Guess the Game: Odds and Ends

I'm seeing signs of fall!  Are you? Cooler nights and warm days make the leaves change color. We've got a nice little drizzle going this morning. LOVE fall!  My friend over at TravelingMel.com is getting ready for winter in Montana and embarked on canning projects - looks DELICIOUS. I bought a whole flat of peaches this week just because of her photos!

Guess the Game: Odds and Ends

What would your child do with this pile of odds & ends (considering they are old enough to even have these in their possession)?

My 6 year old daughter kept herself occupied for an hour with this strange assortment.

Can you guess what she played?  Hint: Ask your kids what they would play with these items.

Leave your guess in the comments and I'll respond with the real game after I get some guesses. (I might even randomly pick one of you for a giveaway or reward!)
