Charming Old Homemade Wooden Kaleidoscope wooden amusement 2 5/8" x 1 7/8"Since finding a sweet old homemade kaleidoscope this summer, I've kept a keen eye out I find kaleidoscopes magical things, and there is something especially special, and very tender too, about someone having created that magic for themselves! Homemade ones like this have no turning parts; you just turn the whole thing to move the little bits of colored glass around inside, landing in different patterns. Not the most spectacular kaleidoscopic effects
