparent container is rotatably attached. The container defines an interior space divided into a number of isolated compartments by partition plates fixed inside the container for receiving and containing small objects of different sizes, shapes and colors and liquids.
