Let me explain what a Kaleidocycle is. It is a origami based method of showing off your photos in a folding apparatus that may remind you of what we used to call cootie catchers in elementary school.

At Foldplay.com makes it easy to create your own. You upload four images, select your choices, and download the result. Complete instructions guide you through theĀ cutting, folding and gluing. The animation should give you an idea of the possibilities. Cool project for kids of all ages and a great idea for a personal gift. Check it out here.
