Found today: one maraca and one little wooden sign, both in a basket that had been searched before. All we need now is the striker for the triangle and we'll be three for three.
Perhaps part of the problem was the big basket -- too easy to lose little things in there. We recently picked up some plain white dishpan-type boxes for sorting out blocks, cars, and trains. It should be easier to pick out what does and doesn't belong. I got a little carried away this afternoon --

Oh, are those the ones we call the "Mommy and Daddy Legos?" I think so.
