Dear Mr. Echelon-Arnost,
Absolutely not! A gift is just that, used or not. The kaleidoscope is his to enjoy, shelve, or pass on as he sees fit. If it's returned to me or any of my future children (or wards, though I can't envision such a scenario in which we would be granted custody of an orphaned child.) It will be promptly sent back.
Encourage him to pass it onto another child when he outgrows it and I'll be more than pleased.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Freya Selwyn
