Dear Jeannie -- I like kitchen utensils: eggbeaters, measuring cups, cookie
cutters; a mess of them. For homework I assign the kitchen utility drawer,
or a sock or underwear drawer. Also, if you can find an old oscillating fan,
the kind with the wire guard around the blades. Plants, dried or fresh. For
homework, how about what's under the hood...a car engine; or a lawnmower; a
bicycle (s); piles of combs, brushes, etc. Thanks for asking; I just
generated some ideas for myself. Ted in PA
