1. Round candies (such as Lifesavers) 2. Other round cereals (such as Froot Loops) 3. Coins with holes (Japanese yen, subway tokens) 4. Grommets (may have in tool chest, or cut off tarp or pencil case) 5. Popped off computer keyboard keys 6. Some pen caps (such as highlighters) 7. Some bottle caps (hotel hand lotion, dishwashing soap, shampoo) 8. Hoop earrings/noserings/other piercings 9. Finger/toe rings (you can get a ton of kids' plastic ones for pennies) 10. Small rubber bands (office supplies or orthodonture) 11. Pencil erasers and other "toppers" 12. Hollow game pieces (such as some chess pawns) 13. Cut rings or squares with holes out of plastic canvas, felt, or cardboard 14. Tie yarn, ribbon, embroidery floss, or string into a ring shape 15. Washers or nuts for bolts 16. Beads with large holes (possibly pony beads?) 17. Include reproducible patterns for paper pyramids in the 3HOUSE book (they could even just trace the image by laying regular paper over the top if they don't have access to a photocopier). It may seem like that would encourage not purchasing the actual pieces, but I think it would help hook them on the 4+ stash games so that they wanted to complete their sets. --- Kristin Looney <kristin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Second, Andy started searching the house yesterday > for other things that > might be used as caps for Volcano... so he could > mention in the 3HOUSE > book that Volcano can be played with 5 Treehouse > sets + 5 of "something you > should have on hand".
