Find the hidden items in this fun "Making a Splash" puzzle by Mark Corcoran.

To solve this "Hidden Pictures" puzzle, we need to carefully scan the main illustration and locate each of the 18 items listed on the right side. Here is a step-by-step guide to finding them:

Step 1: Locate the everyday objects (top half of the list)
* Fried egg: Look at the very top left of the picture. It is sitting on a plate on the table under the beach umbrella, next to the bear.
* Wishbone: Look at the goat jumping in the air near the top center. The wishbone is hanging from its neck like a necklace.
* Paper clip: Look at the "Welcome" sign on the building roof. The paper clip is forming the letter "C" in "Welcome."
* Comb: Look at the zebra on the left side. The comb is stuck in the zebra’s mane, near its ear.
* Coffeepot: Look at the counter inside the snack bar/building on the right. The coffeepot is sitting on the counter behind the pig cashier.
* Acorn: Look at the palm tree in the middle of the picture. The acorn is hidden among the leaves/fronds of the tree.
* Scissors: Look at the life preserver (ring buoy) hanging on the wall of the building. The scissors are forming the handle or part of the design on the ring.
* Toothbrush: Look at the pelican standing on the diving board/platform. The toothbrush is being held in its beak.

Step 2: Locate the outdoor and animal-related items (middle/bottom of the list)
* Boomerang: Look at the sky above the building. The boomerang is flying in the air near the bird.
* Bird: There is a small bird flying in the sky, just to the right of the boomerang and above the "Welcome" sign.
* Wooden shoe: Look at the feet of the large pig character in the foreground (bottom right). One of his shoes is shaped like a wooden clog.
* Kite: Look in the bottom left corner, near the water. The kite is tangled in the reeds or grass near the zebra’s legs.
* Pliers: Look at the toolbox or crate near the bottom center, by the water’s edge. The pliers are sticking out of the open box.
* Crowbar: Look at the wooden dock or platform structure in the center. The crowbar is leaning against the vertical post of the railing.

Step 3: Locate the BONUS items (bottom right box)
* Baseball bat: Look at the pile of sports equipment or items near the bottom right, by the pig’s feet. The bat is lying on the ground.
* Envelope: Look at the counter inside the snack bar again. The envelope is sliding under the cash register or near the coffeepot.
* Pencil: Look at the zebra again. The pencil is tucked behind its ear, next to the comb.
* Hockey stick: Look at the background behind the diving board. The hockey stick is leaning against the fence or wall in the distance.

By following these locations, you can find all the hidden items in the picture.
