When I was in grade school I had one of those little toy kaleidescopes & was fascinated with it! They're cool.

Yes, it was awesome. Here's some info for you.
The kaleidoscope was invented by Sir David Brewster, a Scottish scientist, in 1816, and patented (GB 4136) by him in 1817. He named his invention after the Greek words, kalos or beautiful, eidos or form, and scopos or watcher. So kaleidoscope means the beautiful form watcher. Brewster's kaleidoscope was a tube containing loose pieces of colored glass and other pretty objects, reflected by mirrors or glass lenses set at angles, that created patterns when viewed through the end of the tube.
Later in the early 1870’s, an American called Charles Bush (1825-1900) improved upon the kaleidoscope and started the kaleidoscope fad. Charles Bush was granted patents in 1873 - 1874 related to improvements in kaleidoscopes, kaleidoscope boxes, objects for kaleidoscopes (US 143,271), and kaleidoscope stands. Bush was the first person to mass manufacturer his "parlor" kaleidoscope in America.

yes. it was red with yellow stars and my parents bought it for me for my first school day as a first grader in Russia. Actually they had to buy two, cause I put the first one apart to see what's in there. (Which is what I used to do with most of my toys anyway).

My grandmother did. Some of my fondess memories are of visiting her and playing with it. Just marveling at the changing colors and shapes. I really enjoyed myself.
