I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained. I stand and look at them long and long. - WALT WHITMAN, Leaves of Grass

Kaleidoscope's Trendy New Look

Octopodes change their color and shape depending on their environment. The kaleidoscope changes depending upon the turning by the user. In this re-branding of the original toy below, the background and octopus are connected. If the background changes, so does the octopus, showing a connection between the original use of the kaleidoscope's colors and the amazing abilities of octopodes. I wish they still made these the old fashioned way with card board and paper and not in China. So, DIY and doneski!

For nerds, like me, who wish for more kaleidoscope and octopodes goodies:
