Hi All, I have a question. I am needing to make a "Little Wonder" for Will Parker in Oklahoma! What have some of you guys done for that prop. Did you really have the knife pop out, or did you fake it? Thanks for any help. Alice

Purchase a Kaelidascope from a dollar store, usually made of cardboard you can cut a slit in the side of the piece to place a cut popsicle stick as a knife. Spray paint each piece and cover the front lense with an old fasioned photo. You can add embelishments to the piece like leather rope, feathers, and beads. You can attach the "blade" with a small dowell through the center of the kaelidascope.
