OTOTOT help needed with finding an english word

problem : I need an English word for a Dutch one that google and bable fish can't translate fortunately what I am looking for is an item and not something abstract.

this is what it is: shoe box with a hole cut in the lid and the hole is covered with transparent coloured paper. in the side of the box you cut a small hole or door to look through. then one fills the box with a scene of cut out pictures

what is this in English?
