The game includes green simulated trees and shrubs mounted on green wooden stands.

Two of them have 5 trees with red beads at their tops; the trees are 2 3/4" inches high and are mounted on a stand that is 3/8" tall, 5 1/2 wide, and 1" high.

Two others have 2 trees on either end and round greenery between them, forming an arch, each the same height on the same sized stand.

One more has 1 tree with a red bead on top, measuring 2 3/4" tall, then one that is 4 1/2" tall, then an open space, then another one 4 1/2" tall, then one 3 1/4" tall, mounted on the same sized stand.

There is also a cardboard cup (1 3/4" by 2 1/4" oval) mounted with the open end on the size (rather than top) onto a wooden stand (4 1/2" in diameter). The outsides are covered with greenery.

There is also a wooden circle with greenery on it but nothing else (3" diameter).

There are four plastic rabbits (1 5/8" tall, about 3/8" in other dimensions), standing upright. Each is mounted on one side of a plastic disc (a quality plastic wink 1" in diameter, with no burrs) of the following colors: blue, green, red, and yellow. These rabbits serve as winks to be propeled by squidgers.

Copy 1 includes four squidgers (1 1/4" in diameter, quality plastic with no burrs), all pale green.
