Opis aktivnosti (po korakih)

Predpriprava

Prepare the space by setting out the planned stimuli: handheld and table lamps, an overhead projector, a light table, transparent materials (foils and fabrics), coloured glass pebbles, transparent PVC geometric shapes, kitchen utensils with holes (such as colanders of different sizes), circular cardboard shapes and/or CDs, coloured cellophane, scissors, glue, mobile phones, and cameras.

Implementacija

Begin the activity by offering various stimuli that children can manipulate, explore, and combine using light sources. Encourage them to create different light sensations and projections on various surfaces, such as white paper, tables, walls, or projection screens.

As children play and manipulate the materials, observe together how the projected image changes. Ask guiding questions:

What do you see?
Which shapes do you notice?
Does this remind you of something?
Do the shapes change or stay the same?

Invite the children to create a simple optical toy, a kaleidoscope.

Različice in dodatne ideje

Offer mobile phones with a kaleidoscope application for photographing patterns. Transfer the photographs to a computer, view them together, and discuss what you see. The photographs can also be printed and displayed as an exhibition in the kindergarten or another gallery space. Workshops for children and parents can also be organised.

Osnovne informacije in didaktična perspektiva

Creating a kaleidoscope has strong didactical value, as it connects exploratory play, visual art expression, and experiential learning. Through play, children not only create their own optical toy, but also explore optical phenomena such as reflection, symmetry, and changes in patterns caused by movement of objects and light.
