- toy motorcycle
- three grapes and more grape stems than I can count
- two pieces of unopened mail (not from today)

- tub of markers, some of which are still in the tub, and some pencils
- glue bottle
- pair of kid scissors
- unused (maybe used, I can't always tell) recycled office paper we keep around for art

- enough dirt to plant a garden
