DTDs have to fill an empty treat-size smarties box with as many different items as possible.

First Q - do I send them with identical boxes - there is a prize and I woudl like them to have the best chance (by assisting) but feel I can't give one more ideas as the other IYSWIM.

Q 2 - what to go in it. Ideas I have so far...

  1. Raid my sewing box - I have wedding style pearl beads & crystals of various styles, buttons, press studs, short length of ribbon &/or cotton...anything else I can find
  2. Raid DPs tool box - nails, screws, bolts, washers, a fuse maybe, short piece of wire......anything else I can find
  3. Pollypocket shoe
  4. Raid the kitchen. Not sure I would get away with grains of salt/sugar etc. as the items have to be counted but probably do rice, cornflake (I might even by baby pasta )
  5. Staple
  6. Paperclip
  7. Raid teh craft box, sequins, googly eyes...
  8. small pea shingle pebble

I think there will still be space - any other ideas?

A dried tiny drop of candlewax, the round bit of paper made with a holepunch, tiny bit of blue tack, grain of rice, the pointy broken off bit of a pencil (the bit that breaks off when using a pencil sharpner for too long).....

run out of ideas, sorry...

Surfermum · 17/04/2007 22:36
