Mystery Box

When cleaning and organizing my storage closet, I came across a cute, sparkly, hinged treasure-chest-type box.
It's about 7x7x2 inches
It sat in the back of my mind for a few weeks, until I was planning my school year's storytime themes (based on the alphabet). How about I put something small in the box each week, that lets the kids know what our topic is for that week?

I actually hide all of my storytime books and craft supplies under a sheet, so that when the kids come in they have no idea what we'll be talking about. After we sing our opening song, I invite the kids to come up and I slowly open the box.
We're at the point now where some of the older kids try to guess what the topic will be. "Next in the alphabet is G. Is it grapes today? Or grass? Or goats??"
