As a kid, one of my favorite pastimes was perusing Scholastic’s “I Spy” books (The Spooky Mansion one was my favorite!).  The idea to make an I Spy game of my own struck me suddenly in the middle of the night with a surge of nostalgia.  I raided my roommate’s trinket hoard for most of the items you see here.  My sister and I carefully arranged every piece on a scanner bed, and allowed the scanner to “photograph” our scene.  It took about thirty tries to find a configuration we liked, but it was so much fun! The only thing that’s missing from this I Spy game is a riddle by Jean Marzollo to tell viewers what to look for! What kind of things can you find?
