Kaleidograph Crystal

Crystalline geometries in brilliant color ... this deceptively simple Kaleidograph TM set (9 die-cut cards and 3 solid cards) of the can be arranged in over 350 million designs. Based upon geometry in nature, the Kaleidograph upholds the tradition of the original creative design toys of the Froebel Kindergarten system that are known to have influenced Albert Einstein, Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, Piet Mondrian, and design education at the Bauhaus. Like the natural crystals of rubies and sapphires, the Kaleidograph is based on interconnected hexagonal forms. Six-sided cut-outs and their triangular components are assembled and overlaid into hundreds of millions of possible patterns. Richly personal and environmentally friendly, the Kaleidograph is a toy for all ages. It fosters creativity, rewards with surprise, and brings out the designer in everyone.
