Paper Tube Kaleidoscope Toy with Custom Illustration

Paper Tube Kaleidoscope Toy with Custom Illustration

This paper tube kaleidoscope is a classic educational children's toy made as a rigid paper tube, designed for toy brands, children's product companies and promotional gift programs that want a colorful, custom-printed handheld toy.

The kaleidoscope consists of a cylindrical paper tube with full-color illustration printing on the exterior. One end has a textured, faceted glass viewing window; the other end has a circular eyepiece with a central viewing hole. As the child rotates the tube, colored shapes and patterns shift through the glass, creating endless symmetrical designs. The exterior can be printed with custom artwork, cartoon characters, brand logos and licensed illustrations. Two examples are shown: a forest-animal design with the "mideer" brand, and a Disney Frozen Elsa design.
