It includes 4 small plastic stencils of numbers, letters, and punctuation marks, 10 plastic paper clips, 1 ball point pen, and 10 small sheets of blank paper. The last article is a plastic, mini flashlight on a chain (item number 600204). It is a functional, battery-operated flashlight that measures 3 inches in length.
