Kaleidoscopes for Hope

Kaleidoscopes for Hope is a kaleidoscope art project with Ms. Trish on Mondays and Wednesdays. The students in this program are building kaleidoscopes from scratch with glass, mirrors, and piping/tubing. 

Once they have set the foundation for the kaleidoscope they then hot glue the tubing with the mirrors inside to a petri dish filled with a variety of beads to create the effect. After the kaleidoscope is created, it is decorated on the outside with an assortment of stones and bamboo.

Once the students are finished creating the kaleidoscopes with Ms. Trish they will be given to cancer patients as a token of inspiration. On the outside of the kaleidoscope holders are inspirational quotes and words about peace, love, motivation, and holding on to hope. Our students are not only learning the skill of crafting kaleidoscopes but are also learning what it means to give hope, and how they can impact others in a positive way.
