How does it work?

Rainbow Peepholes have special lenses that bend and separate light into the colors of the spectrum. When you look through them, rainbows magically appear.

What does it teach?

Teach kids about the nature of light and color. Discover that light consists of "waves" that can be seen as color when bent or separated by a prism or these amazing rainbow lenses.

Ours were not as colorful as the ones in the picture, and they were quite small. When you looked through the center, the images were just a bit blurry around the edges with a bit of a "rainbow" effect. Disappointing.

These simple little things are a blast. The students figured out that layering them produced even cooler results. They are pumped to use them at our "Bending Light" booth at Famly Science Night.

I used the peepholes with my first graders with our basal reading selection Matias and the color of the sky. (Spanish title. I wanted them to play with them. They were instructed not to say anything until the whole class had their own peephole. It was fun to hear the excited remarks when they saw the "rainbow"! They had to draw what they saw in their science notebooks. They did a pretty good job. I also used Mouse Paint (from Boot Camp!!!!) and the color mixing activity. That's what the crystals were for... It takes a long time to do anything with these little ones, so... the color trays are not quite done. But it has been great Spangler fun!!!!

Totally FUN!

I use these every year with my 9th graders when we talk about Spectroscopy and they LOVE them. I've found them to be much more durable than the glasses - they last longer and are cheaper. I've had LOADS of students taking pictures with their phones and the peepholes - they thought the different light bulbs and gas tubes were AWESOME!

Amazing

I often do shows as "Prof. Womboggle", and I have brought the "donuts" with me in a real donut box. They are great to introduce my light and color experiments, and of course the kids love to take these "donuts" home with them.

Be careful

The actual lens material is too delicate. It does work well, though.

They are just the cutest things EVER

These beauties captured the imagination of young kids.

I had to wait for the excitement over the Windbags to die down first.

Used at a fundraiser event.

Watching preschoolers check out all of the light sources was amazing! One 4-year old asked me, "What would we see if you lit a candle?" So we tried it!
