Mystery Stocking

Fill a stocking or sock with a collection of mystery items, then pass the stocking around the circle, letting each child guess what is inside. They may shake the stocking, smell it, or simply feel the shape of what is inside. We suggest filling the stocking with simple party favors that the children can keep (if they guess correctly). Consider including crayons or sidewalk chalk, wind up toys, a toy car, small stuffed animals, a ball and jacks, or a pack of cards.
